No kids wedding drama

That is going to happen, unfortunately. I think your response was fine.

You did the right thing, and handled it gracefully. Everyone always thinks they should be the exception . . . *sigh*

On the upside, at least you were able to cut this off at the pass instead of on the day of!

Great response! She's likely going to complain about it to someone in the family but hold your ground!

You handled it great! Sorry this happened tho.

Good response. We've also had a few people ask about their kids once they saw the wedding website. I suspect you may run into this with other guests too but as long as you give this same response, you'll be fine. Try not to get too annoyed LOL.

That's pretty much how it will go. Maybe they'll figure out child care before the RSVP deadline and change their minds but either way, you handled this perfectly!

You handled it very well.

After that she called my FH and chewed him out about it. He stood his ground as well. I know she's going to most likely complain to people in the family... I hope this is the end of it but most likely not. People can be so inconsiderate and disrespectful.

I just screenshotted your response because I think it's perfect and I know I will have the same issues. Good for you!

Dont feel bad about it! I think she is rude for even texting you that. Your answer was PERFECT!

Great response!

I just cant believe someone has the audacity to say "I'm bringing the kids with me", instead of maybe trying to be polite about it like "Hey, I saw it's adults only, is there anyway I could bring the kids with me?" You did great OP!

You said all the right things!! My cousin has been saying stuff about her kids and asking if they can come since my stds went out. I keep apologizing and then she tells me she understands because she had a strict no kid and no dates (that's right no one got to bring their SO unless married) policy at her wedding!

I'm afraid of this happening to me. Great response!

If you were to make an exception for someone else - or otherwise single this cousin out by excluding her child(ren) - THEN I can see her being upset. This? This is a tantrum because she can't have her way. Stick to your guns and apply the reasoning unilaterally: no kids means no one's kids are invited. Good luck!

You handled it so well, I love it!! People are so ridiculous and selfish!

Thanks everyone!! Just like @MrsE said... I can't believe the audacity of her.

Wow...I m having my first meeting with my bridesmaid in feb, i had to ask yhe ladies to please leave the kiddies home. I feel its just to much of a distraction..good for you!

We are also implementing the "no kids" policy. With the exception of our son (ring barrer) and the flower girl at the ceremony. They will leave with a sitter shortly after and the reception is adults only. I will be using your grace as a wonderful example when I run into problems. Thank you

Very mature of YOU. Not so mature of her/him. Are they traveling? They could have asked you to refer a sitter. Whatever. One less person to pay for.
