[QUOTE="donna723, post: 459494, member: 1883"] I could see not inviting the children if it's something like a co-workers wedding or the bosses daughter, etc., where they don't even know your children. But if it's a family wedding, I can't even imagine not having the children there! I would hope that the parents had enough sense to handle infants or very small kids and would not allow them to disrupt the ceremony, and for them it might be better to get a sitter. But for most kids who are a little older, getting all dressed up and going to a family wedding is an exciting adventure and I certainly would not want to exclude teenaged relatives either. I still remember going to my uncles wedding when I was about 4 or 5 and the whole family was there and we had so much fun! My daughter and sister in law had a small formal church wedding, mostly family and close friends and they were very anxious to include her two younger cousins. The 12 year old was in charge of cutting and serving the cake - she was so honored and she did a lovely job. And the 10-year "special needs" cousin was the ring bearer. They knew he might mess up but they didn't care because they both love him so much and wanted him to be a part of it. He practiced for weeks, and was so proud of himself! Maybe a little too informal for some but it was all very lovely and very meaningful. [/QUOTE]
