Weddings without children are becoming more and more popular. However, when we decide to do so, it is often impossible to do without explanations, insults and even real family quarrels. This topic still sparks many discussions. How do our readers see it? They shared their opinions.
Wedding with children? “Never again”
For many people, weddings without children seem to be a good solution. This does not have to involve any special antipathy towards children. The nature of the party itself, as well as whether the children are properly taken care of, are of great importance here. The word “appropriately” is worth emphasizing here.
I was a guest at a wedding with children. Seats were assigned, but when I returned to the table, my seat was occupied by a toddler (Madka next to me). My stuff on the floor. When I pointed out that this was my place, I heard that the little guy wanted to eat here. I stood there, waited, and was left with a dirty plate and jacket on the floor
– wrote one of the commenters.
“I personally can’t imagine going to a wedding with children. Such circumstances are rare, so parents have the right to have fun on their own. Besides, some people drink less, some more, and I would like to spare them such a sight. But someone else’s children don’t bother me either.” – another reader emphasized.

“Without a child, you have a calmer head, you don’t worry about dramas, e.g. that one of the other guests will accidentally step on the child’s foot or hit the child while dancing,” added another. “I think that you have to respect the decisions of the young people. This is their day, not the guests’. And if someone doesn’t want to come, I think that no one will force anyone to come,” another Internet user commented.
One of our readers described her own case. By the way, she shared some golden advice about organizing such a wedding: “We did it without children and no one was offended. But we immediately said that if anyone wants, they can come with their children to the after-party. Because then you know that the atmosphere is different, more relaxed, and even adults only a few drink, because most of them have to return home somehow.”
I was at a wedding where there were children. I would never go to something like that again. Screaming, running around the tables. The head was swelling
– said another commenter.
A wedding without children? “I consider it cruel!
However, not everyone shares these opinions. For many people, weddings are family celebrations, so guests should not be separated, after all, children also belong to the family. However, some people drew attention to children’s behavior, suggesting that today it is slightly different from what others expect. One of the commenters expressed this opinion: “It didn’t used to be like this, because children and their parents were educated.”
I can imagine a wedding without alcohol more than without children. It’s the same as excluding the elderly, disabled or sick because they don’t fit
– another person wrote. “As a child, I remember my cousins’ family weddings and it was very nice. I was very polite and had a great time, I loved dancing. I personally consider it cruel to deprive children of such pleasure!” – commented the reader. If you feel like it, vote in our poll below.
