Our most controversial topic to date - should you have kids at your wedding, or should weddings be kid-free? Joe and I lay out our points for both cases, and end up with a *major* plot twist and surprise guests at the end. Intrigued? Listen in for all the details.

First and foremost, I LOVE KIDS. Whether or not they should be at a wedding is a different story. In this episode, Joe gets deep about kids’ meals, while I recount a very specific story about a bridesmaid-baby disaster. Brides, grooms, family and friends or anyone with a kid - you don’t want to miss this episode!

Kids or No Kids

• Kids can stress people out. Crying babies, flower girls who don’t make it down the aisle… kids are unpredictable!
• Kids are great for those fun, impromptu moments. Dancing solo on the dance floor, swiping frosting from the cake - adorable! 
• It changes the vibe. Parents need to watch their kids and can’t fully enjoy themselves. OR parents don’t watch their kids and it becomes a safety issue.
• Kids allow weddings to get creative and build fun, family-friendly experiences.
• If you want kids at your wedding, plan ahead and keep them entertained!
• Don't want kids at your wedding? Again, plan ahead! Make it clear, and let your guests know in advance.
