Having been to two (2) weddings as an adult, and having just encountered the concept of "no kids" weddings, I have to say that I find the idea just bafflingly weird?? Like how are you going to know what your niblings or cousins look like if you only see them once or twice a year and then you don't?? And how are they going to know who anyone is if they're not regularly set loose to mingle with the larger extended family, too?
The youngest person attending my friend's wedding was two weeks old. The most disruptive child activities that happened was this small human loaf occasionally mewling to announce "so anyway I am very small and I have been around for literally two weeks so I do not understand anything yet." The adult guests would just look at each other and the parents and nod understandingly. Like yeah, they do that. Someone's baby crying is just the sounds of life happening, it's a part of everything. That family headed back home soon after the ceremony and dinner, since naturally the only thing more exhausting than having a baby is being a baby.
Other than that, the kids were perfectly chill. I did not witness a single tantrum from a kid who was old enough to talk. There was no kids' table or separate "kids' food" meal prepared for them, or any separate space or activity to "keep the kids busy" while the grownups are talking. They were just there, and save for the meals were just set loose to do whatever discreet stealth mischief kids do, like a bunch of formally dressed ewoks.
