To have children or not to have children

[KingdomHearts]

I realize that we have posted this before BUT I need some help. Yes I know we are having a Disney wedding therefore it makes sense to invite the children the problem being all of my cousins (10 of them who are older and married) have had a litter of children ( a min of 4 kids each). I love kids and I look forward to having my own one day BUT these kids are completely OUT OF CONTROL and all I can envision is the cake hitting the floor and one of the monsters will be to blame. I don't mean to be harsh but seriously I do not like my cousins first of all but you HAVE to invite them. Secondly they are the kind of parents who encourage the children to behave poorly. In fact they think its funny when the children are destructive.

I need any input possible. What do you think we should do?

Let me start off by saying that this is YOUR wedding, and no one elses. You are the one paying and planning it! I am a believer that in todays world you do not have to follow any code or invite people just because they are family, especially since you said they are out of control! If you really feel like you have to invite them I would call them and lay down the law! About what is the right behavior you want at your wedding. Also I would let your wedding planner aware of the situation and set up a plan if you or she sees anything that they are doing that you dont like. Mabye have a kid corner in your reception, set up with coloring books, or games or something to keep them distracted. It is your day and you dont want any added stress on it! Good luck!

The only kids I am having are my ring bearers and my flower girl... Thats it... and I dont want kids... I dont like seeing kids run around during a reception... and I love kids I work with 2nd graders but I just dont like them running around and acting silly esp. in a formal setting... GL to you in whichever you choose....
