[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine if they make an exception for your kid. All the other guests with kids under the age limit would probably be pissed or annoyed at the least. I can understand why they didn’t decide no one under 16 except yours. I’m sorry if that hurts but there’s nothing really to be done. Just don’t attend if you’re not genuinely happy to celebrate the new couple. [/quote]

And they could tell those people "we couldn't leave him out, he's literally the only cousin on that side under the age limit."

They aren't obligated to do that, but they could have done that and then let those people have to swallow and accept that instead of OP having to swallow and accept DC not being invited. They made a choice, it's their right, but it signifies they don't feel a close special relationship to the OP, which is fine, and it's also fine and understandable for OP to feel hurt and not want to go.

Even if they choose to go with the firm no kids rule, really the least they could have done is called to give OP a heads up and explain the reasoning, just acknowledge it upfront. To just send the invite with the cutoff of 16, knowing that OP had assisted her nephew a lot and the nephew and her DC have some kind of relationship, is really pretty cold, IMO.[/quote]
