No children will be allowed at mine whenever that time comes.
Firstly, I don't particularly like children. I don't find someone's kid who found their way to the dance floor to be cute. Sounds mean, and it's not meant to be.. they're just not my thing.
Secondly, I do not think a place where adults are drinking and staying up late is a place for children. I don't want anyone drinking and then driving their kids home. Plus, people get drunk at weddings. It'll be encouraged when my time comes. A drunken party is not a place for anyone's tot.
And considering I know zero kids, the few who might be attached to someone I know would have a horrible time because there wouldn't be other kids to play with.
At many venues, kids are part of the head count.

I definitely understand why you might choose to not have them at yours.
Having said that
None of the parents with kids at our wedding drove their kids home drunk. I would hope people you know are just as responsible. But it's definitely a fair point worth considering.
All the kids at ours were family, but my wife has a big family. So there were lots of them to play with.
My venue did not, which is part of why we allowed it.

Sporting events are no place for children!

but you are ok with them drinking and driving themselves home?
we are having a few kids at ours, and we are having an open bar. our way of eliminating the drunk driving was to hire a shuttle service to the venue and back to the hotels. the people who live close can either stay at the hotel in the city for the night and ride the shuttle or keep a DD do drive home safely. this is important to us.
