[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think the bride and groom can set a no kids rule and everyone else should accept that and not complain about it. BUT I don’t think Brides and Grooms can have it both ways. You don’t invite kids to be part of the ceremony so that you have your perfect set of attendants and cute pics - and then exclude them from the reception.[b] If the kids are part of the wedding party they should be invited to the reception.[/b][/quote]

Seriously, skip the wedding. [/quote]

Normally I defend the whole no kids at weddings thing if it's what the bride & groom want, but this is different. I think that members of the wedding party should be allowed at the reception. It's super stinky to exclude them in this case.

I don't know what I'd do in your shoes... probably try another gentle conversation with the sibling and ask him to put himself in your shoes? In the end it is, of course, their wedding and they can do as they wish re: guest list, but as you pointed out it's also a huge ask for your family to attend and participate. While it's their prerogative, it's also not great hospitality to leave members of their wedding party hanging. But you also have the rest of your life in a relationship with these people and not attending a wedding would likely affect it.[/quote]
