[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sympathies. I can beat you! Dh and I are both in a wedding. Our kids are flower girls. And they aren’t invited to the wedding. Our baby isn’t invited at all. It’s insanity trying to figure this out. We basically have a series of babysitters working long hours. And the baby is headed hours away to grandparents. It kills me that they’re invited to the rehearsal but not the rehearsal dinner. Don’t they realize how impossible this is for parents? The reason they aren’t invited to the reception is cost and because everyone has kids, which I get. But our girls are pretty devastated at not getting to go. I sit then down before every meeting and forbid them from mentioning it at all. We aren’t local to the wedding.

I too had a childfree wedding but we also didn’t know any kids. Our flower girl did come. [/quote]

Okay this is insane. I would say sorry we can’t make the logistics work for having them in the wedding.

I had a mostly child free wedding, but we did invite our nieces/nephews who were in the wedding and explained to friends with kids that it was just family-only kids invited due to venue space (which was true). I can’t imagine asking someone to go through the hassle of having their kids be in a wedding but then also find childcare for the wedding celebrations. That’s incredibly rude of them. You don’t get to pick and choose kids for certain parts.[/quote]
