Are my kids invited?

[jembelina]

Short of asking them(which I will probably end up doing) if my kids names aren't listed on a wedding invitation do I presume they are not invited??
I just don't want ot ask if it's obvious they aren't invited as I don't want to make them feel bad/obliged/whatever. SO, are kids names usually put on the invite or what?
any help appreciated!

Mmmmmm maybe not

Night out for you and Scott without the kids:smiliedance:

I'd assume they arent invited and if u want them to go, ask :)

we didnt invite children but didnt state no children on the invite either, we did get the word around tho :)

Our children will be at the ceremony but not the reception, some other children will also be at the ceremony but no children will be attending the reception at all. well except one 9 week old baby lol but thats different! :)

They would usually write you, your partner and family if the children were invited. Looks like they aren't.

[MW&S]

Yeah id say if they were invited the names would be on the invite.

[our little treasures]

I don't think they are invited. It would have your names and family or your names and the childrens names:thumbsup:

[Bewitched]

I would say no, they would have been written on the invitation for sure, looks like it's a no-kiddie wedding.

[peapod]

I would say no also we didn't have kids at our wedding and just wrote adults names on the invites

[jembelina]

I thought so, wishful thinking I spose. DF is one of the groomsmen and we will have noone to babysit as the inlaws are invited also. I don't mind taht the kids can't come, in fact I'd love a night out without them, but if they don't go I can't go so it's a bit dissapointing.
I can take them to the ceremony though, can't I??? I really don't want to miss out on seeiong df all done up!!

My uncle married a Greek girl (no longer together) and on their invites they had to specify 'no children' as apparantly it is tradition just to bring the whole family.

Maybe you should ask in a round about way just to make sure.

Even with the ceremony I would ask - its their day after all. Usually its not a problem unless the kids are at that age where they find it hard to be quiet for the ceremony. Nothing worse for the couple's big day to have a toiddler creating havoc

Is there noone else you can ask to babysit??

[missie_mack]

Yeah wouldn't hurt to ask about the ceremony. We had no children at the reception but it was ok to go go the wedding. It put a few peoples noses out of joint especially family. Dh's aunt and uncle (siblings) refused to attend the wedding at all as their children weren't invited- and it wasn't for lack of babysitting just making their own stance.

we hada few ppl kick up a fuss about it to but too bad! Its our day, our way :D

i would just ring your DF and say
"hi just wondering if it will be ok to bring the kids to the service i dont have anyone to look after them and dont want to miss out on seeing you get married"
And just see what she has to say she may turn around and say they are invited...

We have invited kids to our wedding as my sisters all have kids and wont have anyone to look after them.. and if ours are there then why not have a few more i know how hard it is to get a babysiter when the whole family is going as i missed out on my cousins wedding for the same reason...
Our friends that have kids arnt bringing them they said its a good excuse for a night out but they were invited...
I'd just ask :) wont hurt..

Same here! We did not invite many children only close close ones such as brothers on DHs side and the rest of his family kicked up a stink and half of them ended up not coming.

It hurt DH but oh well we just have nothing to do with them now.:rolleyes:


Assume they are not invited to anything unless their names are on the invite.

[~mia&ryan~]

The few children that are invited to our wedding are included on the invitation.. Except for a few newborns and very young bubbas, who arent written on the invite but (well some arent even born yet!!! LOL) but the families know that they are invited..:yes:
