well am I..?Grin

The thing is they all take things so seriously and I want a fun wedding with lots of shouting in the pews and loud colours worn byt the guests - so AIBU not to invite any adults

Pmsl.

I often wonder what the response would be if someone banned all over 60s from a wedding.

ivykaty44 · 15/04/2011 10:32

well the dads need to be banned just for the stupid silly dance they do at the reception disco Grin

the buffet left-overs would be fab!

piles of crusts and all the crisps gone, and the dance floor would be full, and no need to worry about if you CAN dance or not.

The photos would be really fun too, loads of face-pulling or stroppy faces

Best of all would be the pressies, 14 skipping ropes, a barbie and some colouring books

so YADNBU

go for it!

This sounds better and better!

Grabaspoon · 15/04/2011 10:33

I think you might want to invite a couple of nannies or else make sure no-ones in nappies - that dress won't stay white for long Grin

ivykaty44 · 15/04/2011 10:34

is the an age limit on being a witness at a wedding? Would it be ok to have my twin nephews sign for me and dh to be?

Love it!

"Can everyone join the Bride and Groom on the dance floor for the Cha Cha Slide" Grin

BeakerTheMuppetMuppet · 15/04/2011 10:36

no need for table plans, or chairs for that matter. most kids i've seen at weddings do their utmost to get UNDER the tables

ivykaty44 · 15/04/2011 10:37

we where thinking of playing a few games

pin the tale on the bride

OP posts:
BeakerTheMuppetMuppet · 15/04/2011 10:38

oh yes, games!

skittles with all the empty fruit shoot bottles

ivykaty44 · 15/04/2011 10:39

Pass the parcel with the wedding presents Wink

Brilliant idea....

So many people have weddings where children are excluded...so why not turn the tables?

ivykaty44 · 15/04/2011 11:34

Obviously the bride and groom will be adult in years - though act more like their shoe size Grin

who cares though - at least you know they may be shit presents to start with - adults don't always get the pressie bit right even with a list

OP posts:
MichaelaS · 15/04/2011 11:47

brilliant idea!

but will you do the "you may now kiss the bride" bit to jeers and shouts of "yuck!"?

BeakerTheMuppetMuppet · 15/04/2011 11:50

Grin @ MichaelaS

but what if someone doesn't want to give up their present?

and would you do party bags?

lalabaloo · 15/04/2011 12:23

Hehe I was suprised to find there is no age limit (upper or lower) for witnesses as long as they understand what marriage is! I think they usually think about 6 or 7 year olds would be able to understand, but it depends on the child! I wish I had thought of a kids only wedding, it sounds great! I love pass the parcel, and as you are the Bride you can have a tantrum and get all the good presents! Don't forget bubbles!!

lesley33 · 15/04/2011 14:05

YABVVU I want to go to a wedding where I can shout out, run around and play pass the parcel! Much better than polite chatter as you wait for those interminable phtos.

GloriaSmut · 15/04/2011 14:06

Tsk! Tsk! There'd be tears before bedtime, y'know.

raffle · 15/04/2011 14:10

No slow dances, just lots of skidding up and down the dance floor on your knees, have a wonderful day

Meglet · 15/04/2011 14:11

yanbu!

So much more fun than stuffy adults getting tipsy. All the boys would be skidding across the dancefoor on their knees.

Cakes and crisps for everyone Grin.

PeachyAndTheArghoNauts · 15/04/2011 14:14

YADNBU

Sounds like my idea of fun tbh

You can have a sweetie buffet; read about them and often felt Envy of anyone who has one

And jelly and ice cream.

LMAO at Michaela and cries of yuck!

confuddledDOTcom · 15/04/2011 14:27

I've considered not directly inviting anyone to my wedding and just saying "this is the date and details RSVP if you actually want to go" and opening it up to a couple of forums (including MN of course) and Facebook where I know people actually do want to go! Fed up with the negativity.

I love the idea of children only, my 4 year old is acting as my wedding planner, she's actually pretty good at it if you want some help?
