this would be a great way to keep your venue stress free. but what is the feel and vibe you want from your wedding having a creche would probally be easier to mnt invite the children if they are not going to be activly involved, this will also keep your cost down.
Dear Justine
Congratulations on your engagement and good luck with the lovely exiting time before your. This is a questions so many couples struggle with when looking at the guest list. It always come back to personal preference.
If the couple family is very large and there is a lot of smaller children and you and your partner are happy to include them it would be a very good idea. Even if there are just a few moments during the important parts of the ceremony to have specific entertainment for the kid away from the actual party.
Kids get bored during all the formal activities like speaches ect, this is a good time to have a space away for them, when the actual party and dancing start , they can always be included. The venue play a very large factor on this issue. Outside weddings is easier to keep children busy.
As and Event Planner we will suggest to concider how many kids would be part of the Guest list and make your mind up about the Creche.
Hope this help in any way at all, good luck with your planning.
Kind Regards,

Justine,
A Creche is a great idea and has pros & cons like most things.
It will give your guests piece of mind knowing that their childern will be looked after and they are close at hand if needed.
But if you have been to a childcare centre before you will realise how loud and active the children are when all together.
Make sure if you do decide to go with the idea that you will be close enough but far enough away that it will not distrupt the reception.
Supply enough games, draws and toys to keep the children entertained but also bedding as children will get tired.
Have children around adds great excitment and joy but the day is about you so make sure it is what you want not what you feel you should provide for others.
All the best and have a amazing day.
