[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there is a no kids wedding, adding one 9 year old that people wonder about causes more hassle than never seeing OP and their $$$ again. [/quote]

How do they know she's going to be so vindictive? It wasn't a decision that was personal to her. They invited her to come and would probably be happy to see her believing they have a close relationship. It doesn't mean they don't like her son. His not going doesn't mean he won't be close with cousins. All of this is just made up narrative to fuel anger. [/quote]

Yeah, no.

It’s perfectly fine for the couple to have a no kids wedding. However, they can’t expect attendance or huge cash gifts from relatives with kids.

The aunt isn’t vindictive because she won’t attend or send a bucket of cash. A nice $200 gift is all that good manners requires. [/quote]

Nobody said it wasn't fine, OP came up with the punishment all on her own. She wants to send a message with her gift but nobody knows if the message will even be received. In OPs mind she is the VIP of this wedding.[/quote]

Are you a bridezilla drooling to get other people’s money? Why would she give this pair thousands if they didn’t invite her kid? [/quote]

Are you some kind of psycho? OP rolled in here and told us all about her spite gift. It's not like she said she was going to give her usual $200 gift she was hoping they would expect they would be miffed by a smaller gift because in her mind they should be expecting something more. We have no idea what their expectations are whatsoever. OP has zero relationship with the bride.[/quote]

They should not expect a gift in the thousands. OP was worried that they would and it would create drama if she didn’t give them thousands. It sounds like OP is more successful than her siblings and they feel entitled to her money. Excellent time to shut that down![/quote]
