Bonus question: if the children are not included on the invitation, is this obviously an oversight or are they truly not invited?
Bonus question the second: What do you think of folks disregarding the obviously univited kids and bringing them anyway?

Bonus #2: Bringing someone along who was NOT ON THE INVITE is the height of rudeness. Utterly, incredibly rude -- the gride and broom have sorted their guest list and if they wanted/could afford extras they would have freakin' been listed on the invitation.
If you can't leave your pwecious kiddies with a babysitter or Grandma for the length of a wedding and reception, you should politely extend your regrets and take the rugrats to a movie instead.

That said, some weddings are kid-friendly. Others are not. Others have an age limit -- 12+, 16+, etc. This is the choice of the wedding couple and is NOT subject to interpretation by guests. Little kids are likely to be very, very bored at an adult reception, and bored children + formal food + wedding cake = MAJOR trouble.
If there is ANY doubt whatsoever the bride (and groom) should be asked. Be prepared to take no for an answer. Sulking when told no is grounds for disinvitation. This is their occasion, NOT THE GUESTS'.
