False. I don’t want children at my wedding. They are too disruptive. And it costs too much.[/quote]

[b]What a lucky man your imaginary husband is. :roll: [/quote][/b]

What is your problem? They made a valid point. Children aren’t invited on purpose.[/quote]

If my kids aren’t welcome or family to a relatives wedding, neither am I and I’m not interested in going.  This is not a young child.  [/quote]

Excluding 10+ year olds is very different from excluding babies and toddlers. There's something off about adults who can't even tolerate a big kid or teen.[/quote]

There's not! It's usually a question of numbers. Most people do not invite kids to weddings. If OP had four kids, that would be four additional plates. Many of their guests probably have kids -- where do you draw the line?

I didn’t invite children to my wedding and it boggles my mind now to find out how apparently people are enraged by that. I have over 20 cousins who my parents insisted I invite, along with their spouses. About half of those also have children, none of whom I am particularly close to. The only way we could cut back enough on our guest list to invite our own friends was to come up with a firm rule about no children, which cut back about 20 cousins/children of cousins in addition to kids of coworkers etc.

I doubt any of those kids really wanted to go, maybe one or two girls would have enjoyed dressing up. Oh well.[/quote]

I have a cousin who got married when she was 19 and I was 14 and I was not invited as it was "kid free", but WAS asked to come help watch the younger children for free lol. Guess which cousin I haven't spoken to in 26 years?[/quote]
Do you not see how not inviting kids but demanding a kid come do you a favor for free is different from just not inviting kids?

I have 11 cousins on my dad's side, most of whom are 10-15 years older than me, so a lot of them got married when I was in hs. About half invited me and half didn't. I don't really care that I missed doing the Cupid Shuffle with a bunch of drunk 20 or 30somethings in a hotel ballroom in 2006 because I'm not a loser. [/quote]
This cousin was only 5 years older though. Hilarious to have a child free wedding when you’re only a year from having been a minor yourself. [/quote]
Honestly I think that poster made that story up. Maybe I'm just from the south but think about the people you know who got married at 19 and how nice their weddings were.

It would be more believable if she had said her cousin was in her late 30s and a ~*~coastal elite~*~[/quote]
