    Innocent So i have several babies in my close nit family.. I love them dearly and would give them my kidney ifi had to... My Venue is tiny holds 100 people thats to include the guy who cleans the lady who owns the place everyone.. so i cant go over or its a fire hazard and fine of god knows how much.. So due to the solution i chose to try to cut down the list and not have any children at the wedding.. My BM's have kids under 2 and my MOH as well .. i guess she thought it sweet to try to add them to the bridal party which would bring me to 3 flower girls and 3 ring barrers .. I was like woe... how you you stand firm on the no children at the wedding and im not having a swarm of ring barers.. LOL.. i would love them there but the space eek and i know at 2 years old kids get bored.. id die if my nephew or niece knock over my cake or my canndy buffet .. HELP !!!!

    Just tell her you're sorry, due to space issues you can't have kids at the wedding.

    Just tell her that it's not possible to have kids at the wedding. It really wouldn't be right to let some people bring kids and not let others...I'd just say you really don't have room for kids at the wedding - hopefully she'll understand!

    Explain that while you love her kids to pieces, you can only accommodate 100 people and you aren't inviting kids to the wedding.  I'm sure she'll understand.

    Yep - be firm with her. No kids, no exceptions. You have a built in excuse: size constraints.

    If she's concerned about what to do with her kids during the wedding, consider hiring a babysitter (or 2) to watch kids of close family and the wedding party at a nearby home.
