FH & I decided not to invite any children to the wedding beside FG and RB. We invited 292 and expect about 250 people. Our wedding is a Friday night and since our siblings do not have children and our youngest cousin is 15, we are not particulary close to any young children who we feel 'need' to be there so late on a Friday.
The drama begins... one of FH's cousins (who he is not close to!) is complaining big time that her child (who will be 3 months old!) is not invited. FMIL is fuming and furious at her niece but my mom thinks we should invite the baby. FMIL and FH are upset because when they went to this cousin's wedding, no children were invited even though one of her other cousins could not come without her infant. I guess every parent thinks their child is the exeption to the rule.
I'm curious what you all are doing about children and your suggestion for handling this situation.

There is NO PLACE for infants at a wedding reception..exactly the reason why FH and I put 'Adult Reception Only' at the bottom of our invite...and everyone knew it was done specifically for only two couples...
We love kids, but our reception is not the place for them...JMO.

Keep that foot down and stay strong!!!!
ditto - if she doesn't want to leave her newborn with a babysitter, then she should send her regrets and stay home

the only kids invited to my wedding is the rb and fg. it's not a place for children to be. i already informed the parents of the rb and fg, if it gets to much for them, they have to leave so they don't end up ruining other guests fun.

Thanks, ladies, I feel sane again (at least for the moment...).
