A childless wedding?

[happilyeverafter]

Getting married soon, have done a guestlist for reception and room is already up to capacity.

If we invite children it's going to add 32 under fives! Is it ok to just invite friends/family and not their kids?

The idea of that many kids is scary although DF pointed out that since it's just the evening reception (only our parents at ceremony)then some wouldn't bring them anyway.

Would you be offended at kids not being invited? Mine will be there and so will godsons and baby nephew although they will be packed off home around 9pm.

Not many people would be expecting a invite for their children to an evening reception IMHO - frankly I would much rather go without DD and have a good time with DH. When we got married we enclosed a littel notes with all the invies to friends with kids saying that at the moment we weren't including kids, but if that meant they weren't able to come due to babysitting/logistical difficulties, then please let us know, and we would sort it because we wanted to see them there. As it happened we didn't have to have any kids there, because everyone contacted us and said they didn't want to bring their children anyway!! There weren't any bf mothers amongst the group, as that would have been the most difficult, but nearly everyone who attended had to spend a night away from home because of where the wedding was.
