I'm bringing my oldest daughter with me in his place. I've had two guests do this to me today!! Ugh!!! I'm starting to regret not stating on the invites "adult reception only" I will have about 6 kids there but they're my nieces & nephews and part of the wedding party. These kids "filling in"...

These kids "filling in" are a little older, mid teens, but I don't want any other kids there. Why do people think this is ok?!?!

    I personally don’t see a difference. If you’re paying for a person anyway, why not let that other person go?

    It sounds like she doesn't want to come alone.

    Her sister and her mom have RSVP as well so she won't be alone.

    Well I haven't given my final numbers yet so technically I haven't paid for that person anyway. Yes they were both accounted for on my guest list but its the "no kids" that I'm having an issue with. It's not fair for the other guest that I've already told that they can't bring their kids.

    I personally don’t see anything wrong with that. Like why is that not ok? It seems awfully nit picky to be upset about that.

    We don't want kids of any age there! When we're already arguing with FMIL about a family friend wanting to bring her 7 year old triplets, uh no!! It needs to be fare all around. We told other family members that they can't bring their kids, why would we allow someone to bring theirs?!?!
