I'm well expecting to get shut down on this one but I'm curious as to what anyone else has done about the situation. I have a few younger cousins who are under 21 who I would hate not to include in our wedding, the only problem is that we don't plan on inviting everyone's kids to the wedding, unfortunately our venue charges the same for a toddler as they do an adult and many of our family has multiple small children which would mean more than tripling our guest list.
Is it acceptable to invite older teenagers(16-18) to an adult reception if they are addressed their own invitation? I have one younger cousin in particular who I know would be crushed not to be included since he's become close to FH, we considered having him be a junior groomsmen but I know his parents could not afford the tux rental and unfortunately FH and I just can't afford to pay for another tux(since tux rentals don't take long we are trying to see if we can work it in but for now it's not feasible).
