We tried to keep it to immediate family kids only but somehow an extra kid has popped up in our guest list!
We are now at three under 3 years old, a 4 year old, a 5 year old and a 12 year old cousin I have never met in my life (she will be staying with her grandad- my uncle - when the wedding is on so they have to bring her along too).
I am thinking of doing a little activity bag for them except for the 12 year old, she can be entertained by adults I think.
i think our final kid count came to 16. our whole list is 50 so 1/3 of our list is kids lol. we come from a big family where everyone has kids and since we were already including several kids in the wedding we decided to include all the kids. i dont look at it as holy crap its a lot of kids i look at it as $12 a plate instead of $22 lol
@cr6zy: That is a good way of looking at it! My kids meals are $30 inc drinks but my two nephews would be happier with a plate of hot chips and tomato sauce each!
Oooh but I can't wait to see the little people out on the dance floor!
our kids means are chicken fingers, fries and drinks. i still think 12 bucks is high for some chicken fingers but its better than $22 for some noodles lmao. i know all the kids will be adorable. ii told the parents to dress nice but to make the little ones super dressed up so the pictures will look great. my 2 year old already tears up a room dancing!
We will have around 22 kids under 15 year old, some are twins.. We're doing buffet so I just need to adjust some meals to be kids friendly. I am just a little bit concerned because our reception venue will be by the pool, I really hope the kids will not jump to the pool (I haven't thought about it when we agreed to use the venue!), I know it's awful but I think I have enough time to figure it out till the wedding...
@peppy: Zip, zero, not a darn one, and that's just the way I want it ;)
We're having 13...they eat for free from our caterer (yay!) so the more the merrier. I've had the most fun designing the kids table (chalkboard tablecloth, giant mr potato head, giant playdoh cans, pinwheels, lollipop flower arrangements) that the kids table might be nicer than all the rest! :-)
So far from our preliminary list we have around 30 kids coming, 3 will be over 10yrs old. Were doing kids activity books and renting one of those ball pen for them, and us hihi
it depends on what you mean by kids. As in little kids? 2. The ring bearer and flower girl. They will probably leave before the reception starts though. We're having an adults only reception though. I think the youngest will be 12 though.
I think there will probably just be one 6 year old! None of my friends/family have kids right now, except my FSIL. He will probably be a bit bored but he's kinda used to being the only kid at family gatherings so I think he'll be fine.
We have exactly one three-year-old coming and no other children. It just kind of happened.
There are 20 small (mostly under 5) children attached to our wedding guests. None are relatives. They're all children of friends. None of them are invited to the wedding (though I suspect one is going to be snuck in, which is annoying, but not a big deal). 9 of them are coming to either our "rehearsal" bbq the night before and/or brunch the next day.
I'll have between 10-20 at mine, but it's an outdoor BBQ reception. I'm starting to make a big activitiy chest now... hopefully it will be chock full by then!
there are 40 kids on our list...yes..40. out of 120 guests. and im talking like 12 and under. Obviously, i dont know how many are going to actually come yet, im still aways out.
We're going to invite 25 or so. We're only inviting small children from out of town, since it would be difficult on the parents to make arrangements for a whole weekend. The vast majority of them are family, but there are seven or eight children of friends. It would be nice to save costs by not having all them, but FI and I both love kids, and we'll be happy that they're there.
@Lee_Ann: we've got around 40 on our list, also!!! With closer to 200 guests, total.
I seriously doubt ALL will be coming, though.
The absolute minimum is 7 and they're all family, too. Pretty sure others will be brining their kids, but until we get RSVP's back next year (not sending them out just yet), we won't know for certain.
3 kids will be there total, and all 3 are in the wedding. 2 of the kids are mine(ages 2 and 4) and the third is my little cousin who is 4. Besides those 3 my reception is an ADULT only reception.
We have 260 invited guest - 65 of them kids! I love it!
2 kids. one is going to be 15 months old by then, and the other one will be 12.
My nephew who will be 6, my brother who will be 14, and my step sister who will b 17. Thats it! And they are all in my BP.
@Lee_Ann: hey twin date!!!
@Zinzerena: & @Lee_Ann: I'm glad I'm not the only one with alot of kids. What are you planning to do for them (if you are doing anything)
We will have 6 neices and nephews there. I plan on entertaining them with a toy/game in place of a centrepiece at their table, and with some activity books or cardboard dress-up dolls.
Like pps, I'm also seeing their £20/head (adults £63/head) as a bonus!
*just to clarify we're not spending £63/head on catering! The per-person includes room hire, ceremony, decor, food, drink and evening party!
We're at 22 kids right now (out of 145 guests), which is all family and bridal party children. Our venue restricts children 3 and under (due to not having high chairs and changing table stations), which has actually been a great "out" with those families/parents. We'll probably have closer to 175-200 guests but I don't think any more than the 22 that have already RSVP'd will be children. Most of the children are 10 and over with just a few 5-year olds.
@couawilou: ive never been to a wedding that had kid activities, they kids just always did their own thing/danced/whatever. but i think i might do something, but i have no clue, maybe a table set up with activity books and stuff.
my grandma had 7 kids, who now are having grandkids, so we have a lot of little ones there. FI on other hand, his cousins are the ones having big familes, 3 of them have 5 kids apiece. Really, i hope mostly everyone comes, because his family doesn't get together that often, so it will be nice having everyone together. my family gets together all the time, so i know they will all be there.
2, tops. And that's only if FSIL (and also a bridesmaid) decides she wants her two young kids there.
@couawilou: Our wedding is at a cabin resort-type place and the kids will be able to run around and have fun.
We'll hopefully have things they can play with (inflatable swords or foam swords, bubbles, etc). It'll be interesting to see how many parents come without the kids and how many come WITH their kids!
The ones traveling and staying over night will probably bring 'em, the ones local will probably come without 'em and use the wedding as a "date night". That just a guess, though.....
None, except my own brother who is 12 years younger than me , he is 14. We are getting married in Vegas so it really isnt appropriate for kids and the people with kids are using this time to be alone without the kids and enjoy our wedding without having to look after them.
Let's see...we had my 5 month old and 5 year old nephew, 3 year old niece, and 6 year old cousins as ring bearers and flower girls. My 4 year old cousin came, there was also our 7 month old cousin and 12 year old cousin. That was all for kids (ages they were at the time of the wedding). Honestly, I didn't want any kids but the ones in the wedding, and it turned out fine with the other ones there. They all had a blast, and our baby ring bearer fell asleep throughout most of the reception and slept in his carrier on the stage most of the night, even with all the music and everything. Can you tell he has 2 load older siblings?
We said on our invitation 'An Adult Occasion', and it was pretty obvious on the invites that no kids were invited, but 4 kids managed to show up at the wedding. No big. Honestly, I was worried about one throwing a fit during the ceremony, but I didn't even notice they were there.
Our son will be at the biginning of the reception to be announced as part of the bridal party. He is also will dance the last part of our first dance with us, and maybe eat but then he has to go. I dont like kids at receptions, I dont think its a place for them, so our son will be there part of the time and then he will be going to a sitter, leaving no children at the reception.
We had two 3-year-olds and two 4-year-olds. So 4 kids total and they were adorable!
There were about a dozen. From a newborn who didn't stir the entire time to a 13 year old that can hardly be considered a kid.
Well if the people we invite DO bring their kids it might be 20 or 30. And I dont mind. Im actually excited.
I already DIY'd a kids activity book and plan on putting that, stickers, crayons, glow in the dark bracelets and necklaces, and whatever else I can think in the bag. If the kids do come I dont want them to get bored.
Oh and here are the bags and tissue paper I would like to use. Not sure though if the plum color goes with the gold tissue color. Let me know what u think please!!!!
27, only family, but Im considering inviting the familes we go camping with since my son is 12, we have a huge kid room and will set up video games and tvs to watch dvds. but our guest list is 220 already... and thats a downgrade from 300 which didn't include these families originally.
We are having 18 children if all are coming. Kids 13 and under are only $9 a meal, which is reasonable. I'm not planning on having any kids activity booklets or bags or anything. My ceremony is gonna be fast and straight to the point and my reception is going to be food and dancing. Kids love dancing and acting like fools. I just saw pictures of 4 of the kids invited and they were on the floor at another wedding attempting to break dance! hahaah
We'll have about 10-15 there (total guest list is 60ish, so about a sixth to a quarter of the guest list will be kids -- 8-10 under 10 years old, half of which will be younger than five). Sigh. We can't do a childless wedding (he wants his cousins there), but from what I've seen of them they're not the most well-behaved lot. I'm dreading crying/screaming/iPad movies during the ceremony, and broken decorations at the reception. : /
Our wedding is 200 people-ish, and I have 24 guests 13 and under. We're feeding them hamburgers/hotdogs (our main menu is steak BBQ) for $12.95 each, and I have $5 each loot bags with a colouring book, crayons, a rubber duck, a stuffed animal, a chinese yoyo and some bracelets.
