[quote=Anonymous]I honestly don't have a problem with people inviting or not inviting whoever they choose to their wedding.  There are "no-kids" weddings that either DH or I have not attended but I don't think opting not to attend is some kind of comment or opinion on my part--we just RSVP no!

I have had family members do "no-kids" weddings but have some event of the wedding weekend (like a brunch) that included kids.  I think this is probably an ideal scenario--I doubt my kids would have done well with the formal, evening weddings in these cases, and it still allowed us to see lots of extended family AS a family.

We included kids at our wedding but TBH many of my friends and family wound up hiring a sitter or asking a family member to sit for at least the dancing/party portion of the evening.  In hindsight, I feel like I could have sent out a list of a few local, trusted sitters (not that I had kids at the time--but would have been able to come up with a few).

Recently we were invited to an out of state wedding in which we were very clearly told not to bring our kids AT ALL, for the ENTIRE WEEKEND.  I felt like this was absurd--it's no one's business if we travel with our kids and find a sitter for the wedding-related portions.  But we don't have anyone who can watch our kids for 3 days, so we're not going.  Not mad about it, just not going.[/quote]
