[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids were invited to my wedding, so I have no dog in the fight.

I’ve been to weddings where my whole family was invited. Some where only DH and I were invited. Heck, I’ve been to a wedding where only I was invited, with no plus one.

I’ve never viewed any invitation as rude. Weddings often have budgets, and I get that. Also, even though “vibe” wasn’t a big deal to me, I can see where some people want an adults only vibe. Whatever, it’s their wedding.

If I want to go and it works for me, I go. With or without my kids, with or without DH. Sometimes we have to decline. OK.

But why do people act so freaking offended? Go, don’t go, whatever you need or want to do. And yeah, maybe some relative will be offended—that’s their choice, not my problem. Whatever.

Weddings, by the way, aren’t family reunions. So if you want a family reunion, plan for and pay for one yourself. [/quote]

I agree. I would never go to one without my babies when I was breastfeeding, but I was never offended that someone will ask not to bring kids. I would just politely decline and send them a gift. A wedding is not that big of a deal so they won't care if I miss it. The one friend who wanted me to be there at all cost called and told me I can bring the baby even though no kids were allowed for others.[/quote]
