It was meant nicely, LOL, I leave my kids home when they don't need to see something, or I am asked. And it is such a relief for me to get some air without them :evil_lol:
HELP! Need reception etiquette advice please!
- Thread starter severum mama
- Start date
OK, I'm going to venture into the world of off topic -- but did you guys meet on AC or were you together before your life on AC? Just a nosy busybody question.
The straight forward approach is the best way to go here. Call and let her know you forgot to include "adults only" on the invitation. Tell her you would love to have her, but understand if she can't find a babysitter. I would imagine she may not want her kids around the adult activity happening at the party anyway 
I don't see any other way to go about it other going directly to her. It's definately not your responsibility to find a babysitter for her JMO. Congrats on the wedding, and I understand your pain :lol: ...just got married about a year and a half ago with about 200 guests at the reception. You want to make everyone happy when it is YOUR day. Congrats!!!

The guy's version of this drama goes...
"dude, don't bring the kids, it's an adult night".
"OK".
"Cool".
Met here on AC. She had stocking questions and the rest is history!

Don't listen to him.
Met here on AC, then hung out in person and the rest was history.
What a great story! Congratulations. Best wishes to you both as you embark on this new part of your lives. And - it's your day, hopefully a friend would respect your wishes.The guy's version of this drama goes...

I honestly think that an honest response to your friend is best. If its a good friend, they will understand. You cannot possibly please everyboyd and this is your and HN's day.
Love really makes me happy - the avatar is a great pic.Don't listen to him.
Also you dont want the kids at ruths cris because then they'll want food, then they wont eat it, and theres $50 down the drain.
I'd be honest and straightforward.
I also would not take it personally or be offended if a parent decided not to attend. some kids don't do well with babysitters or a parent may have other situations that make leaving kids difficult.
(For instance, I have an exclusively nursing 9 month old. He can't be left for a full evening without causing him a great deal of stress - which i would not do to him.)
