[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would go to the dinner and bring the family but give a smaller gift.

It is a family wedding!   And not a random cousin either.  [/quote]

It’s not a “family” wedding if the kids aren’t invited. I hate that. I never go to weddings if kids aren’t invited. [/quote]

Read the Op.  the kids are invited to the wedding ceremony.  Just not the reception.  [b]I had kids at my reception but I know some brides don’t like it/don’t want to blow 150$/head on an 8 year old[/b]…[/quote]

Which is fair, but then it’s not necessary for the family to blow that kind of money to have kids travel to the ceremony. .

I guess it's culture.  For my family, the ceremony was the big deal--it was the wedding.  Not bopping around in a hall with a DJ and a 3 course meal for 4 hours.  That's often not kid friendly.  Get a sitter and go to the reception with the DH. It's not that hard-people can give you a reference, and DH can leave the reception halfway through and go back to the kids.  [/quote]
