<human>: My fiancee and I are trying to keep numbers down, and are undecided on if we should invite kids (8 and younger) to our wedding reception.

We're young (24), but most of our friends have just started having kids, and I have 2 cousins on my side who are both single with 4 kids each! Yikes!  I don't care about telling my side of the family and friends "no kids", I think they will respect and understand our decision. However, my fiancee says her side of the family will be greatly offended if we did not invite their kids (probably about 5 kids total on her side).

We need some advice!

If we only invite those 5 kids on her side, people on my side will likely be offended that they weren't allowed to bring their kids when others were.

What are your opinions on having children at the reception?

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: My side has lots of kids I don't want there. Her side has fewer kids, but get offended easily if they weren't invited. Help!
