Hi there!
I would say it depends on how well behaved your kids are and if it is formal or not. I would definitly ask first, they might have a preference and also might be charged the full price for their plate of food and that can get pretty expensive for the couple and their families. Hope this helps and have a GREAT time at the wedding no matter what!
:-)

The best thing to do would be to check on the invitation. If the invitation says "Mr and Mrs So-and So" then it is expected that only you and your spouse go to the wedding. However, if it says "Mr and Mrs So and So and Family" then it is okay to have your kids come with you as well. If kids are not welcome at the wedding, sometimes the invitation will say that it is a no-kids wedding. Good luck.

you're saying you choose for a appropriate bridal ceremony. I even have by using no potential been to a bridal ceremony that was once formal and had little ones on the centred visitor record. it relatively is annoying to have a appropriate affair with little ones walking approximately and being "lovable". slightly one's job is to play, detect and make noise and function relaxing. young little ones can't be envisioned to take a seat down in a appropriate dinner ecosystem for quite a few hours without needing fidgety. So, that must be a given and does exchange our surroundings of a so observed as formal social accumulating. None the fewer, that's relatively rude to be inviting some little ones and not others. it relatively is in basic terms the way it relatively is. As a father or mother, little ones are our precedence and as such we make sacrifices for them as a factor of our parenthood journey. And, that suggests getting to understand a babysitter for the little ones (domestically or depart them residing house with a sitter or kinfolk member) or now no longer attending an affair or anticipating centred medicine. i understand this isn't the respond you choose for to pay attention for the reason which you have already made up your mind. Throwing a bbq for little ones the day after your wedding ceremony is ridiculous.

NO! It is not OK to bring anyone to a wedding who has not been specifically invited, and this goes double for young kids.

I was really annoyed at the children who came to my wedding. Dont get me wrong, I'm not cold hearted I just think its not polite. No bride wants to remember her wedding with a screaming child or one thats running around or misbehaving during her vows. Granted there may be flower girls and ring bearers there but they usually are family and part of the wedding. I would say that if you must bring your children, skip the wedding catch the video later and meet up at the reception where things are more loose and your kids can play or dance and eat and stuff. Plenty to keep them entertained too. Its just not fair to a child to expect them to sit quietly during a wedding until they are of age to do so. asking permission is not fair to the bride and groom cuz of course they're gonna say yes even if they want to say no. It puts them in a rough spot cuz they dont wanna tell a friend they cant bring their children

Ask your friends! Some people like a very formal wedding, adults only and please no children except perhaps very close family... or sometimes not even those. Others -especially if there are many young children in their own family- like a more informal family event, where children are welcome and there may even be activities for them. Best way to find out is ask!

If the invitation you received was addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Baremusicfoot(umm, don't know your real name, so bear with me:P) and family, I'm sure it would be fine. But the only way you are going to know 100% is if you call your friend and ask if you can bring your children.(if you know your friend isn't a kid person, err on the side of caution and get a babysitter:D)

You need to ask the friend this question. If you do bring them make sure that they are occupied so they dont disturb the ceremony or reception. I would say get a babysitter if you can, you will probably have more fun without them.

Well of course not. You cannot for an instant believe that kids of any age actually ENJOY a wedding. Nor do they fully understand it. What's the point in annoying everyone else?

Check the invite, if it isn't listed, I would call a family member so as to not upset anyone.
