But we wouldn't even think twice about attending, especially since she says she has the money, but it's tight and she just wants to save it for another vacation.

I never said that I wanted to save it for another vacation. I don't. [/quote]

To be clear, if I didn't have to spend over $2000, we'd probably drive to the Delaware beaches for a few days this summer.  If we all go to the wedding I won't, and I'll enroll them in a different (cheaper) summer camp than I would have otherwise, and also have them take the summer off from karate lessons.  But I'm not saving it for another $2K plus vacation that is a trip that I'd rather take than the wedding.  [/quote]
Answer this: WHY does your sister want your kids at the wedding? It doesn't sound like she is terribly close to them.  It seems to she wants them there for the cuteness and photo ops.  Is this worth the stress and the expense for you? Let her use someone else's kids as props.  How much attention would the kids receive from her at the event? Zero.  How much fun would they have at the event? Just as much as they would have at a playground or at the beach.  Weddings don't mean a damn to five-year olds. [/quote]
