[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 459372, member: 3444"] We went through something similar with my brother's wedding a few years ago. I'm all for the new couple to have the say in who's invited to their big day. That said, I do feel that if the bride & groom's extended family has children, they should be included in the invitation to the ceremony -- though perhaps young children should be excluded from the reception party, especially if it's an evening affair with alcohol. But in my opinion older children (like 10+) relatives especially should be allowed to watch the ceremony. It's an important life event/social event in a family. I was truly annoyed when my brother and his bride said their wedding was a no-kids-allowed event. At the time, my kids were aged 11, 13 and 15 and it would have been completely appropriate for them to be there to see their uncle get married. On the other hand, I would not expect to have my children included in an invitation for a non-relative's wedding. [/QUOTE]
