[quote=Anonymous]We were invited to my cousin’s wedding (outside, could drive to it), very clearly with all our names on the invitation. Then recently got an email from the bride saying they were requesting that all their guests be fully vaccinated to attend (completely reasonable). I responded to my cousin that since our kids are too young to be vaccinated we could leave the kids at home, or get them tested in advance of the wedding. Bride kindly replied that our children were the only ones attending and they’re happy to have them and a test isn’t necessary since all the other attendees will be vaccinated. We did rapid tests anyway, and all went and had a lovely time at the wedding.

I guess my point is - this is your family, you should be able to ask a simple question. We had no kids at our own wedding but were fine with teens - the kids in our family at the time were a 1yo and a 3yo who were not well behaved, so we offered to have babysitters in the venue to watch the kids. That worked out well. Obviously not necessary for 2 teens, but hopefully the wedding party has some sort of accommodation for families with children who are considering travel for the wedding (which, as a parent, I would probably not do right now with covid rampant).[/quote]
