[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m fine with someone wanting a “no kids” wedding as long as the bride/groom/extended family are cool with this being the reason I don’t attend. I will not volunteer the reason, but would answer honestly if asked and my MIL would definitely ask. But it would be irrational for people to have their feelings hurt over our non-attendance.[/quote]

If you're going to say no to a wedding invite simply because they didn't invite your children (without even considering a way that you could make this work), then I doubt anyone will miss your presence anyway.  I know I wouldn't.[/quote]
If you know that no kids would be a deal breaker for me, why do invite me? If you don't know, again, why do you invite me? Gift grab?[/quote]

I had no kid wedding, and it wasn't a gift grab to invite people.  It was I don't want you to feel left out in those cases.  Those who didn't come also didn't send gifts.  It is all good.

My main goal was at the next college or family reunion it wasn't brought up and I got the snarky "well we weren't invited" comments or questions which I've seen go down.  I wanted everyone to feel included but not pressured to attend.  End of story.   [/quote]
I never thought about this aspect, but I don't go to reunions. Makes sense. [/quote]
