| No. kids under 5 unless they are in the bridal party should not attend a wedding reception. tell your guests to find a babysitter |

| are you inviting people with kids or are you the person who is brining kids? At our wedding reception we had people tell us if they were brining kids. So they'd reserve 2 spots for themselves, and then they put a note "plus a 4 year old and a 2 year old" kind of thing.Then there will be enough space for them, and there will be appropriate food for them.I also want to add that you should make sure it is a kid-friendly reception before you bring your 3 year old. (if your'e doing the brining) , and if the 3 year old is being brought and you don't mind, then that's ok, but if you do mind, maybe tell your guests that you don't think a wedding reception is appropriate for kids?My reception was kid-friendly but I've been to weddings where there were kids at a non-kid-friendly environment and it just didn't work out tha twell. |

| You should allow them to come, unless the parents decide not to. Ask the parents if they want to hold them on their laps. If not, then they should have a chair, unless you want them running around while the cake is being cut... |

| You never have to include anyone and it's perfectly acceptable to ask that children under that age of 3 (or whatever your cut off age), not attend. I would only invite children to my wedding, who were my own children and/or my nieces and nephews. But, that's just because I only want children who are close to me and my Fi at our wedding. It's just too chaotic to invite children that young. I would never assume a child would sit on their parents lap. I think that's rude towards the child and the parent; as well as a little bit classless. You should have a chair for each person, regardless of age. Therefore, if you do include children 2+, put them in a normal chair and/or ask for a toddler high chair or boaster seat. For children younger than 2, make sure a high chair is made available. If they can't sit in the high chair, then they are too young to come at all, IMO.Some parents will have their children sit on their lap. But, as I said, I would never assume that. I would make a seating for that child available. If the parent decides otherwise, that's their own choice. But, I made the situation as comfortable as possible by providing their child seating. |

| Do what you want. If you like kids and want to include them, invite them. Be ready for screaming kids though, only invite them if you are willing to deal with the issues. It is perfectly reasonable to refuse kids though. Many parents wouldn't want to bring a young child even if they were invited. Some may get a little huffy, but if they don't want to get a babysitter they stay at home.ADDITION: They children will most definitely need a seat. Everyone will be happier if they aren't forced into their parents laps. |
