We had kids at are wedding-all the way from my 1 week old nephew to teenagers-and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Our wedding was for DH and I to celebrate our marriage with family and friends, and children are included in that package. We had some really cute candid photos that involved kids too. The cake was not knocked over, nothing was set afire, herds of children were not rampaging through the reception hall, etc. Also, I had a buffet style meal, because I'm a picky eater and didn't want to pay for food on my plate that I wasn't going to eat, so we didn't have to worry about kids (or myself) not eating most of the food served. My MIL repeatedly mentioned how nobody where she grew up had kids at their wedding, and I repeatedly told her that I was going to have kids there.
And this is coming from someone who has no kids and might not ever have kids.
I did want to add that if people are traveling long distances to be at your wedding, don't be surprised if they come if they cannot bring their kids. It's a lot harder to swing a weekend of babysitting than just an evening.
