[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is the sitter you are having?  I think that can be a big part of your excuse.  If you have to bring the kids, pay for clothing, and then get an unfamiliar sitter then I would totally have no issue saying it won’t work logistically or financially to bring them.  Say that you will not have a trusted sitter so one of you will have to miss the reception anyway.   If your kids are fine to stay with a resort sitter (mine would absolutely not at that age) then I think you need to determine if its still financially worthwhile to all go.

Brides and grooms are often not aware/sensitive to all the details that eveyone else has to account for.  Which I totally get - they are aiming for their own dream wedding, but sometimes they’re oblivious to what others have to do to make that happen for them.  Toss in a destination and it can be misery.  (I’m still bitter about having to take my teens out of school, miss important personal/academic things, and spring for a Mexican vacation we did not ever want just for SIL’s showoff wedding.  And she was just bitter that not enough people came and it rained nearly the whole time.  So much for the dream wedding!)[/quote]
OP had already planned on a sitter for the kids prior to finding out they couldn’t attend any part of the reception. So your sitter excuse doesn’t fly with her statements in her OP.[/quote]
