We're anticipating a few questions about older kids not being invited to the wedding. My BM suggested adding something to the website. I have a note about the babysitting service for the little ones, but she doesn't think it's clear enough for the older kids. I had hoped it would be clear since they...

I've tried to put a lot of humor and personality into our site, so I'm thinking of something like...

"What about those that are under 21?

Much like your favorite night club, the wedding will be adults only."

We do have a junior bridesmaid and groomsman though. Should I include a "(except for the wedding party)" or eave it alone? I just wish people would get it - no name on invite, not invited. ;-/

I agree, Matt! Some of our guests are actually happy that they'll have a night away from their kids. And I bet the older ones are happy to be away from their parents for the night too. We're not saying that they can't come on the trip, just that we can't accommodate everyone for the actual wedding. If people don't understand, that's on them! There's obviously a difference in our relationship with the two kids in the wedding and FH's 3rd cousins that we see once every 2 years.

Do you get that we can't invite everyone, because that's what this post was all about? You'll also notice that I put "kids" in quotes throughout my posts. I don't count them as "kids" either and I certainly wasn't disregarding their maturity level or life accomplishments.
