[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your feelings are understandable. But I promise you this has nothing to do with your son - 100% this is driven by the bride, overall guest count and a gaggle of kids she's trying to tactfully exclude. So she chose 16 as the cutoff. My own 9 yr old would have been fine to stay with a good friend for a night or two. But if you're not comfortable with your babysitting options then you go alone or not at all. Then move past this.

Look, my cousin had to face an age cut off for her wedding, it was based on the venue requiring extra insurance for an event that combined alcohol + kids. I've helped this cousin out in the past (she lived with me for an internship in college).

She called me and explained the situation and recommended a babysitter locally that a friend used.

That's how you handle that kind of thing if you truly want someone at a wedding and are in a bind.[/quote]

That's a choice to use that venue with a strange issue. Sounds like an excuse I'd roll my eyes at.[/quote]

Why should your minor child’s attendance be important to the bride and grooms decision making process? (Hint - it shouldn’t be)[/quote]

Right, so it's not important to them. Which is fine, they are entitled to have a no-kids wedding. But I'm just saying it's dumb to blame the venue when they venue is a choice.[/quote]
