[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask. We had a weird situation where we weren't going to attend a family wedding because it was "no kids" but when the parents of the bride heard this, we were informed that kids within the close family could come. The couple was later among their friend group to marry so if everyone brought kids it would have been like a toddler daycare. We triple checked with the couple because we didn't want to appear presumptuous, and made it clear that we were fine either way, just wanted to clarify.[/quote]

This does not sound like a “weird situation.” This sounds like a situation where you threw a hissy fit and caused a problem for the bride and groom and they accommodated you. If your children had been invited, they would have been ON THE INVITATION OMG.

THE NAMES OF THE INVITED PEOPLE ARE ON THE INVITATION

“We are fine either way, just wanted to clarify” haha you are terrible. So rude. So self-centered. [/quote]

NP-I don't think they were rude. Situations get messy with kids and weddings all of the time.  When we got a save the date card for my cousin's wedding it came to "The Smith Family". We planned our family vacation around this wedding since it was a 10 hour drive to a beach location. Our family included a 1 year old.  When the actual invitation came it only had Mr. and Mrs. Smith.  I reached out to my Aunt (mother of the groom) and she confirmed that the wedding reception had been switched to "no kids" but that we could bring our dd to the ceremony and she helped me find a babysitter for the reception.  Then we get to the reception and there were no less than 15 kids ages 6mo to 12yrs old.  Everyone we saw asked where our daughter was and they were confused when I said with a babysitter.   It was a frustrating experience.  A year later the groom's brother got married.  He fixed the issues and made certain that all children were listed on the invitations with a separate RSVP card for the kids asking for age at the time of the wedding, food choices and movie choices. Kids were allowed to sit with their parents at the reception or go to the kid's room that was staffed with 4 babysitters and had toys, crafts and kid friendly food. It was the best wedding reception we have ever been to.[/quote]
