It's your wedding & it's coming out of your pocket, so do what you gotta do. My family wasn't too happy when I went to Vegas & got married...oh well. When my mom was alive & my sister got married, she had a $20,000 wedding. I got married after my mom died & my father was not paying for a damn thing, so I did what I wanted. I am the baby of 7, one of 2 girls so you would have figured that my dad would help me out, but he's all about money, so screw 'em. Congratulations! BTW, if your family does say anything about it, just tell them that you couldn't afford to pay for that many people. If they still don't understand or get mad, walk away & don't let it ruin your day.

You do, but your best bet is to talk to your cousins or other family members, and explain the situation. Someone may offer to pay, or your cousin may offer to leave the kids home... the easiest thing to do is just to talk to them about it.

It might be best to explain that you can't afford children and could they leave them at home (politely) rather than invite one sibling and not another. It's not about you caring what the family thinks: it's about being caring full stop.

My soon to be also keeps telling me this is our wedding no one is paying for it but us, so we should be comfortable in who we invite and who we dont. He tells me not to invite them cause after all I dont talk to them and havent seen them in 5 years. And I understand where he is coming from because he also took ALOT of people off his list so that we could share our day with close friends and family. I guess iam just too concerned with what my aunt will think. I personally want to send them an invite with a set limit per invitation. what do you think?
