Should You Invite Children to Your Wedding?

When planning your dream wedding, an important decision is to include children on the guest list. While little ones hold a special place in our hearts, opting for an adult-only affair can have numerous advantages.



Some Examples: How to Word Invitations if Children are not Permitted

"Adults Only: We kindly request that our wedding be attended by adults only, as much as we DO love your kids. Thank you for being so understanding."


"Please Note: Our wedding is an adults-only event. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to sharing our special day!"


"No Children, Please!: We kindly ask that our wedding night is a child-free occasion!


Advantages of Keeping the Little Ones at Home

1. It allows for a more sophisticated and elegant atmosphere, where adults can fully immerse themselves in the celebration without worrying about children's needs.


2. An adult-focused wedding ensures a quieter ambiance, creating an environment conducive to heartfelt conversations and meaningful connections among guests.


3. Without the presence of children, you can freely incorporate activities, music, entertainment, and beverages that cater exclusively to the preferences and enjoyment of adult attendees.

By making this choice, you can prioritize a memorable, romantic, and truly grown-up experience for you and your beloved guests on your special day!


Ways to Keep Children Entertained On Your Special Day

1. Create A Kid's Corner or Room: Create a cozy designated area with age-appropriate toys, games, and activities to keep children entertained throughout the wedding. Consider including coloring books, building blocks, puzzles, and interactive games to engage their creativity and keep them occupied.


2. Plan Outdoor Games: Arrange outdoor games suitable for children, such as a sack race, corn hole, or scavenger hunt. This allows them to burn off energy and have fun while enjoying the fresh air and open space.


3. Hire a Professional Children's Entertainer: Bring in a professional entertainer specifically trained in engaging children, such as a magician, clown, storyteller, etc. Their interactive performances and engaging activities will captivate the kids and provide entertainment tailored to their age group.
