Uninvited Kids

Has anyone else had guests show up with kids even though they knew know kids were invited to the wedding? We're having no kids and my niece has a 5 yr old daughter and I was told by her sister that because we're family she may end up bringing her daughter anyway if she doesn't have a sitter and...

Has anyone else had guests show up with kids even though they knew know kids were invited to the wedding? We're having no kids and my niece has a 5 yr old daughter and I was told by her sister that because we're family she may end up bringing her daughter anyway if she doesn't have a sitter and doesn't feel like paying a sitter. Of course I don't want to start any drama with the sisters so I'm not gonna tell my niece what I heard she said but eventually I need to reach out and remind her no kids. Did anyone else have kids show up anyway?

    This irritates the snot out of me. Why people feel their children need to be at every event drives me crazy. If you have decided your wedding is an adult event, then that should be the end of it. This is such a touchy subject with people and I for one think it is so rude to say "to hell with the bride and groom" and the fact that they are hosting a party and have asked no children...but hey, I am going to do it anyway. NO! No kids means yours too! I was at a wedding on Saturday and had to listen to a toddler cry through the whole ceremony. It was horrible. I felt terrible for the bride. Seriously, reach out and if you have to be blunt, go there. Anyone can find a sitter with enough notice, that is not an excuse in my book. Get a sitter or stay home. It is rude! Adult event, then adults only. To the people that say, well what about the flower girl and so on...that is NONE of your business, the hosts have said no children...get a sitter...it is NOT your party. You have a party, you pay for it, you send out the invites...you can have kids...this isn't your party and not your decision. Leave your kids at home when it says no kids.
