[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - and these prior two responses make perfect sense to me.  We've been lucky that most of our very-far-away weddings happened before we had kids, so it hasn't been too hard to get the ones that have happened since.  I'm more curious about the posters who seemed to say that they categorically would not attend a wedding that their kids weren't invited to.[/quote]

Did people actually say that?

Don't you think it's actually because of child care and/or expense?

Seems like you are trying to stir up trouble, op.[/quote]

This is OP 9of this thread) and people did say that, which surprised me because it's not my mentality about weddings.  Here is an example from the other thread:

"It's entirely up to the bride & groom. Their call.

Certainly I'm not going if kids aren't allowed. My call.

Planning weddings is hard. They can make decisions that shape their day as they choose."

I read that second line as "I will not go if my kids aren't invited," not "I will not go if we can't swing it financially or don't have childcare or its not a super close friend."

So no, I'm not trying to stir up a debate, although on DCUM, pretty much any thread has the potential to turn into one![/quote]
