[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 459360, member: 6546"] Thank you... Yes, it sounds as though I am the one who is "out of line" by assuming that my whole family would be invited to a family wedding. (What's that saying about assuming? Oh yeah...) This particular invite came as a magnet, inviting prospective guests to "Save the Date". This was followed by a more traditional-looking invitation and another magnet inviting us to visit a website for all the information. The website includes the names of the stores at which the couple registered, as well as an EXTREMELY pricey resort hotel in which a block of rooms had been reserved and an ad for the location of the ceremony. Since nothing indicated no children, and this was family, and this was out-of-town, I made my assumption. I then heard in a roundabout way that some of the relatives were counting on difficult child to babysit their toddlers who would be left behind in hotel rooms for the evening. Meanwhile, difficult child has every intention of attending the wedding - NOT sitting in a room with fussy toddlers. (To say NOTHING of the fact that I wouldn't trust difficult child to babysit a goldfish!) So I got upset when the bride emailed this morning - letting me know that children (other than those in the bridal party) are NOT invited - but that some other relatives who would be in town for the event are having trouble finding a sitter - (Hint!) (Hint!) (And yes, Trinity - you are right about those relatives complaining regardless. LOL! Now that you mention it, I believe they were also unhappy with the choice of entree...) [/QUOTE]
