I totally agree.
valkyrie also made a valid point that leaving handbags & personal items is very common at weddings. But that's pretty much where it should end. You shouldn't leave your kids free to run and get into stuff that they're not supposed to because you can't take care of them while you are off socializing or dancing or whatever.
If you're not going to be watching them, leave them at home with a babysitter.
I'm not an expert in child psychology either, but wouldn't a wedding reception seem kind of dull to them? Those events are not intended for children, so there's nothing there to keep their attention or even slightly interested when 98% of everyone else there is over the age of 25. Kids get bored. Bored kids turn into mischievous kids and then they do stuff to entertain themselves.
