Me either, though it does provide an interesting opportunity to discuss what my wife and I did for the kids involved in our local wedding.
Kids were invited to the ceremony with their parents, as we trust their parents to keep the kids under control, and it was an outdoor ceremony in Confederation Park. I noticed a couple of times a couple of parents going to the back of seating area with a rambunctious child, but nothing big beyond that.
For the reception, the kids ate with the parents, and then for the dancing and partying that followed afterwards...the parents took their kids to a separate room where a couple of professional babysitters were. The room was outfitted with a couple of tv's, a dvd player, a couple of game systems and some kid-friendly food. There was even an area that the smaller ones could be put if they fell asleep. Since it was a room off the reception hall, a parent could pop right in to check if they were worried, or the babysitter could come out and get a parent if a child was being particularly problematical. Seemed to work pretty well. Granted, we only had about 10 kids in a roughly similar age range though.
