Say No to Kiddie Chaos: Why Brides and Grooms Shouldn’t Have to Host Children at Their Wedding

Several times during my years on Twitter, I have argued with people about the idea of 'adult only weddings'. I am a very family oriented person with kids of my own. They are now adults and we attend weddings as a family, at times, and sometimes, they are invited to weddings on their own, these days. Back when they were kids, unless they were a part of the wedding party, they did not attend weddings with me. I am a firm believer most weddings should be kid free. I bet this bride wishes she would have heard this advice a few months ago.

Obviously, the parents should have taken the child out, but unfortunately, too many parents lack common sense. As a result, this ceremony was ruined and became news. Had the couple not invited children to the wedding, this would have been avoided.

The bride showed tremendous restraint. No blame should be placed on her. It's not that children aren't wonderful blessings. They are. On the other hand, weddings are sometimes long, sacred and quiet and most small kids are unable to sit through that kind of event.

Furthermore, the day is about the married couple. Kids love to run out on the dance floor and get in the middle of the dance circle and make it generally about them. Often, adults have been drinking and that's just not a safe place for small kids.

We can be a society that values children and not have them in every single event and space known to man. It's fine for parents to get a babysitter and enjoy a night out as a couple. It's even fine for parents to decline an invitation if they are unable to get a babysitter. The only time a couple is obligated to allow you to bring your child is if that child is a flower girl or ring bearer. Otherwise, it is their choice. Also, if the couple is kind enough to allow you to bring your child, remove them when they make the first peep. In fact, bring plenty of quiet snacks, books and crayons, and if that doesn't work, slip out the back quietly because you sat in the last pew with a plan to exit if necessary. This is responsible parenting and will ensure you and your family are invited to other occasions.
