then don’t come. Or get a babysitter at the hotel. If the seating is limited to 50-75 then I’m sure the couple would prefer to fill the seats with more friends and relatives than little kids they don’t know

Got married in ‘99. We arranged for a babysitter at the hotel near the reception for those that wanted to bring their kids. Worked out fine
Little kids can be a major cockblock for one of the chief functions of the wedding: all the hookup action that can happen.
Anti-Kid Sentiment Hurts My Feelings wrote:
So the princess of the family is getting married. Everyone has always done what she wants. She makes a ton of money and her fiancé is east coast old rich who makes way less than her but of course is waiting for his family estate. She has had 6-7 events leading up to the wedding and it’s really getting exhausting. I will definitely go to the wedding because she is my family but I felt bad when she told me I am not allowed to bring my 3 year old son to the wedding. My son is not misbehaved and she likes hanging out with him the few times we do hang out. She is saying no one can bring kids so she is not discriminating only against my son. However, the wedding ceremony is at 2 pm and then the reception is at 6 pm which means we need to find a baby sitter for 8+ hours on a Saturday.
Is it normal to ask guests to NOT bring kids? I’ve heard mixed results from people. Some people say “oh yeah, kids ruin everything.” To “weddings are family events and it’s totally normal to have all ages.”
It puts a burden on parents to find a sitter for that long.
my plan was to attend part of the wedding, the ceremony, and skip the reception but I would be committing suicide with them because they would get pissed and call me selfish that I am not 100% supporting her. they came to my wedding so I definitely feel like I owe them too. I also don’t like that it’s a pattern: they invited us to their cocktail engagement party but told all the guests not to bring kids. We went and had an ok time and thought it was odd, but we did what they told us to do. I thought ok for an engagement party I can see how they just want adults. Now for the wedding they are telling us not to bring our kid.
i am slightly offended and contemplating pissing them off by not going to the reception solely because they are excluding my kid. But that would cause a lot of stress.
or just F it. just go and deal with it.
TLDR: wedding is not allowing kids to any of the events. Is that normal? Or is it normal to have kids at weddings?
In Europe, kids are an integral part of the wedding - it's considered first and foremost a family event. It would be completely shocking and horrible form not to invite them. Few would come, and you'd be considered a complete a-hole stipulate this kind of thing.
'From my European perspective, the idea that one should 'get a babysitter' isn't okay either - you'll be in a place usually you're not familiar with. Entrusting little kids to someone you don't know anything about for a day isnt going to happen for most responsible parents.
Bring your kids, but here is THE key part, you need those kids to rehearse some lines and nail the timing.
When the bride is walking down the isle nudge your kid and have them say some line like "She looks like a Princess!" or something reasonably child like but complimentary of the bride. Be sure to time this right, and make it loud enough for it to make it on the video! This is live action, there are no re-takes.
You will get to triple down on the day. 1) your kid will be the focus, not the bride. 2) The bride will have to apologize for saying no kids because yours "made the wedding something very special". 3) you could get 24 hrs of internet fame.
Remember: Plan, Rehearse, Execute!
