Your dad stands up to give a toast. A hush sweeps over your guests and all eyes are on you, your new husband and dad at the head table. There are laughs, there are touching moments, and just as dad's about to get to the piece de resistance in his speech, your cousin's daughter decides now would be a good time to start throwing a temper tantrum.

There are ways to work around the Adults Only Wedding vs. Kids Welcome Wedding situation. For those opposed to having any children at their reception, there are ways in which you can make it so your message is clear without offending too many people.
