[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids belong at weddings, if only pour encourager les autres.

Dunno what I'd do if I had a close relative throw a No Kids Allowed one. I guess I'd go, were not not too inconvenient logistically, [b]but would sit with other parents, passive-aggressively discussing how adorable infants are.[/b]

[b]What a miserable way to spend an evening with your spouse? I[/b]’d enjoy a lovely meal where I didn’t have to remind anyone that napkins go in laps, enjoy a few glasses of wine without doing the math about when I needed to nurse, look amazing for my husband without worrying about spit up on my clothes or whether my dress allowed me to breastfeed...and see the adorable infants literally hours later.[b]  I would be bored to tears if all anyone wanted to talk about was children, [/b]and I’m a huge fan of mine![/quote]

First of all, there is a big difference between a 7 year old and an infant.  I think we all can agree infants are a lot more work and don't need to be there ( unless young enough to just nurse and sleep)  Second of all, I have never been in a group of people ( with my infant) where we talked endlessly about said infant.  We would talk a few minutes about "cuteness" and then talk about other things...family news,. the weather, sports, politics.

When my kids were in my brother's wedding ( six and three) I let go a lot of the manners and let them eat what they want ( they were pretty neat eaters so not worried about that)  We went to the wedding, reception and left early.  It was all fine!

But, if the couple did not want my kids there I would have followed their rules but, perhaps would have been unable to attend.  That is the risk, couples have to make.
