[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, nobody else is bringing children at all, correct? I can see your BIL's side of this. He envisions the reception as an adults only celebration, drinking, dancing etc. and not really suitable for kids. It feels like a personal slight to you because your kids are the only ones attending and so are the only ones disinvited from the reception, but I doubt that is the way it was intended. It sounds like he has made a pretty good effort to include your kids and just wants the one thing to be adults only. [/quote]

Agree.

There is nothing wrong from structuring the events as they see fit. There is also nothing wrong with you declining to attend which is really your only other option. Kids do not need to be included in everything and you need only tell your children that it is an adult party and you will bring them a piece of cake. The End.[/quote]

An adult party is fine. But why invite the kids to be in the wedding? The reception is part of the wedding. [/quote]

They are often seen as separate, for instance, MANY people don’t go to the ceremony (especially if its at a church) and not go the reception. So it’s not wrong to treat them as two different events on the same day.

I suspect as others have stated this is some kind of compromise. Either OP pushed the idea of her kids being in the wedding so the bride and groom allowed it, br obviously want an adults only reception. Or maybe the bride wanted the children in it but the groom didn’t want them around all night, or vice versa. IT DOES NOT MATTER. The bride and groom have laid down the rules and OP can either accept it and move on or have a stink about it.

Kids don’t belong at every event. They don’t have to. It is really not a big deal. Not everyone thinks they’re as wonderful as OP does. Perhaps they could only tolerate them for part of the day. [/quote]
