Guest List Vent

Lauren, on May 28, 2019 at 7:31 PM Posted in Planning 0 3
From the start I told my fiance I didn't want kids at the wedding. He wore me down to one niece and nephew he is close with. But not he told his other brother his other nephew can come. Which now I feel like I have to invite my cousins who are younger children because it would seem rude not to. Before the reason was a no kids weddding, but if my fiance insists on having all the kids in his family there how can I not invite the kids on my side. I know it's not the end of the world, but I just really wanted a fun adult atmosphere. I love my cousins and his nieces and nephews, but didn't feel like having to worry about keeping kids occupied or screaming and/or crying. I'll get over it, I just needed to vent for a minute.

    Your FH knew what you wanted, but he ignored that and did what he wanted. Have a serious talk with him asap! I feel this is more than a wedding problem - it's a potential relationship problem. If FH can't respect your boundaries/wishes now, chances are he'll continue that pattern in your marriage. So sorry you're having to go through this!

    There’s a big difference to me between nieces and nephews and cousins. This is actually exactly what we did. Immediate family’s children only, which would be our 3 nieces. We haven’t gotten any push back from extended family. While it should have been a discussion, I wouldn’t expect someone to
    invite one of their siblings children and not the others.

    This. Cousins’ children and nieces and nephews aren’t the same thing and you absolutely can’t pick and choose which nieces and nephews to invite. That doesn’t mean you have to add any children from your side of the family.
