[quote=Anonymous]Interesting story related to this (for me at least)- a friend was getting married last summer in southern CA (we all live in Maryland).  They made very clear that it was going to be a child free wedding- the save the date specifically said that regrettably there would be no children at the event.  So it made it very easy for guests to either make plans well ahead of time or decline.  We declined, because my DH didn't want to budget 2k for a solo vacation (flight- we have no airline points- hotel for 3 nights, entertainment etc) which would then mean we would have to cut waaay back on our family vacation plans for that summer.  I don't get the impression the couple minded at all- we are still good friends with them.  BUT- the bride's sister had 3 young kids and threw an absolute FIT.  Both sides behaved really badly.  The bride was like "no exceptions- no kids at all!!!" and the bride's sister was like "but we have no one to watch them for a 4 day weekend since all of our relatives are going to be AT THE WEDDING and we won't be able to come!!!"  (apparently she didn't want to go solo).  I place more blame on the bride's sister for not just keeping her mouth shut and going solo to the wedding.  As it ended, she did not attend the wedding and the bride was LIVID at her sister for not coming (which I thought was also very unfair of her).  They are still basically estranged to this day over the matter. [/quote]
