We're doing this for our wedding, because my family has a good amount of young kids and we're having flower girls. We have two family friends who are in high school but not quite close enough to us to be invited to the wedding. They are excellent baby sitters so we're paying them $75 each (big money for a 15 year old) and for their hotel room.
We're letting our family know that we're providing sitting services for the duration of the reception, so they can bring the kids to the wedding (if they so choose) and drop them off in the room after dinner. This way the kids get to play with all their friends, swim in the pool (both girls are lifeguards), and everyone gets to enjoy the wedding. Also, we get an "adult only" feel without having to exclude family members.

This is an excellent compromise.
