Okay so my situation is a little different than most. My FH is from England, I'm in Ohio. His family will be traveling here for our wedding, kids included. I want a no kids reception, besides the children in the actual party. My issue is, is it okay to tell my family "no kids" but allow his siblings to bring their kids, as they have no other choices really? They cant drop them off at a babysitter, and I dont want the little family he has coming to miss the reception cause kids cant be there.

I don't think it is fair, it seems biased towards his family. I understand that his family can't get babysitters, but it seems like your punishing your family because of it. I know if it was my family, there would be drama that could ruin the reception.

I would say all or none. People with children know that they can’t bring them everywhere (but have nerve to get upset about it Lol!!). There are certain things that come along with being a parent. One is that they’ll sometimes have to make arrangements for their kids… Another is that they just can’t attend everything. Those are some sacrifices of parenting. It’s not a new phenomenon!

I requested gor only kids in the wedding to be there and asked for siblings to stay back or bring a sitter for the travel.
Easiest way to clear it up is: can't pick and choose, so there are no exceptions outside of what you request.

I’m in this predicament right now. I have family traveling from out of town my sisters and cousins and I know in order for them to attend the wedding they have to bring their children along, but I want a kid free reception with the exception of my children who are in the wedding. If I allowed all my guest to bring their children (most have 2-5 kids each) that’s costly!
