    I was worried that having all our little nieces and nephews at our wedding would be more of a hustle than anything else, and I'm here to tell you how wrong I was :) I should really give props to the wonderful photographers at Lux (http://luxphotos.com) to have captured the great memories.

    Oh no! No children at my wedding! They are cute and all, but too much trouble. I want everything to go smoothly. do you think it is rude to ask people not to bring children?

    So adorable! We are going have three flower girls and two ring bearers (and talked them into wearing kilts!) I can remember being very young and going to weddings with my cousins and just having the time of our lives.  I understand why some people prefer an adult only reception, and that's ok, It's a very personal choice, I just know that I enjoy the unpredictability and humor that children bring.

    From a photographer's point of view children bring emotion and life to the shoot like no adult can. I'd like to thank everybody (and especially Anika) for the kind words. We try our best.

    We had our kids in the wedding and everything went smoothly. No problems with any kids at all and they all loved the kids table we did. Our son was the ringbearer and we got great pics of him walking down the aisle afterwards.

    They are adorable.  We had a ring bearer (7) and a flower girl (4) who we feared from the moment we asked them would terrorize the ceremony.  They were angels! I was so suprised how well behaved they were.  I know our photographer got great pictures of them, and I can't wait to see them.

    They were great at the reception too, dancing it up and convincing others to do the same!

    When we made our *complete* guest list, it was 250 and 75 kids!!!  What can I say? We both have huge families and lots of friends with children.  We plan of having a whole area for the children with games, bubbles, activities, etc.  I hope we can get some pics as great as the ones here!

    Dear Querida, your wedding sounds like it will be a blast for the little ones as well. Hope the photographer you've picked will be able to deal with the joyous madness :)

    OMG, those photos are so cute! Honestly, I wish we were going to have more kids at our wedding. But we're close to the oldest cousins in our families, so not many of our relatives have kids yet. Kids at weddings are a blessing! :  wedding lux photos baby photography Icon Sad

    Adorable!!  Sadly we had to limit the number of kids just to save costs, but I'm excited for the ones who will be able to make it!  I hope our photographers will be able to snag some cute pictures like these.

    So cute! We're going to have a lot of kids at our wedding/reception. Two of them are flower girls. We both love kids and we both have a bunch of neices and nephews. I'm kind of thinking of having a table set up for kids activities: paper tablecloth they can draw on, wedding-themed coloring pages, crayons, stickers, and kid friendly snacks-goldfish, raisins, juiceboxes, etc.

    VERY cute pictures but I am not convinced about the kids at a wedding being a great idea just yet!

    I think it kinda depends on the children and how they act. I'm hoping all the kids that come to our reception are decent acting. Oh well, if not, hopefully I wont notice at least!!

    Those pictures are precious!!! Absolutely precious!

    I have two kids of my own and half my wedding party have children as well or ARE part of the wedding party. In addition, I have a huge family where it is custom to bring everyone to a celebration. Frankly, if I said "no children" I think a lot of people would not come because they would be so offended. We are having kid baskets for all of them with coloring books, crayons, bubbles, glow sticks and whatever else I can find once I know exactly who is coming. I want to add something gender related like maybe little cars for the boys and makeup kits for the girls or something.

    I can tell you one of my favorite pictures from my childhood was when I was about 8 yrs old at my second cousin's wedding (my dad is one of the oldests) dancing with my baby cousin. At least, I was dancing and he was asleep. :)

    Those are cute pictures, but I'm not convinced that cuteness automatically makes them a blessing. Personally, I've seen kids be perfectly adorable but still wreck havoc.

    That said, they ARE really adorable, and I know that sometimes kids make the best wedding memories. =)

    Those pics are ADORABLE!  The only kids we're inviting to our wedding are in our wedding (my niece and nephews, and his nephew).

    Awww. At first when I began my planning, I just really hoped that these two little boys (They're very very bad -will leave their story un-mentioned for privacy) would NOT come. I cannot stand them.

    Now that I'm closer to the date, I'm kind of torn. I really think kids do make wonderful pictures and memories, but they're really a handful. 

    Plus, most of the parents do not even want their children at the wedding. They just want to have fun all night. Our ring bearer and flower girl are both being watched over by sitters and taken home right after the ceremony.

    too cute! And they'll remember it for a long time too... I can still remember the family weddings my sister i are were in when we were kids, its so nice to include them and make them feel special and 'grown up' for a day.

    yes, I cannot imagine my wedding without my cute little baby niece; all my nephews and nieces are coming; it'll add some happy laughter in the air; I am having a kids table set up in the adjacent room where they can run around, color in books an dplay with toys; their moms and dads have to look afetr them..I'm not hiring a babysitter; it's like a house party you dont have babysitters at a house party

     

    just have to make sure the cake is faraway from their little hands

    Oh my GOSH the pic of the ring bearer and flower girl dancing is the cutest thing I've ever seen!

    Angee524 - your son is PRECIOUS! Those pictures are just delightful!

    We don't have a lot of kids that will be present at our wedding, just my FI's niece and nephews (one of the boys will be 5 1/2 and he will be the ringbearer, and the niece will be 3 1/2 at the time of our wedding and she will be the flowergirl) I cannot WAIT to get tons of adorable pictures of them!
