[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a large extended family on my dad's side and find that my cousins all roll with it.  Sometimes kids are invited, sometimes not, sometimes even if they are invited they/I leave the kids home anyway, because flying everyone to FL for a random October weekend doesn't always work.

Our attempted compromise was to invite kids in our families.  The only people who questioned this were local friends/work colleagues who didn't want to get a sitter for the night.[/quote]
At my wedding, we invited cousins' kids, but not friends' kids. Most of my cousins hadn't had kids yet, so it was easy to include them without ballooning the guest list. Now that they've all had more kids, I might limit it to just my nieces and nephews. I think as long as "categories" of people are all excluded, it's reasonable and fine. But it would be rude and offensive to say that Cousin A's kids are invited, but Cousin B's kids are not.[/quote]

IMO, not always rude.  If the B/G are very close to Cousin A's kids, but barely see Cousin B's kids, that just might happen.  Especially if the venue has a guest limit.  [/quote]
