As the wedding invites start rolling in, who am I kidding - I don't have THAT many friends. Ok, so, as the two wedding invites I've received stare at me from the fridge door, the glimmer of a full day and night, sans kids, glistens like a beacon of parental hope on the childcare horizon. I'll be dressed like a grown up for a full day, possibly wear heels (the jury's still out on my heel walking abilities) and can get stuck into some cheap cava like only a mother who's left her kids with grandparents for 24 hrs can. But it only occurred to me, halfway through chatting to a child-free friend getting hitched this summer, that the debate whether to allow kids or not to their nuptials was a fiercely roaring moral dilemma. Kid-free friends - let me put your mind at rest - don't invite my kids! Please! In my opinion, weddings are no places for children under the age of 15 - after this age, the free food, possibility of a sip (or two) of aforementioned cheap plonk and the chance of a cheeky snog with a young relative of the bridal family, are all good reasons to be in attendance. Still not convinced? Here's just some of the reasons you shouldn't invite my kids...
