[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you care and feel the need to go if you aren't that close to the couple?  If you were close to the couple, I don't think you'd have an issue with not bringing your children.  I left DS at home when my sister got married in Mexico in a small destination wedding where I was the maid of honor with a no kids request.  My MIL watched DS for the weekend.  I didn't even think twice.

I get these requests from time to time from old college friends, and it just isn't worth it to arrange everything to be there.  I am a huge reply no to out of town weddings and just send a simple gift - much cheaper than flights/hotels/etc.  And you still show you care by sending a little something.  [/quote]
DP. If I am close to the couple then they would ask me before sending the invitations, and they would know in advance that I am not coming without kids. DH can go without me. [/quote]

You people are such a pain in the ass.  I have kids and I would never take a stance to always say no to a wedding that wouldn't invite them.[/quote]
Why is it a big deal to you? It makes life easier for everyone. [/quote]

Because your attitude makes it clear that you're the kind of person who tells everyone that you were invited to this wedding but they (GASP!) wouldn't let you bring your children, aren't they horrible, blah blah blah.  If you went quietly into the night, no one would care.  [b]You seriously expect a couple to ask YOU who THEY should invite to their wedding?[/b]  I'm not sure you'd be able to fit through the chapel door with that big head of yours anyway.[/quote]
I go to weddings only if I am close to the people. I would know well in advance what kind of wedding it is, how is it planned, etc. We talk, we are close. We can talk about stuff without anyone being offended, which seems like a foreign concept on dcum. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't, we celebrate later. 
If I am invited by some random cousin I will reply to the "save the day" note that we will not be attending, I don't wait for the invitation.
