Episode Details

Aaaah, kids; on one hand, they can be cute, while on the other hand, they can be a massive distraction. So how are you going to work out which children (if any) are invited to your wedding? 

If you’re planning an adults-only wedding, you might be shocked at how some parents will take your decision as a personal affront. 

It’s best to be prepared with some strategies to communicate your decision as early and clearly as possible to minimise hurt feelings and damaged relationships. 

Today you’ll learn: 

• The pros and cons of inviting children to your wedding,
• why parents might get upset when their kids aren’t invited,  
• how to word your wedding invitations for an adult-only wedding, and 
• how to respond when your guest says they won’t attend your wedding unless their kid is invited.
