Only some kids

Kevin, on January 23, 2020 at 8:09 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8
So my FH has. Huge family with lots of little cousins and we have some family friends will little kids that will be in the wedding party or are siblings of the little ones in the party. Is it wrong to not invite other friends kids or coworkers kids. We really just want to keep it down to family and wedding party kids but once there is more than 10 will they be offended that their little ones couldn’t come. It seems hard to justify a no kid wedding to our guests when there will still be some kids there. Anyone had a similar experience with this?

    It’s YOUR day. It should be exactly what you want - no questions asked.

    I would invite either all or none with the exception of those in the wedding as you will likely offend people if some people can bring their children, but not all.

    It’s YOUR wedding do as you please. We said ADULT SEATS only. Our invitation will say NO CHILDREN PLEASE
    Also we will have how many seats reserve in their honor on RSVP cards
    So it will be NO questions asked !

    You can do what you want as others have said but you will upset some people. If all the kids were in the wedding party then that would be valid to not invite other kids but it will look rude to invite some kids and not others and I think that rule extends to friend and family kids.

    Honestly I am doing this only kids that are in immediate family or in the party ie rings bear and flower girl will be at the wedding. There would be 3-10 little Kids at my wedding and if anyone get offended that’s their issue. Do what you want to do it’s your day! 😁

    You can’t call a wedding with kids a “no kid wedding” but I totally fair to invite kids in circles. Ex: our SIBLING’S kids (our nieces and nephews) were invited. Our Cousins’ kids (2nd cousins? Or 1st Once Removed ? Idk the term, but the relationship distance was much farther than our own immediate family) were NOT invited.

    My biggest thing problem is to invite my coworkers kids or not? All the other kids coming are in the party or family, little cousins nieces etc. we have no other family friends with kids. But I’m not sure if we should invite their kids. There are no other guests with kids not in the family or flower girl categories.

    I think if that’s the case they probably won’t be offended. I think if you’re trying to say no kids to other family members you’re bound to hear complaints. But it may just be about your tolerance to that lol. But I think most adults understand an invite doesn’t include kids unless specified and aren’t offended by their children not being invited. But I think that is all about how you go about it. If you call it out it like “this is a no kids wedding” might make some people pause especially if they see kids there. Others will welcome getting a babysitter.
