Hi folks,
I’m
new to the forums, but not new to
internet-researching-the-crap-out-of-specifc-topics. This is a pretty old
argument, and I’ve seen some heated topics from both sides. Here’s the thing… I
don’t particularly enjoy kids at weddings. I know some people get super into it
and think it’s adorable to see them dance and act like goofballs. And about
MOST things, I am pretty laid back and not Bridezilla-ish, but kids are
unpredictable. And when my parents are shelling out a bunch of money for a
wedding, I do not like unpredictable. Not to mention, I’m not close to any
kids. I don’t have any nieces or nephews, and I don’t live in the same hometown
as my close friends who do have kids.So I’ve met my friends’ babies/children
like once or twice, and my west coast friends don’t have kids yet. THAT SAID –
I’ve already decided that I don’t want kids at the wedding. I’m seeking advice
on the best way to handle said decision. I was just going to shoot my friends
with kids casual texts, but one of my mom’s friends said that people will feel
too singled out and that I need to send a blast email with everyone so they can
see EVERYONE is being told not to bring kids. But that seems… weird to me.
Would people really feel singled out if they can’t see everyone is getting the
same message? Advice on the best way to handle would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
