Hello how may I help you? I'm wondering is I have to invite children to my wedding. I have a lot of small nieces and nephews and just don't think it will be the kind of thing I want with them there. You don't have to and can have a complete family reception after to make good. Such a relief! Ok, do I put all this in the invitations? The no kids and family reception later? That would be a good idea so everyone knows. I guess if I put all the information in the invitation there will be no mix ups. Should I do anything special for the kids at the reception? Yes you should have some games or something since they were'nt at the wedding. I can deal with that. Maybe the wedding planner has a list of games and somebody to take care of that. Yes That is another good idea. You should be set now. I appreciate your help. Thanks so much! Have a good wedding ceremony.
