[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sympathies. I can beat you! Dh and I are both in a wedding. Our kids are flower girls. And they aren’t invited to the wedding. Our baby isn’t invited at all. It’s insanity trying to figure this out. We basically have a series of babysitters working long hours. And the baby is headed hours away to grandparents. It kills me that they’re invited to the rehearsal but not the rehearsal dinner. Don’t they realize how impossible this is for parents? The reason they aren’t invited to the reception is cost and because everyone has kids, which I get. But our girls are pretty devastated at not getting to go. I sit then down before every meeting and forbid them from mentioning it at all. We aren’t local to the wedding.

I too had a childfree wedding but we also didn’t know any kids. Our flower girl did come. [/quote]

That's crazy. I'd just say no.

FWIW, my DC was a ring bearer in a relative's wedding, and he went to the rehearsal dinner and was at the first couple of hours of the reception, and then we got a baby sitter for the last few hours for him and the flower girls so they could go to bed. But that was our choice.

Our DC's first outing when he was a baby was a friend's wedding. I mentioned something about finding a babysitter and she insisted we bring him. I didn't even get to see him much because my friends all wanted to hold him.

Some of my best memories from weddings are kids dancing and having fun. The people who gripe about kids "drawing attention" aren't worried about the kids being fussy or making noise, they're just narcissists.  [/quote]
