Also a good daily reminder to brides and grooms that they can invite who they want but they can't force people to attend. [/quote]

And absolutely NO ONE said otherwise.[/quote]

Go back and read all the posts paying special attention to the ones calling parents "co dependent" or mocking them as bestest firstest ever wanting a participation trophy.

People are absolutely trashing the op for considering her baby's needs over her brother's courthouse wedding.[/quote]

She can consider her baby’s needs by simply replying no. But that’s not what happened here. [/quote]

It's always the parents making this a thing. They simply can't decline and leave it at that.

Wrong. OP is being called out for this:

OP: "Obviously it's 100% your right to have a child-free wedding but it [b]just seems very targeted at us[/b]"

It's targeted at OP if the invite read "OP's children are not invited". OP making this more than it is - simply a childfree wedding and dinner - is why OP is getting criticism.

Unless they specifically planned to have the wedding after OP had a baby - to intentionally exclude her - this "targeted" thinking is baseless, a manifestation of her frustration over a child free wedding.

Op is the only guest with kids so by your logic then yes, it is directed at her. [/quote]

No, it's not targeted at her. The post you just read explained why:

"Unless they specifically planned to have the wedding after OP had a baby..."
"It's targeted at OP if the invite read 'OP's children are not invited'".

[/quote]

If a store has a sign that says "no women allowed" it's targeted to woman. It doesn't have to list every woman by name.[/quote]

It’s a party. For all we know it’s at a brewery that doesn’t allow kids.[/quote]

DP - The bride and groom are not allowed to choose a venue that does not allow children. That would be a personal attack on OP (who has a child and is therefore the dictator of this event).

The wedding couple must only choose (and pay for) a venue that will accommodate OP and the baby. [/quote]

Maybe they can hire a wet nurse for her so she can leave the house for 2 hours.[/quote]

They are still attacking her personally by forcing her to fly with a baby to a destination wedding. This is not acceptable.

The wedding needs to be in a convenient location for OP and her baby.[/quote]

Maybe OP can host it in her backyard. But I’m sure she won’t want any icky groom or groom’s friends in her house, like the other post here.[/quote]

The backyard is too far. There are bugs and the baby might catch a chill. The wedding must take place within the baby’s tastefully decorated nursery, within a select optimal eight-minute window.[/quote]
