Adults Only or Kids Allowed?

When debating whether or not to have children at the celebration of your wedding, it’s important to consider family dynamics, wedding guests and the desired degree of formalness for the reception. For some couples the decision is easy, but it can also be a delicate subject for some.

CONSIDER FAMILY DYNAMICS, TIME OF DAY, LOCATION AND FORMALNESS!

If your family gatherings are packed with little ones then it maybe you can’t imagine your big day without them. If your wedding will be mostly friends and adults looking to party into the night, it might warrant the call for an adults-only celebration.

When it comes to formalness, if you’re hosting a black tie wedding reception that starts in the evening, then children would be better left out of the equation. On the other hand, if it’s a daytime wedding with a more casual vibe, kids tend to be the life of the party! Just remember to have fun activities, appropriate menu options and possibly hired supervision to keep them safe and entertained.
