as long as the invitation to the wedding &/or reception doesn't say "no children", or "adults only", then sure why not.

Take the kids to a wedding. It's nice to have the whole family together. As for the reception, it really depends on your children. If they enjoy parties, then by all means.

I think it is truely alright to take children to weddings and receptions. But the kids have to know how they are to act when they go. They need to know the right manners for such occassions when they do go. I think if planning ahead you can actually stop problems before they can start.

for a wedding I'd suggest a reward system to where they know if they sit still and are quiet for the needed time they get something good.
if they are too young for that and the families are cool with it, just sit toward the back to handle any potential fussyness.
i would hope the reception would hold no problems kids = parties and receptions are supposed to be happy parties. supposed to be i guess

Not young children, no. Even if it is family, there is no point in taking small children to an event that they won't understand. Pay the sitter and enjoy the wedding with your husband or boyfriend.

Generally no. These events are for adults, and should not be marred by the little darlings acting out. The only exception would be the children of the couple about to be married. They might not be able to get a sitter.

Of course it is. Children need to be a total part of family celebrations - that is how they learn and experience. They need to attend the ceremony to see the specialness and sacredness and the traditions, then be with everyone to celebrate the joining of the couple in marriage. They get to see family members they don't see often, play with friends, make new friends, etc.

I think it depends on several things.
The age and behavior of the children. What the bride and groom's feelings are on the topic. And if the children will be supervised.

It depends: Were they invited? Will they behave? Are the parents willing to miss the ceremony if they misbehave and have to remove them from the building, or will they sit there letting them annoy everyone else?

Not really, it depends on the age of the kid, and if the bride and groom think it is ok. Alot of times the invite will say no kids
