I don't think it's rude, but I'm also of the no kids at weddings camp. Did you invite the kids to the wedding? If not, I'd just say that you want to keep the rehersal dinner, like the wedding, adults only and only have the kids in the bridal party there. As long as no one else is bringing their kids it shouldn't be a problem. Even if you did invite them to the wedding, you can tell them that you want to keep the rehersal dinner intimate and special and only want the bridal party and their SOs there. I don't see anything wrong with it at all.
The wedding is adult-only... the only kids around will be the bridal party kids at the rehearsal dinner.
Thanks for your feedback!!
@lizzie2211: I just would like to comment that for people who you want to attend both, are more than likely people who have spent a lot of money for your wedding already, and now you're asking for them to get a baby sitter 2 nights in a row too. Hmmm...I would be a little upset.
Anybody who has kids in our bridal party have grandparents in town, so I don't think that should be an issue... I get it though.

Some advice needed....
Someone in the bridal party has asked if they can bring their young children to the rehearsal dinner. It's casual- BBQ at a park. There will be other kids there, but they are our ringbearer and flowergirls.
I just feel like if we say yes, it's opening pandora's box for other people to bring their kids. And not to sound like a complete jerk, but I don't want their kids there- that's why we didn't invite them in the first place. I really want our rehearsal dinner to be a special evening with our closest people and not have to be distracted by other peoples' kids running around.
Is this rude? Am I being a jerk?
