I was just wondering what everyone else was doing with invitation rules.
I'm from a second marriage, so my parents had me in their late 30's and 40's
all of my cousins are mostly in their 40's and they have children that are from age 1-18!
I'm not quiet sure if we are going to have an all adult reception, but if we do, do we invited the second cousins over 18?
I barely know them really... I'm really torn on what to do about it. I don't want to hurt people's feelings, but I don't have a problem not inviting them.
Other question is, I would really like to have at least one flower girl and one ring barrier. I don't really know many little girl's, our neighbor, whom we are close with, granddaughter is just so cute and I'd love for her to do it. My nephew I really wish would be the ring barrier, but he's so shy, I think that he'd run away during the ceremony, or refuse because he's just too shy. That brings us back to second cousins again, the only other little boy I know is my cousin's son who will be 5 next year. (Keep in mind that my cousin is also in California and has a two year old daughter as well)
Another question, if you are going to invite children, what should be the minimum age?
M says he was never invited to weddings when he was little, why should we? He also reuses to provide baby sitting service.
I told him that a wedding wasn't really a wedding without a flower girl and ring barrier to me, and he understands this, but what do you do? Invite only ring barrier and flower girl and hope they can entertain each other and not anyone else becoming offended??? Or do I just invite about two handfulls of kids and just get it over with! M was trying to be funny and says well can you just rent-a-kid, so we avoid all of this...? ha
