[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also agree with a PP that this is cultural and seems very American. And that it's a child free wedding is an odd way to start your marriage if you plan to have kids. Marriage is about family.[/quote]

Agreed. It is a hallmark of American style weddings. By comparison, US is not a particularly family focused country and most celebrations here reflect that.

That said, no one is going to change that any time soon so OP and others should just be aware that if wedding invites arrive it usually means that you'll have to pay for childcare or find arrangements if you want to go. If you cannot or do not want to, don't go. I've declined a number of wedding invites because it's such a PITA and [b]I don't want to pay for childcare[/b]. The couple do not care who shows up. Just send a gift :)[/quote]

Lol. I love it. The bride and groom should pay extra to invite your kid, because YOU don’t want to pay for childcare. My God, the entitlement.[/quote]
