It’s really not though - that discounts the inconvenience, cost, etc. that childless people took on to come to that wedding. We all have things going on. I know we all like to think we are the busiest, but that implies your time is more valuable when you have kids and that’s really icky to me. [/quote]

Your time and money aren't necessarily more valuable when you have kids, but they are more finite.  I don't view weddings as some sort of tit-for-tat thing, where someone choosing to accept your invitation to your wedding automatically obliges you to attend theirs no matter the inconvenience.  Unless someone is very wealthy, I don't think the thousands of dollars for flights, hotels, attire, gifts, etc. could merely be viewed as an "inconvenience."  Unless I'm exceptionally close to you, I'm not spending thousands of dollars on your wedding.  I guess I'm in the clear though, since my wedding was a local, low key affair and no one spent much money to attend.   :D
