ADULT RECEPTION - need advice

Original post by FDNYwife1029

Ok so my fh has a cousin coming from out of town that has kids (8 & 4) and he just told me that most likely they are bringing the little rugrats to the wedding.

we already agreed NO KIDS!!! I am fuming.

What do I do????????

I hate dealing with this. So annoying!!!!!! I can't even tell him to leave the kids home because it's their family vacation!

HELP!!!

We also did not want kids at our wedding but we made an exception for OOT kids only because it is unfair for the parents. I agree that sometimes you have to pick and choose your battles and let some things slide, its less stress that way.

This makes the most sense... I don't want kids there, but this will have to be the one exception. I really hope others don't get mad. Oh well. YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE!!!!



EXACTLY! Both of FH's brothers are OOT and they both have kids. Even tho we are not allowing kids at our reception, we are allowing them to come bc theyd have nobody to leave them with, everyone they know in NY is gnna be at my wedding! Im sure other people r gnna be like 'why were they allowed to bring their kids...'....OH WELL!! Theyll get over it!!

Thanks for all your advice ladies.

Cristin, I'm gonna try your suggestion & write their names only. See what happens.



I have a feeling even if you write their names only they will still try to bring the kids. So just be prepared to have to talk to them about it. Very rude for guests to bring more people than were invited! Sorry!



O yea I know! We already had this problem. You would think people would be understanding of the situation and I don't want to seem like a biotch since I don't have kids yet but come on, its one night without your kids, they'll be fine!
