[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a no kid wedding in 1997 and still feel bad about it. It was a nighttime dressy wedding, but only my friends from college had kids (not DH) so I wound up with all of my friends going back and forth to their hotel room because they didn't want to use the babysitters we'd arranged for, then later when I had kids and saw how hard it was to manage babysitting out of town I felt bad everytime[/quote]

I totally get it- perspective changes when you have them yourselves lol.  We didn't have a strict no-kids wedding as we included kids in our families, but only included adults for friends and then a few brought their kids anyway without asking, which annoyed those that had gotten sitters.

I generally don't like no +1 but I have like 20 cousins and after getting several no +1 wedding invites from them as an adult (if thy bothered to send me one, usually they would include me in the invite to my parents even though I didn't live there anymore!) I followed the no-ring-no-bring lead and didn't extend +1 to any of my unmatched cousins.  Tons of family there, no one was alone.

If we could do it all again we probably would have skipped the wedding and gone to the courthouse, all this sh-t was stressful.[/quote]

Worse than no +1, is the selective +1. We have been invited to a family wedding where most of the singles family members from 18-45 did not get a +1 regardless of dating status. But one cousin in their 20s got an invitation addressed to the cousin and the current girlfriend. This girlfriend is very well to do. It reeks of a money grab and was quite insulting to the others that did not get a +1.[/quote]

It's more likely that they extended an invite to the girlfriend because they knew her.  Who is thinking about the wealth of someone's girlfriend when deciding whether to invite them?  That's quite a stretch.[/quote]
