Hello and welcome to the show -the the weekly wedding planning podcast where you are set up for planning success, and aren't overwhelmed by planning stress. Here, you'll find the right tools and information so you can make the most informed decisions about your wedding day without second guessing if you did something right or wrong, saving you time, money and aggravation.

This is show number 44 and today we're discussing the big question many couples face when it come to their guest list, and that is to invite kids or not to invite kids.

Well, you don’t have to worry about that any more because today’s show will answer all those questions and more. To help with this topic, I chatted with Irene Tyndale, Chief Event Officer of Irene Tyndale Weddings & Events, an Atlanta-based wedding planner with over 20 years experience planning weddings and corporate events who has a phenomenal passion not only for design but also for logistics (which is what you want in a planner) and creating memorable experiences. She truly loves people and making people happy, so she knows exactly how to very tactfully handle delicate subjects such as inviting kids, which has positioned her as a leader in the event industry. Because of this, I knew she was the perfect person to speak to.

Irene and I discuss:

• Why this is such an emotionally charged topic
• Advice for couples who are trying to decide whether or not to invite kids
• What couples can do if they don't want kids, but want a few in the wedding such as a ring bearer or flower girl
• If a couple does want kids at the wedding, what they can do to make sure they have a good time while staying safe
• How to word your invitation to let guests know kids aren't invited
