Weddings without children are becoming more and more of a rarity, but there are still some who dream of a formal affair free from children. For these types of weddings, extra planning is nec-essary to make sure that those with children are still able and willing to attend. The tips below will help you plan a child free wedding that is conve-nient and enjoyable to all.
Choose an Appropriate Day and Time
Choosing the right day and time for a childless wedding is extremely important if you have a lot of guests with children that you wish to come. Saturday afternoons are a bad for weddings when you do not want children around for ex-ample. This is the day and time when most fam-ily activities take place and many guests with children may choose to skip your wedding if they have to make a choice. Choosing a Sunday afternoon or Friday evening would be better, as these are times that would not interfere with fam-ily activities for the most part.
Let Your Guests Know
It is important to make it clear to your guests from the very beginning that you do not want children present under any circumstances. Having this information printed on your wedding invitation is a must and having an extra card made with a cute phrase that reiterates your point is a good
idea as well. If you do not make your desires clear from the beginning, you may end up hav-ing to turn some guests with children away on the day of the event.
Don’t Make the Ceremony Too Long
Guests who have children and choose to come to your wedding are likely paying for child care by the hour and may even need to get home in order to feed an infant or care for younger chil-dren. If this is the case, by making your ceremony shorter in length, you are ensuring that everyone is able to stay for the whole thing and has time to enjoy the reception as well.Consider Buffet Style Service
Table service at a reception is elegant and nice, but when you have guests that may only be able to stay for a limited time, it may not be ideal. In order to have a child free wedding, you may have to make some compromises. Having buffet style food service will allow guests with children to eat faster and then if they must leave early, at least they were able to enjoy themselves and have some food.
Make Parking Easy and Accessible
Guests who have children that they were not able to bring to your wedding may find them-selves facing an emergency at home. If this oc-curs, they will need to leave quickly and without it being a difficult task. Making parking for your wedding easily accessible is ideal when you don’t want guests bringing their children.
Having a child free wedding is possible, but it takes more planning than a traditional event. The tips above can help you plan the perfect wed-ding that is free of children, but which does not inconvenience your guests with children.

PLANNING A DESTINATION WEDDING?
Weddings are among the most memorable events in every couple’s life. There are no cou-ples that do not want their wedding to look special. But before a couple gets hitched, they have to undergo a lot of careful planning for the success of their wedding. Some couples stick to traditional wedding ideas like a simple church wedding and reception. But there have been a lot of couples today who enjoy exploring ways on how to make their wedding more special, that is why they go for planning destination weddings.
Some couples bear the notion that destination weddings are too impractical. But just remem-ber: a wedding is a once in a lifetime event. You have to make the most out of your wedding, and one way to do that is to plan a destination wedding. Destination weddings are unique and intimate ways to make a wedding extraordinary. What makes up a good destination wedding is an exotic destination and a lot of detailed plan-ning and execution. Couples need not to have a hard time planning their destination wedding. This article is a guide on how to plan a successful destination wedding.Find a Venue for Your Destination Wedding
You are planning a destination wedding be-cause you want to go beyond the traditional church wedding in the city. So, when you plan your destination wedding, you have to find a unique and exotic location. A unique location for destination weddings is a place atop a hill or a resort overlooking the beach. The fun in planning a destination wedding is that you get to travel and fulfill your idea of a perfect wedding. How-ever, when you choose a location, make sure that the place is absolutely accessible for you and your guests.Choose Your Guests
Destination weddings may come out costly which is why you have to be wise in choosing the guests that you want to invite to your wedding. This will help you cut down on expenses for food,
travel, and accommodation. You can keep a destination wedding intimate by inviting only the most important people for you and your partners life. Treat your guests well in your destination wed-ding. They made the effort to travel to a faraway place for your wedding, so make sure that you have planned well for their accommodation. Also, inform your guests ahead of time about the date and venue of your wedding.
Seek the Help of a Wedding Planner
If you want your destination wedding to be a success, you might need the help of a good coordinator who is experienced in arranging all the procedures for the wedding. It would also be good if the wedding coordinator knows his or her way around the place. The wedding coordinator would be of great help especially when unex-pected circumstances arise.
