We are having an adult reception (13 and up). FH's dad and sister were made aware of this but still refused to attend (said they wouldn't give us a wedding gift either) if we didn't invite her two little girls (4 and 1 year old). His sister has attended 3 other weddings where her kids were not invited and didn't have a problem. We are paying for our own wedding and could not afford to invite all the adults we wanted to let alone everyone's kids. Should we break the rule for her since they are my FH's nieces or should we stick to our guns?

GypseyBride: No actually. We didn't expect them not to come since we told them from the beginning about the no kids thing. His dad and his sister knew we had a tight budget and his dad refused to give us a dime to help pay for anything. It's not like his dad couldn't afford to, he's an orthopedic surgeon. So we did things our way and hoped the people close to us would understand. Obviously they aren't as close to us a we thought they were.

Your wedding, your rules! I know it's family but at the end of the day this is absurd.
