People do care. They are too polite to say otherwise.

No one cares about your kids and “how they are growing up.”

I once was invited to a wedding of some Puerto Rican acquaintances, and asked if I should bring the kids. They looked at me as if I were an alien and told me of course, what kind of wedding doesn't have children there?

The kind of wedding where the couple getting married don't want their wedding ceremony taken over by screaming, crying and ear piercing shrieking from little Larlo and friends....? It's not a difficult question folks.

I think part of it is that people are getting married later, and having fewer kids these days. And the wedding industry has created a certain image of what a wedding should be like, which is quite different from what it used to be, historically (and still is, in many cultures).

We had a kid-free wedding, so I don't have any issue with people making that decision. But weddings used to be considered a family event, rather than some sort of instagram showcase. You would no more exclude kids from them than you would from, say, Thanksgiving dinner.

Do you RSVP online? We used Zola for our invites and RSVPs and it goes person by person, yes or no. So you may be able to clarify without an awkward conversation.

No kid weddings are definitely an Anglo-American thing. I’ve never been to a Jewish, Eastern-European or Hispanic wedding where kids weren’t invited.

I don’t know if either way is better, but just an observation.

Or Middle Eastern - kids stay up until the wee hours at those weddings, too.

So what? No one said weddings with children don’t exist. But so do child-free weddings. The two people getting married get to set the tone. If you don’t like it, decline.

Um…just leave the two teenagers in your hotel room while you attend the wedding. This isn’t a real problem.

This thread is hilarious. There are huge beautiful breweries in California, especially in wine producing regions, that allow kids. Believe it or not, these are pretty places. I do not drink beer, but I'd even use them for events if I did.

California doesn't need people flying in from other places right now. If you do attend, please wear masks at all times while indoors and be vaccinated.

They all care, you're rude. ANd nobody really gives a F about your kids. Trust me on this one. Everyone's kids grow up. Yours are not special. Except that they are clearly entitled because mommy and daddy think rules don't apply to their speshul ones.

Didn't OP respond that the kids' names were on the invite?

Why are you clowns still hooting about this.

JFC. Land your helicopter, you loon.

Kids or no kids, the liquor better flow and the music best be great.

Anonymous wrote:Since they mention brewery that seems to imply drinking age minimum. May not have intentionally thought about this excluding your kids, but there it is. They opted for an adults only venue it sounds like (it may be the brewery policy that no kids allowed, as opposed to a legal restriction). Is the wedding itself at the brewery or just the reception? Would they be able to attend the ceremony?

This.
