We're having an adults-only wedding, first and foremost because we are absolutely tapped out space-wise at the venue, and secondly because we'd prefer an adults-only wedding. No tantrums (hopefully) during vows, no parents having to watch kids and not being able to enjoy themselves, yada yada.
But FMIL and I were discussing the shower last night and I was wondering ... what if we invited the little girls in our family to my shower, so that they're at least included in some way? Shockingly I don't hate children, and I am pretty sure the girls would love it. Specifically I'm talking about 3 of my cousins who are between 6-8 (the typical wedding-loving age), and a 2 year old cousin on FH's side, so 4 children total.
I thought it might be a peace offering of sorts for our family members who have children, even though no one's given us grief on the adults only wedding yet. I know it's bad form to invite non-wedding guests to the shower, but is this different? Thoughts?
