[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now that I have a kid I am even less in favor of kids at weddings. What would I even do with her? She goes to sleep so early! Obviously if you have a kid and get invited to a wedding, you bring them and hire a sitter or one spouse stays at home. Or you decline, which is fine! I just don’t get why you would even want your kids to be at the wedding. Maybe the ceremony, but not the party! Late night parties are not for children. [/quote]

Agreed!  It's so rare that I get a night out, I don't want to spend the wedding chasing my kids around.

I get not having good options for allowing both OP and her DH to go- I'll likely be flying to two family weddings on my own in the fall.  It is what it is.  Another cousin is getting married next summer in their hometown, a beach location, so we will probably travel as a family and make a vacation out of it, but hire a sitter for the wedding.  In that case we know that our family members there will be able to recommend a good sitter.

We tried to strike a compromise for our wedding- encouraged local guests to leave their kids at home but were understanding with the out of town guests who didn't have great options.  However at that point not many of my cousins had kids yet.  [b]And my parents' friends totally took advantage of it and brought their grandkids to the wedding without asking!!  So I think it's easier just to draw a line with No Kids to avoid hurt feelings.

Wow, I think that sums up the definition of RUDE right there! [/quote]
