[quote=Anonymous]I agree-- child care and expenses.  My cousin had a no-kids wedding on the other side of the country.  I went, while my husband and kids stayed home.  It just did not make sense to pay for a plane ticket to fly my kid across the country so she could -not- go to a wedding (we might have been able to find a family friend to babysit).  I went, I had fun--it was definitely not a stuffy, stuck up affair!  If my kid had been invited, we would have all attended.

Also, if we're not super-close and I don't know a lot of other people at the wedding, it might just not be worth the cost of a babysitter.  If it's out of town, I'm unlikely to be willing to hire a random babysitter, so unless there's someone I trust who can refer their sitter, that's going to be a problem.

I don't care what people do, as long as they don't pitch a fit because someone with kids says they aren't coming.  Have the party you want, and recognize that it means that some people won't be able to come.  Likewise, let people have the party they want, and don't attend if it's too expensive or too inconvenient for you.  [/quote]
