[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m just curious how others feel and would handle out of state, family weddings where your child isn’t invited.  I would like to go, we have a small family and it’s my only cousin but I think it’s rude to not invite our daughter since, in my opinion, weddings are about celebrating with family and friends (including kids!).  My parents will be at the wedding and my husbands family lives abroad so they are unable to help.... most likely my husband will be skipping the festivities, which makes me sad.  Again, just curious how people would react - it’s making me feel sad but I don’t want to cause hurt feelings by not attending.[/quote]

I have been invited to out-of-state kid-free family weddings, and I don't think it's rude at all.  It's up to the hosts to decide who to invite, and it's up to the guests to accept or not. People who don't invite kids should understand that that means that some people will not be able to attend.  I attended my cousin's kid-free wedding by myself and had a ton of fun.  I certainly wouldn't decline to attend out of spite or hurt feelings -- if I couldn't, then I wouldn't.
