We did. There was a newborn there, but she was BF and the matron of honours child, and my god child.

We invited a couple who replied with 2.5 coming. Was very akward telling them there would be no children at the wedding. The mother didn't come. Which is a shame because 8 years later we are still friends and I'd have liked to have had her there.

No. I actually had a children's table of about 8 kids.. I think the youngest was 6, oldest was my nephew who was 12.
I was happy for people with toddlers to bring them, but they made other arrangements. That really was for the best, the parents had a chance to let their hair down.

We had one child, my nephew, he was nearly 7 at the time. I would have preferred not to have any children, but I didn't want to put up with the whinging from my sister for the rest of my life.

Yes I did - and besides one couple, there were no children to consider. The couple that had childen (my eldest cousin) appreciated the child free night - her words. Her youngest came - she was 1 1/2 months old. I can not recall hearing her - she was the quietest baby!

Yep - one of the best wedding decisions we made!

Our reception was in a cocktail bar, and children were prohibited by law from being in there, so we had a no kids policy. There was a new baby there. No one seemed to mind not being allowed to bring their children, though.

We had children at our wedding. We encouraged parents to bring their children but not many did. We did not have a tradtional formal wedding. It was lots of fun and some of the most beautiful photos of the day feature the children who added to the magic of the day.

We had a child free wedding, with the exception of my step-children who were our bridal party. Hubby and I work in the wedding industry, and have seen many a parents night ruined by unruly, tired children running amok. I am a VERY firm believer that children and weddings do not mix. We've never regretted our decision.

We had children. All the children in our lives are as important as the adults. (we got married pre children)

But we do not pretend to be elegant and did not have a 'elegant' wedding that meant we could not accommodate children.

We had 3 newborns and a couple of 1 year olds.

Thought we were being considerate but it didn't stop complaints about other stuff. It got back to me that they complained about the lack of a private breastfeedng space and that their prams couldn't fit at the tables. Can't win!
