Do I have to invite people’s children if I’m having an under 50 person wedding that is a daytime brunch? Would be on a Saturday. Thank you for your thoughts in advance 🫡

You don’t have to invite children no matter the circumstances. It is your wedding.

I had a strict no children rule at my wedding in June despite having many children in my (and my husband’s) family. We got some pushback (unsurprisingly) but didn’t cave. It only deterred four guests (out of 150 invites). Everyone else somehow “made it work.” Enjoy your day EXACTLY as you want it! :)

I don't know why people want to bring their kids anyways...although I totally understand that not everyone has the privilege of a babysitter. Long events like a wedding are not fun for your kids. They are usually miserable & don't want to be there anyways. If someone truly can't make it because of this, that sucks but its your wedding at the end of the day. My wedding will def be kid free

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night. I was reading it out loud while my fiancé made dinner, and it just hit me that this is really happening. I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)

Anyone unsure of what to do for bridesmaids “proposals?” I want them to get excited and feel special but when I see how much money I’d be spending on things like custom totes or mugs I’m like is it really worth it?
