[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sigh. I've never understood people who had weddings  without inviting kids. In your shoes, I would ask my husband to talk to his brother again and explain that the girls are older than their cousins and that it's unfair to ask them to behave and be decorative at all the events but not invite them to the party.

And then you decide what you want to do.[/quote]

I've been to plenty of kid-free weddings.  Usually they have some kids in them and then they're not present at the reception.  Usually these are late evening weddings where the reception starts around little kid bedtime.

The ones I've been to that started late in the evening or went late into the evening where kids were allowed always had multiple kids having meltdowns, especially the ones who were in the wedding.  Those kids had often been up since the crack of dawn and had spent the day on their best behavior, smiling when told, being positioned and re-positioned, and paraded around like a little decoration or something.  I get why they had the meltdowns, but at the same time, they were always disruptive.

I can see why a couple self-paying would want their reception to be kid-free and less of a hassle.  [/quote]
