So what is a person to do....allow cute, sweet smelling babies but ban their ugly, stinky, annoying 6yr old sibling??

You either have kids at the wedding or you don't otherwise you are being VERY rude by picking and choosing which children you find acceptable!

That thought never even crossed my mind.


they should also have creche facilities, childrens entertainment and party bags provided :eek:

I too, would find that a totally unacceptable request.

We have been invited to a wedding and i was a little surprised at how they worded some of it,
I don't have a problem with their wishes but it's how they have said it, Maybe it is just me but i have found it a bit rude.

They have a no children rule this is fine as we only take our son to them if they are family weddings and this is a friends. But they wrote on the invite

''Over the last few years it was your choice and decision to go off and have lots of children but it wasn't ours however it is our choice and decision not to have them at our wedding, so leave them with the grandparents.

The gift list inclosed was a card that said no actual gifts as we have everything we need. please give us money to pay for the honeymoon.
Then there is details of a company where we either send a cheque or ring and give our credit/debit card details so that the money directly pays off the honeymoon.

I am a little un easy about giving money as i guess it isn't the normal thing to do and we aren't used to it. I would feel cheap giving them £20-£30 in cash wheres a gift can look alot more. i don't know how much to give as they are really only a work friend, i would prefer to give a gift really.

I havnt read this thread... but after teading that I wouldnt go! And no I wouldnt send thm money and if they got a card they should think themselves lucky.

My cousin is getting married and there is a no child rule - well I wont be going. No idea where they think I would leave a small baby, but hey ho... 'tis there day!
