Venting.
My brother is getting married and we just learned that our 14 year old daughter is not invited because the wedding is adults only. Although I wish she could see her uncle get married and celebrate with the family, I respect that couples can choose to do their wedding however they please.
Here’s my beef: my daughter is the only one of their nieces and nephews not invited. The rest of the 4 kids are younger and are the 2 ring bearers and 2 flower girls. So they’re permitted to go because they’re part of the wedding. Then there’s my girl who wasn’t included and also isn’t invited due to the adults only policy.
I’m sorry, but that is just wrong. Is one 14yr old really going to make that big of a difference at your party? She will stay at home alone while our ENTIRE family and every single one of her cousins celebrates without her.
Now I am typically 100% respectful of the adult only policy and COMPLETELY get why couples choose to have it. But I feel that an exception should have been made here. I have organized a big sleepover for her and her friends at our house on the night of the wedding (with a paid sitter to supervise) so she can be doing something fun instead.
I’m so hurt and I feel like brides today are getting out of control. I know not everyone will agree with this but family should come first.
End rant!
