Here's an idea: Contract with a specialty service like Special Event Nannies that provides a fantastic alternative to the kids vs. party dilemma. If the venue is large enough, they can care for them during your reception in another room. If not, renting a local hotel room is a great alternative. Bring the kids to the ceremony and once they arrive at the reception, they can go have their own little "play wedding" themselves. http://SacDJ.com/
