So why exactly is OP upset? Because someone else decided that they wanted to have a kid free wedding but is having a kid free party by having a reception without kids and not just skipping the entire wedding/reception. [/quote]

I understand why OP is upset.  To me, if you're having a child-free wedding and/or a wedding requiring travel, you're also stating that if people can't make it under those circumstances, there will be no hard feelings if people decline the invitation.  OP, however, feels that she can't decline the invitation without there being drama.

Guests who complain about the location or pressure the bride to include kids are out-of-line, but people who create obstacles for you to attend their wedding, such as cost, destination, no kids, or whatever, and then get upset when you decline the invitation are also out-of-line.  OP, would your brother and SIL be upset if you RSVP for yourself, but let them know that your DH needs to stay home to watch the kids?[/quote]

Grow up, honestly. Grown adults don't worry about "drama." If I make a reasonable decision based on a mature consideration of circumstances including what's best for my small children, my budget, etc., and people don't like my decision? I don't care. They can even snipe at me or gossip about me behind my back--that's not my problem.

Make your choices, live your choices, grow up. Grown adults do not engage in, or even notice, "drama" unless it is by watching "Real Housewives of ____."[/quote]
