I agree with alot of other answers if it was addressed to Mr and Mrs. Martin then it is just you two
If it says Mr. and Mrs. Martin and Family then the kids are included BUT if you dont not know for sure Call the bride and Groom and ask them ,... there is nothing more rude then inviting people to a wedding that weren't invited some people really don't want kids there I would call and double check!!

the answer is no. The invitation will usually be addressed to Mrs Smith and guest. or Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Wedding dinners are not cheap, and if everyone who attends the wedding has the same thought as you, there could be a lot of extra people. However, if it is someone very close - sister or brother, maybe that is different - I don't know. But usually if the intentions are for the kids to be invited - it will be specified on the invitation

Etiquette says that only those listed on the invitation are invited to the wedding. If the invitation does not list the children's names or at least say "and family" then the children are not invited.
If you believe that the couple meant to invite children, but didn't list them, then you should call and ask. DO NOT just assume you can bring them.

Usually the couple will specify on the envelope (either outside or inside) who exactly is invited.
If it says Mr & Mrs XXX, then it is just the couple
If it says Mr & Mrs XXX and family, then everyone
If you're not sure, ask the couple. Nothing is more frustrating then getting an RSVP back for 6 people when you only invited 2

To the wedding yes but reception no, if invited would have been written on the invite. If unsure when replying just ask about kids.

NO,NO, NO, a million times no!
I got married last month, and although I love children, I did not invite all of the couples and their children too-only some of the children were invited.
Weddings are family occasions, but please keep in mind that they are also expensive. It´s not that the bride and groom don´t like children, it´s probably because they do cost per meal.

It is never ok to bring a guest who has not been specifically invited. If the childrens' names aren't on the invitation, they are not invited. Don't bring them. Either hire a sitter or decline the invitation, as you see fit.

Who was the invitation addressed to? If it was addressed to "Mr and Mrs Smith" then no, your children were not invited and you should leave them at home with a sitter. If it says "Mr and Mrs Smith and Children" then your kids are invited and can attend the wedding.

As a retired clergyman I have seen many beautiful weddings ruined by squawling or screaming two year olds and crying babies. Common sense tells the rational that too much has gone into the service to risk it being ruined by parents who do not have enough common sense or will power to take care of their kids with a nursery worker or stay at home.
you want to remember your best friend or relatives wedding.
Take your misbehavin kids and youll never forget it and your friend or relative wont either. You can count on it.

Never assume and they'll thank you for being considerate. This is a busy time for us brides and she may or may not have unintentionally forgotten. Try your best to contact someone and confirm. Also ask yourself, Is what type of environment will it be? And, Do you want your children in that environment? Will there be adults drinking alcoholic beverages? Just a thought.
Either way enjoy the night out.
