[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know someone who said no kids, knowing that many of the families on their guest list would be unable to arrange child care since they'd be far from home. The couple marrying needed to have a small wedding because of costs and figured that this would trim the guest list down without them having to make decisions about who not to invite.

As it turned out, a lot of people just couldn't do it, between the travel and having to arrange child care, so they declined. 
Then, the bride was all upset because so few people were able to make it to her wedding!

Weddings are emotional times, you just have to do what works best for you and your family.

I’m sure that’s what will happen.  They reserved places for about 400 people (my aunt and uncle paid for the chunk of this wedding).  Most guests are family members and friends, most have children.  It’s across the state held in a rural area and we were looking forward to using it as a family reunion but now we may skip out.

I’ll also add it wasn’t clear upfront no children were allowed.  The invite said Mr. and Mrs. Larlo and then after we RSVPd we received a mass email to all guest saying no kids under 16.[/quote]

Go ahead and cut your nose off to spite your face, OP.  A wedding is a few hours out of several days.  If you really wanted to have a family reunion, then take your family and only you go to the wedding while your husband stays in the hotel.  Or talk to the 90% of other guests who will need child care and figure something out.  But you won't.  You'll stay home and then you'll blame your cousin for ruining a family reunions, when it was her wedding, not your event.  Your disdain for your cousin is clear in your original post when you went out of your way to tell everyone that you think it's tacky that they are getting married AFTER living together for six years and having two children.  You just want another reason to judge/dislike your cousin, and now you can point to a whole bunch of people on DCUM who are equally outraged with what your cousin is doing, so you can feel righteous in your hatred.  Enjoy your bitterness.[/quote]
