Currently in the process of drafting our wedding invites and i need help!!!!!
Very controversial - but I simply don't want YOUNG children at my wedding. When i say young, i mean children who are not in control of their behaviour (such as crying, making noise) still during the most important events of our wedding day such as the ceremony and speeches.
We have a family member that is 13 years old who technically is a child, but we are inviting to our day. Along with some other family friends who have children who are around the same age. But for these 'children' I'm not worried about them because they simply are all well behaved and i know during them most exciting times they will be quiet.
I have other family members with young children from the ages of 2-5 who presume they are invited but how can i put it politely i don't want a small chance of a screaming baby or child saying mummy 3000 times during any of the speeches.
I feel a hypocrite for inviting these certain children over 12, but not my closer family members children who are under 12.
Any help would be great of how i can politely word this!
