When it comes to weddings, many people choose to have no children there. Some individuals believe that children can totally ruin a wedding.
Despite having kids in their family that they know and love, some people want their day to be child-free and easy. Plus, some weddings run pretty late into the evening, too. No parent wants to deal with kids who had no sleep the night before.
Couples feel as though there are times when kids can ruin a wedding entirely. Kids can get bored during sentimental parts, like the ceremony, and cause a scene and totally ruin it.
While some may understand why couples do not want to have kids at their wedding, others get angry and offended when their kids are not invited to a wedding.
Alice shared online that she was going to get "slated" for their opinion but, shared that people are "perfectly entitled" to request that no children attend their wedding.
Many online pointed out that weddings are planned and given notice so far in advance, it's really impossible for someone to not find a babysitter or a family member to watch their kids.
Another Twitter user shared that being at social events with their own nieces and nephews clearly shows and proves that they can not act accordingly.
Missy shared that if someone doesn't want kids at their wedding, it doesn't make them anti-children. There are just some places kids shouldn't come or be welcome, and weddings are oftentimes one of those places.
Another Twitter user shared that so often, kids are bored out of their minds at weddings. They get pretty tired listening to speeches and sitting through the ceremony. Plus, parents deserve a night away from their kids sometimes.
One person said that she remembers having a kid-free wedding and some very important people did not attend due to this. Now, having kids of their own, they wish they did things differently.
Sarah shared that if you were close with someone, close enough to invite them to your wedding, you should probably invite their children or understand why they won't want to come.
While guests may slightly remember a wedding, but maybe not because they go to so many weddings over the years, kids will never forget the special day to dress up and be included.
While kids can be a lot, if you have nieces and nephews, many were wondering how you can just not include them and leave them out of your special day.
The best way to learn how to behave is to be taught through modeling. If kids do not attend weddings and social gatherings like that, they may never know how to properly behave in them in the first place.
