[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ehhh, I think people should have whatever wedding they want - kids invited, child free, whatever.

But if they have a wedding that makes it more inconvenient for some people - destination wedding, child free when some guests have small children etc, they then can't get mad if some people can't come. [/b]

Most of the people in my and DH's family do childfree weddings, which is fine since I decline and send a nice gift and that's it. But once a cousin was incredibly mad we didn't choose to go. Umm - if you have a wedding I have to fly to in a city I don't know anyone in and it's a weekend long bash with all festivities being child free, it is not surprising I (and some of the other cousins with small children) RSVPed no.

But provided she doesn't act offended you decline, she is within her rights to have a childfree wedding and it's up to you how much you want to go. Most of those aren't worth it for me but it's different for everyone.[/quote]

This.  For OP's situation, I'd take advantage of weekend on my own to visit with my family and leave DH and kids at home.  Having them come to visit but then not be included in the big party that everyone else is focusing on seems really rude so better that they stay home.

The OP followed up that the wedding was the weekend after another family event (I’m guessing thanksgiving or Christmas) a 10 hour drive from their home, so her DH and daughter will be in the town where the wedding is held.
