We had a no child policy at our wedding, not to be rude but I simply didnt want them there! We had my 3 nieces as they were flower girls and they sat on the parents table with my mum and dad. We had one guest (an old friend of DH's) that arked up told me ever so matter-o-factly that she was bringing her 1 year old anyway. I told her that we had a no child policy and that she was more than welcome to bring the child to the ceremony but we were not having any children (apart from flower girls) at the wedding. It took 2 hours of me explaining and eventually I just said to her my final answer is no and that she should respect our decision and if she wasnt happy then perhaps she shouldnt attend. I couldnt believe that she went on and on and on about bringing her baby when they clearly werent welcome. Anyway rant over.... I think you should just give what you were originally going to give them. Bridal Registery's are normally only there to help people that dont know what to get someone so if you already have something in mind I think you should just go with that.

I just got off the phone... wowsers. It's all mum's fault! She told the wedding organiser that we had easy access to a babysitter so not to bother making an exception for us (and thats why an exception was made for others, my sis). So, I am going alone, DH is staying home with DD1. I honestly don't mind that they are having a child free, adults only wedding. I was just shocked that my mother interfered and spoke on our behalf when she was totally wrong. Pet peeve!
People have the right to have whatever kind of wedding their heart desires, and if that is child free, or only some kids, or kids by invite only, then that's their right. But I think they do so understanding that not everyone has access to babysitting and some invited guests won't be able to make it because of it.
