I recommend having a 'kids only' room if you have the space (or it can be done in a hotel room). Bring in pizza, movies and games for them. You can put an ad on sittercity.com or cares.com for a couple cheap sitters. That way they're out of your hair, the kids are happy, and the parents can celebrate your wedding sans kids.
@Ashley_B: I know we're doing a word search/crossword on the back of our programs for this reason. We're also doing a wedding activity book and have a cornhole board for the reception. There are lots of great threads around here for keeping little hoodlums angels occupied
Thats a great ideal, but its a small hall, and doesnt have an extra room/space. And is it rude to expect that they should just behave? When I was little (5-10) I went to many weddings and i had to be on my best behaviour, and weddings never had special rooms for kids!
And another question, if a guests kid decides to throw a fit/cause a fuss, is it out of line for me (the bride!!!) to say something? That was more my question all along. 
@Ashley_B: is it wrong for you to say something when a kid is acting out of line....well no, but should you, no.
Hopefully you wont be paying enough attention to notice those little annoyances and parents can be kindly reminded/instructed (Maybe through the Program?) to leave if any child becomes fussy or agitated during any part of the ceremony.
I dont have kids, but put yourself in the parents' shoes, and think how you might want to be approached about your "devil child." lol
Best of Luck to you!
AHhhh I have this same problem. I am the youngest cousin, soooo allll my cousins have kids. and our wedding is out of town for everyone. so my suggestion was to have a room for the kids with pizza, movies, games ect... my dad thought that was rude and said no... soooo.. kids are invited..... makes me nervous!
@Ashley_B: DO you mean say something to the child or the parent?
If it is a niece or nephew that you’re close to, often babysit, and would usually reprimand when you were together, then I would say that yes you could tell them off if they were misbehaving. However, if you’re not that close to these children / their parents and you would not usually get involved in their behaviour management, then you can’t start having a say just because it is your wedding.
I'm sure that there will be so much happening that you really won't even notice! Don't worry about it!

Since I've been planning my wedding and making my guest list, and I've thought of a problem that may occure on my wedding day! Kids are going to come, because many people have to travel to come, and to be honest, I dont mind kids and my fiancees little brother and sister are 13 and 7. When I mean kids though, its a select few who come to mind. They can be very fussy, the parents let them do whatever and seldom listen to other parents and adults.
What should I do if this happens? Can I say something because its my wedding day?
Im probley putting to much stress into it, but I have seen them throw tantrums and its not pretty!
Thanks!
