[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m just curious how others feel and would handle out of state, family weddings where your child isn’t invited.  I would like to go, we have a small family and it’s my only cousin but I think it’s rude to not invite our daughter since, in my opinion, weddings are about celebrating with family and friends (including kids!).  My parents will be at the wedding and my husbands family lives abroad so they are unable to help.... most likely my husband will be skipping the festivities, which makes me sad.  Again, just curious how people would react - it’s making me feel sad but I don’t want to cause hurt feelings by not attending.[/quote]

How old is your daughter?  If you kid is over the age of 4 than [b]they should be invited[/b] but, I wouldn't make a fuss.  Just send a present and decline going.  [/quote]

No, they shouldn't. The bride and groom should invite the guests they want at their wedding which may or may not include children. [/quote]

don't be so nit picky.  It was short hand for I agree it would be nice to have children at a family wedding.  Funny story.  I also did not want children because I feared babies crying and had zero experience with children.  My SIL pushed back so I relented and let the four year old attend who in the end was perfectly behaved.  Their baby did stay behind with the Dad.  I am so glad I was flexible and allowed the nephew to come.

Of course, it is their wedding and can do what they wish!

The issue is, the bride and groom are damned if they do, and damned if they don't, so it is easier to say "no kids" and mean it, than only certain kids being allowed. [/quote]
