Wedding Guest Situation

Please give me your honest opinion. Our wedding is in Vegas. We put on our wedding website "this is an adult event." FH friend asked if she could bring her kid. She's asked FH 3 times and me once if she can bring her kid. We decided to make an exception. Each time we have said yes she is invited but have also informed her that many of the things we will be doing children can't be there. I also have told many of my friends including her that I don't want them to feel obligated to come to a destination wedding because we know it can be costly. So today she screenshots my text messages to my FH with circles around our text. And says if our daughter isn't invited then, we aren't invited and we are backing out.

I hate drama and I'm trying to let it go, but I'm pretty much over this girl and REALLY needed to vent. FH said he's dealing with it. I'm going to have to let it go, but right now its hard. And truly am just pissed at this girl making OUR wedding about her. The only people that need to be at our wedding is me, FH, and the officiant.
Wheewwww. Anyone else had a selfish entitled guest.

I grew up in Las Vegas. Their kid isn't going to be able to get on a party bus or on the casino floor. Security is very tight and cameras are everywhere. The only place children are allowed besides like the overpriced arcades, roller coasters, pools, bowling alleys, and shows are the childcare centers in each casino.

I think they probably charge like $25-30 a pop and it gets super boring after the first 2 hours. My parents used to drop off me and my brother there when they wanted to have a movie date. Also, you see a lot of really questionable stuff like old people on oxygen tanks riding the slots and a lot more nudity than any child really needs to see.

I would point out that the expense of taking a child to Las Vegas and putting them in overpriced childcare in order to fully participate in the adult activities is not worth it.

UPDATE: They are not coming to the wedding and were "so sorry we couldn't come." I said thanks for letting us know and left it at that. Thank goodness because I honestly don't want to see her face.....

I would say, it’s better to deal with this with her now, than have it all come to a head on your wedding day! We had a destination wedding, and no children were invited ( all of our friends have 2/3 kids each so it would have been like 58 kids there!) most people were fine with it, but some guests were a bit out out by it! One couple brought their kids on the holiday but left them with her parents for the wedding day. From my own experience, the guests you do the most for and you bend over backwards for WILL be the guests that cause you trouble at your wedding. Nip it in the bud
