- No Children? -

Posted on November 25, 2008


Randy nor I want children at our wedding. I think they are loud, touchy, and likely to misbehave, but I know that it's offensive to a lot of parents to not invite their kids. Like Holly said that if I didn't put Lexi's name on the invitation that she would be offended and wouldn't come to the wedding. Holly has a really weird relationship to her child so maybe she is the only one who feels this way, but in case she isn't I've been researching other alternatives. So I got an idea on a message board today. This woman sent out invites to the parents for the wedding then sent out a different invite to the child themselves inviting them to their own "wedding party". She hired or brought along an adult and 2 teenagers and rented a room close to the reception site and had pizza and candy and movies and activities for the kids to participate in while the parents where at the wedding. I think this is a great compromise. I could spend about 300 bucks max and keep kids away from my cake and out of other guest hair while still seeming courtious and clever. I love this idea! Now to find the venue and a location close to it.

Callie had them at hers hanging on the trees. I'd like to have them lighting a walk way if at all possible. I wonder where you find blue mason jars... hm.

Well, I found them on EBAY but they are somewhere between 1-3 dollars each which isn't bad, but the shipping will kill you. Blah. I'll start looking around antique shops and yard sales. Maybe I can find a few here and there and end up with quite a collection before the big day.
