[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a ridiculous thread.  OP has FOUR kids who aren't little.  It's a NEPHEW getting married.  In all likelihood it's the bride's family paying for the bulk of the wedding.  And posters are laying guilt trips on the nephew for not inviting the whole, gigantic family.

OP chose to have a huge family.  Good for her.  But they can't ALL be invited to everything.

If OP wants to go, get a sitter and go.  If she's doesn't want to do that, then great, the husband goes.  Nobody is going to blink an eye.  But the idea expressed by many that the couple should be "punished" or "face the consequences" of not inviting kids is so self-centered and ridiculous.

Yes, you have kids.  You love them.  That's great.  Doesn't make any of them the Second Coming in the eyes of others.[/quote]

Ok bridezilla. The point is the couple is also not the Second Coming so hopefully nobody is surprised when people decline the invite. [/quote]

Right.  That in your eyes would be their "punishment" for not inviting four kids.  You've proven my point.[/quote]

The whole point is that it is extremely gauche to invite people you know will not accept the invite because you excluded their kids. $$$ grab. [/quote]
