We have been invited to many weddings where the invitation said Mr. & Mrs. which means not to bring the children. I would only have a problem with this if it was a family member.
It does work both ways: If you extend an invitation to a single and there will be a party afterward it isnt mandatory but it is polite to include a guest for the single. But if you choose to not include a guest for the single then it is very rude for them to call and rant. They need to quietly use the RSVP and dont whine. Just dont be surprised if the cousin or even brother doesn't show. People dont like going to a party stag.
Recently a young man that we have known ALL of his life,my husband was his assistant Scout master and he was our sons best man when he got married. His wedding was 4 weeks back,my husband & I and the siblings were not invited. He asked our son to tell us that they were expecting a baby and paying for the wedding on their own and could not afford for everyone to come. My feelings were not hurt and I will be making a pretty fluffy dress for his new daughter. |
