You mean I'm not invited? :-(
You afraid I might stand up and say I object to the wedding? That I might say that I see reason why this couple shouldn't be wed?
I promise I won't do that.
Can I come? Huh? Can I can I...P L E E E E Z?
Oh well. It's your wedding. Enjoy it in whatever way you want.
Do me a favor tho; since I can't come to the wedding;
promise me the both of you will remeber your vows.
K?
I pray that you find and have many years of joy together.

weddings are tricky.. no matter what one does.. they are sure to upset someone.. etiquette says that is some children are invited then no children should be excluded... there are ways around this however... for example.. if you have older children... you can put a cap on the age of children invited.. such as 12 years old.. or y ou can have children welcome till 7 pm or something like that...
at the end of the day... a wedding is a very personal thing... and it needs to be everything the bride and groom imagined.. it is after all there day... no one elses.
Cheers, A

Yes of course it is ok not to invite any other kids. People will understand and those don't are not friends or good family members. We are not having any kids at our wedding but the flower girl, and ring bear (I wanted kids but My sweetie said no kids at all) We are also getting married on the beach right next to the water at high tide. So children are not such a good idea! All of our family memebers understand and have already found a babysitter. We are not gettting married till June next year!! Best wishes and good luck!! I hope I helped!

Of course! Getting married means you wish to share your life with someone else. Not only that buta wedding ceremony can include those that you want to share that moment with. If you feel the only people that have meaning to you on that day are your children then of course do what pleases you. It's your day and no one else should matter. Good Luck

If you are excluding children, you need to be consistent: ALL children under 5, say (unless they are IN the wedding). If you make exceptions, (even for your own) people with children are going to be offended, and rightly so.

Hi. That would be fine. Check with your local county clerk's office regarding the signature of a witness. I am not sure if each state is different, but in most states you need the signature of 2 witnesses. These need to be someone older than 18....but, then, you do hear of people that just go to a JP, so I'm not certain?? Hmm....check with your local clerk's office.

Yes, that's fine.
I think the children of the bride and groom and their nieces and nephew are OK to invite. I think it's fine to allow them and not to allow other children such as family friend's kids or distance child relatives.
You are making a clear division and it's fine.

Of course,it is between you & the groom to be,and the children.Of course,legally,you still need to have 2 adult witnesses.If other people disagree,it is not*their*wedding-it is yours.You can always celebrate your marriage in other ways to include thse not invited,if you want to.

It's your wedding, I think you should invite who you want and if it's only your children, then so be it.

I would have them at the ceremony and depending on their age, part of the reception. If they are young, they should go home after the meal with a babysitter.
