No Kids...exception?

If you make this exception, you’ll have to make others. If he is not in the bridal party, I would stand firm in the no kids.

If you allow one you are really supposed to allow all. Stand firm on your no. He will be fine with a sitter for a night.

Just because you allow one doesn’t mean you have to allow all 😑 Invite Who you want. If you want no kids, stand firm with that but also understand long term relationship implications if you say no.

I would make the nephew a member of the wedding party. This way no one can complain about you favoring him over any other children!

If you want no kids, say no. I agree with the first 2 posters. If you allow certain kids but don’t allow others, some guests maybe offended. We are having a kid free wedding and made no exceptions. We aren’t even having a FG or RB to prevent any issues.

Ultimately, you can invite whomever you please. But, if you allow for this kid to come and someone who wasnt able to bring their kid catches whiff of this, prepare for them to be upset and not come.

The only young kids we are allowing are those in our party. After that we are only ok with those who are 15-16+ at the wedding. I've had a few friends question me on it. But we stood firm with our choice

Is he in the wedding? I’m saying no kids in my wedding unless they’re in the wedding party

We are having my brothers: 20 and 15, my god children: 5 and 7, and my niece and nephews: 15, 13, and 10 attend. Yet we are holding steadfast in the “no you can’t bring your children” rule with anyone else. My wedding is not a daycare or a place where I pay for 20 extra heads for food for children *I don’t know* or want attending. I don’t care if I’m inviting/allowing other children. They’re there for a darn good reason. And if someone can’t come because of that then they weren’t meant to be there. Pretty simple.
