If you just have your FI's kids at the wedding, as part of the bridal party (Flower girl/Ring bearer) I don't think anyone else should be upset about it. Does the MOH and BestMan have other family members that won't be attending that can babysit?
People know that members of the bridal party are extra special, and therefore I don't think they get bent out of shape when special exceptions are made for them (ie only those people can bring their kids) If your MOH and best man are allowed to bring their kids, I doubt anybody will feel slighted.
creativeplannertobee the MOH does but Best Man is coming from out of town with wife & their family is not here with them so that is the only concern. He is my FH long time friend.
I don't think there's anything wrong with inviting some children but not others. That's what we're doing--inviting kids we're close to and those for people traveling out of state. Otherwise, not really necessary, in my opinion.
Thanks Babylou, unfortunately most of them are traveling from out of state. I guess I'll just have to accept that people have kids.
wow I'm dealing with this as well while creating my guest list... I would prefer NO KIDS but I of course want my son there and the little flower girl... I can imagine how rude I'd look if just my son whose 6 (he'll be half way to 8 by the time of our wedding) and the flower girl whose 4 (and will have just turned 5 by the time of our wedding) would be allowed... sigh

Sorry, there are no users yet.
This is a difficult one since my Fiance has 2 kids from a previous marriage & they will be in the bridal party. The best man has 2 kids, the MOH has 1 kid. But the killer is with all our guests about 50% are kids for a small guest list of 30. We are leaning towards a restaurant reception at night. It is not very kid friendly. We have had a lot of trouble deciding on our venue due to kids. Some venues want us to pay the same for them which includes alcohol but it has more areas for them to play. Some of the kids I hear are raucous & uncontrollable. That venue, due to their minimum spend required would mean we are paying $216 per kid!
We can't say no to all kids due to us wanting my Fiance's kids there. I thought of explaining that if they weren't his kids & in the bridal party that we wouldn't have any but the Best Man is coming from out of town with his wife & kids. What would they do with them? They might be offended & cancel or just cancel cos of difficulty. If they come too then the MOH should bring hers cos she is also from out of town, even though her brother lives here, then how can I tell everyone else no kids?
