[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO it takes a petty person to jump to offense. There could be so many reasons this is a childfree wedding, and I guarantee that singling our your son specifically is NOT the reason. This isn't about you and your family.

Don't jump to offense.

If you're so close to the nephew, send anote saying "Chad, we are so happy for you and would love to come, but we aren't able to leave Larlo behind." He will either offer or not. THEN you can be offended if you must be. [/quote]

I wonder what the OP will say if her kid is invited— but is bored to death because he’s the only kid.  I wonder what the OP will say if they invite her kid — and then feel pressed to invite the 25 other kids of the couple’s friends and on the bride’s side of the family — and due to the extra expenses and anticipated tastes of the guests scale down to a less expensive menu that prioritizes things like chicken nuggets and dipping sauces. 
I wonder what the OP will say when she gets a very nice thank you note for her gift from the bride who’s never met the OP, knows nothing about the long ago gifts of money to the groom, and doesn’t realize the intent behind the gift.  Ok, enough wondering for a Saturday. [/quote]
My bet is this pair doesn’t write thank you notes [/quote]

Based on what? The only thing that you / really know about them is that they’re planning an adult’s only wedding. [/quote]
