We were told my husbands cousins wedding was CF. So we got a babysitter, no issue... Then the night do came and thier were kids from the grooms family that "we couldnt say no to" really pissed off my husbands family as none of us brought our kids. Some had even travelled pretty far to be thier and had to leave thier kids for the weekend.
Thing is, we have a small family, the only kids in it are my SO's niece and nephew. The niece and nephew are going to be part of the wedding party so that is the only kids we will be having. Our wedding list is pretty small anyway, around 40 people. Haha.
I've spoken to friends about it who had adult-only weddings, the exception being two kids in the wedding party that were family and they had no issues.
Many of our friends have babysitters apart from one couple who's kid is a nightmare. In fact, their child is the only one I REALLY don't want at the wedding BUT you can't not invite just one child. So that is why it will be no children apart from the two in the wedding party.
Nooooooo!
If the couple have specified that it’s an adults only event then that’s what it is. They will be aware of any guests that have children but they have decided they don’t want kids at their wedding - breastfeeding babies or screaming toddlers.
It would put them in such an awkward position if they have said it’s an adults only wedding and then someone asks to bring a child. Don’t do it!!!!
Either find childcare and make appropriate arrangements or decline the invitation.
Yep, I would rather someone decline the invitation. No children apart from the two in the wedding party. No exceptions.
And I wouldn't be horrible about someone declining. A lot of my friends I have spoken to with young children said they'd prefer to go to a wedding w/out kids as it is day off. Haha.
