    Sorry this happened to you. I'm so not looking forward to this part of it all.

    Great response! I think she expected you to get pissy right back and you didn't feed into it. Thumbs up.

    Good response! There was no reason for her calling your FH and chewing his head off. It's not like she's the only one who can't bring kids to the wedding. Glad you both stood your ground

    That's a good response. We're doing no kids as well except for out of staters.

    Great response!

    Maybe it's just me, but I've never understood why people make such a big deal about wanting to bring kids to a wedding anyway! IMO, I'd rather get a sitter and have a nice date with fh at the wedding then have to wrangle kidlets.

    Dear Lord, you may want to elope after all the drama around the wedding and his family members. Breathe deep and treat yourself well. You have weathered these storms with grace.

    That's all you can do. If they can't find a babysitter in 3 months then that's their problem.

    Im trying to figure out how were going to handle this once invitations go out. I went to a party last weekend for our best mans daughters 1st bday. I commented to his wife how beautiful her babies dress was and then she said "i know right! shes totally wearing it to your wedding" I didnt even know what to say.. Save the dates were only addressed to the Best man and his wife as Mr & Mrs.

    That was the most nicely worded shut down.
