Fighting with Mom over guest list

Fighting with Mom over guest list

I am in the middle of an fight with my mother over my cousin's two kids being invited to the wedding. My mother says that my cousin and her husband won't come if the kids aren't invited. These kids(7 and 9) are maniacs and have no idea how to behave outside of their own home so I don't want the running wild at my wedding. My mother says that they have no one to leave the kids with(basically because the kids are so bad that they don't want to leave them) so they have to be invited. Fi didn't put his cousins' kids on the guest list, so even if my cousin's kids were angels, I don't think it would be fair to invite them. Help!!!

I agree with you Jenn!! let them leave the kids with someone and if the kids are that bad that they cant well then i guess they will not be coming to your wedding. We have enough to worry about on our wedding day than 2 little kids running around wild.

I agree with you Jenn. The only kids coming to my wedding are my sisters four kids. That is it. No one else's kids will be invited. They would just be running around all the time.

I thought it was 'proper etiquette' that if you invite some children, you should invite all children. It may hurt the feelings of those who wanted to bring their children, but were not allowed. Personally, I am only having my neice and nephew at the wedding (they are in the bridal party).
