upon themselves to invite themselves with a guest AND their child???? There will be no children attending the wedding except FH's neices and nephews but they are an exception. I don't mind that she is coming with a guest it's more so the child. FH doesn't understand that I don't want kids at the wedding. He said well if she doesn't have anyone to watch him then she can't come...I said 'not my problem' Am I being a beyotch?
Sorry for vent thanks for reading

Re: Why do people take it..
NO i said the same. Sorry no kids! I had a friend at party come up & ask me point blank if she was invited. Honestly, we are not as close as we were & she really would have been Blisted. I told her well we have alot of family & its an expensive day so we need to see where we are at when doing the invites. She just kept saying i hope we are i hope we are/So guess what i just invited her & her fiance to not have to hear it. But the kids thing OH NO> NOT HAPPENING AT MY WEDDING!

Re: Why do people take it..
I know how you feel I threw FH a huge 30th Birthday last year booze galoure a Loud Rock N Roll cover band the whole works. I was very clear with the no children part. I said the ONLY children that would be there are MY own and my SIL's kids because it was their fathers party also. (They are twins) My FMIL took it upon herself to tell her other family members that kids were OK I told her no she told me that it is her family and she can invite who she wants those are her sons.
I told her she wasn't paying for the party so it was NOT her decision. Needless to say her whole family showed up with kids one with a NEWBORN. Then they had the nerve to complain that the music was TOO LOUD and the party was TOO WILD>
I said that is why kids were not invited can't get a sitter don't come!
SO FF to Halloween we are all at my FMIL talking about the wedding and I said there will be NO KIDS at my wedding ONLY MY OWN! SHe started again I said listen WE not you paid S40,000 for this wedding and you paid for NOTHING you haven't offered a damn thing so my wedding my day my way!
I feel your pain I would be PISSED TOO!

HOLY! Thats so bad. But i know what u mean. FFIL wants all of his families kids to come. So we said we cant just invite your sides kids. I would have to invite all of my side & it would be 30 kids. Im not having 30 kids running around my dance floor. NO WAY. Thank fully FH & FMIL took a stand & said no way to him. Its not a venue for children. Its a Saturday evening late night affair. NO KIDS! Hes been fine ever since. lol

Re: Why do people take it..
Thats why I made NO exceptions. Once there are exceptions of any kind its harder to tell someone no. My friend's mom had a great solution for this. She told people she was hiring a babysitter and if people came with their kids they would be in another room with the babysitter and were under no circumstances going to enter the room where the wedding was. No one brought their kids. So she had the babysitter guard the card box.

Re: Why do people take it..
I know it's going to be an issue with some of my family members, but we're not inviting children either. I know it is going to be a problem with one cousin in particular. I was going to put 'adult only reception' on the invitation, but I really don't like the way that looks, so I'll just deal with it when they RSVP if they have the nerve to RSVP with their kid.

Re: Why do people take it..
Well if you make a no kids rule and then someone shows up with a kid, it's just asking for trouble. I agree with you about the no kids. Weddings are for adults in my opinion, not to mention that you have to pay for them. You're gonna pay $50 for chicken fingers and french fries? I
