stress and wedding details

Dec 06, 2006 13:02

So there are people offended that we have requested "adults only" at our wedding. There are many reasons why we chose that request... one: because of cost (we can't even invite all of our friends). Two: because it's a formal event with an open bar and I don't think that's a place for kids (they would likely misbehave and who could blame them). And ( Read more... )

Anyone who's miffed about how you plan your wedding should be reminded... IT'S YOUR WEDDING! Not theirs!

It bugs me how people get all opinionated about things like that. I mean, can't they just put it aside for one day? Bah.

They have this thing called a closet, and a thing called a lock.. they should use them for one night :)

If they are so offended that their kids can't come, then they shouldn't come. Simple solution. Do NOT let anyone else's opinion about your wedding affect you. Sheesh, people are weird.

The reactions from your guests tell me you probably did the right thing. People who have a cow because little Johnny's not invited are probably the same kind of parents who let their kids run around screaming their heads off and then say, "Oh, he's just ACTIVE, isn't he PRECIOUS???". Good responsible parents know there are some events that are just not FOR kids. I'd imagine a wedding would be pretty boring for children. They would probably be happier staying at home!

Yes, its rarely the people with well-behaved kids that complain, unfortunately. Like I said, we were very good kids, but our parents rarely brought us to events. It probably has something to do with parent's willing to set limits, I imagine.

Oh, you are awesome. It will come from all sides, I am sure. Like I said. I remember people casually mentioning their kids attandance even before the invitations were sent out. Even with people saying "people are going to be upset" because of past experiences is enough to get me stressed...but not too stressed because I know you don't care, and for the few people who find it enough of an issue, they can stay and leave us more room for budget for freinds and alcohol :B

I totally understand getting stressed over it, that would be my initial reaction. But...just listen to Frank. He's got the right idea. :)
