People Are Debating 'No Kids' Policies At Weddings, And Things Got Heated (22 Tweets)

Okay — right out of the gate: I am JudgeyMcJudgerson about no-kids-weddings. I think they’re selfish and myopic and I hate them.

And I’m not the only one at all. A recent tweet went viral on the subject and people had Opinions To Share.

Here are some of the best replies.

1. That’s not how this works, Max

2. Right???

3. Sounds awful

4. They can’t make it

5. Nobody wins, dude. This is not how parenting / babysitting works

6. Time & Place

7. LOL OLOLOLOLLOL FREE????

8. They’re frigging fine.

9. eyeroll

10. Sellllfiiiishhhh

11. That’s not the issue, dude

12. I completely agree

I always find it a massively disrespectful of the family unit when this happens, as well as it being a huge inconvenience all round. A wedding is about bride and groom, but also about your guest experience, that’s why you invite them. It just comes across a pretentious.

13. You wouldn’t have anything to do with them?

If you dislike children and that’s your worst nightmare then you have to be true to yourself if you think you won’t enjoy your day with lots of children there. However, if you plan on having children yourself you might want to apply a more balanced approach.

Sure, that’s fine

15. Regret

42 years ago we went that route, and two of our best friends decided not to come to our wedding. We've regretted it ever since, the more so since we had our own children and realised how we would feel if we got a similar invitation.

16. It’s SO expensive

Flip this. If your such a good friend then you would understand their predicament and allow the child to come. If you don’t, and they don’t come, you don’t regard them as so.
It isn’t free to go to a wedding. Costs a lot over a weekend:

17. People won’t be able to go

Your wedding so its your rules. How would you feel if one of your close family members politely rejected your invitation as they couldn’t bring their child? It works both ways I suppose but then don’t be upset if someone decides not to come because of it

18. Life is short

Yes but why not… Let the kids run and have fun… life is so short, no one will ever remember the kids were there…. but the kids will never forget that they were there ❤️

19. I’m insulted with you

As long as they understand that friends and family with kids may not be able to come without their kids. Personally I’d be insulted.

20. It’s FAMILY

No they are not. This is terrible. Most marriages are to form a family, you know, children. Excluding them is mean and immature.

21. What if you have kids?

22. cheers for this

Feel terrible that I resent their wedding day so much, but you can’t help what you feel. I’d never subject parents of a young baby to having to make that decision. I’d want all my guests to be as happy as possible.
