[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been attending weddings for 20 years and this is the 2nd to 5th time I've been invited to child-free weddings. I don't get it. At least for one wedding we know we're one of only 2 people with kids in the family. It's just so off putting. I'd frankly rather not be invited. [/quote]

Can't you get a babysitter? Is it local? Do you not go out without your kids ever? If it is travel - bring your kids and then for actual wedding and reception hire a sitter that comes highly recommended. They should offer this service. We did. [/quote]

We are not that poster but I've never hired a babysitter once when my kids were little.  Too expensive.  Nor would I ever consider using a sitter at a venue for safety reasons.[/quote]

That comes highly recommended by who? My kids would never stay with someone they have never met before, and I don’t blame them. I would not be comfortable either. [/quote]

Why are your kids in charge?  You realize at one point they’d never met you, right?

A babysitter is NBD. Have some respect for your kids and stop projecting your anxiety on them. [/quote]
