A lot of my client, at the earlier stage of the planning says to me - Children are not invited to our wedding/event and I would just nod and listen. 10 out of 10, there will be a toddler or two present eventually at the wedding reception. No matter how hard we try, chances are the guests really couldn't get a baby-sitter. If you are okay with children present at your reception, then this shouldn't be an issue. But sometimes, other guests gets put off with screaming babies or kids running around while they're trying to listen to the speeches. So what can you do?
There are two ways of dealing with this issue. 1) You can politely tell your guest that you're not having any children at your reception and that may just cost you a friendship or two with this stance. Or 2) Prepare an area or a playroom for the children. Yes it will add to the cost but the parents will be ever so grateful to you for allowing them to bring their young ones and they can also keep an eye on their children while having a great time at your wedding. Ensure that there is a child-minder or babysitter present at the playroom, filled with finger food and drinks, crafts for them to create, hire a clown even just to keep them entertain. The extra cost will commensurate the outcome - it keeps you sane from screaming children around, get the 'kid-free' reception that you want and friends who will remember your kind gesture. It's a win-win situation!
