Sister not attending wedding

I like attending a wedding without dragging my kids along, it's nice to have adult time.

Sorry to hear this. I didn't have a child restriction, but most people opted to have babysitters anyway. So I will only have a few kids.

Totally understand. My brother didn't come to my wedding because his girlfriend doesn't like my family and he doesn't care enough to choose family over her. He didn't even congratulate me. It hurts and I'm still trying to figure out how to deal :/

"you'll be missed"

Sad. I know my sisters were bitching a bit behind my back cause the kids weren't invited. They wouldn't have ever not come though. Sibling relationships are so important, after the kids have up and left to make their own life, these parents who poured everything into their kids lives, will wish they invested a bit more in their other relationships too.

I'm really sorry you're dealing with this. My sister didn't come, my brother left in the middle of the ceremony (and miss family photos after) to take his 10 year old to softball practice, and my other brother only came to the ceremony (despite RSVPing yes to the reception for him and his wife). I've been in all of their weddings and to the birth of most of their children. I honestly thought we were close enough for them to be excited about me getting married.

It's heartbreaking. I'm not sure if I can hang the photo of me, DH, my parents, and my siblings who did come (I'm one of 7) because I'm a mix of angry and hurt by the ones who didn't. It really sucks that your sister has a chip on her shoulder with you. It creates such a struggle!

I have an aunt who declined and claimed we did not give her an invitation even though everyone knows she did.

My husbands parents were not sure they would attend but in the end they attended the cocktail hour and reception only.

Other than that, no.

But your sister does have the option to decline even though it absolutely sucks.
