I don't like children at weddings. Most weddings are just not child-friendly, and besides that, then Mom/Dad don't get to have as good of a time because they are babysitting all night. Plus, evening weddings run past kids' bedtimes.
That said, we were only going to allow my niece (who is our "flower girl"), and FI's second cousins (they are both under 2, his cousin has to breastfeed one, and they're from CA) to attend our wedding.
We now have 3 guests that have added their children to their RSVPs. Two of the children are teenagers who can take care of themselves, but one is my 2nd cousin who is living with my aunt & uncle OOT. Ok, fine, he's related to me, and my aunt actually was really nice about it. The other teenager is FI's softball coach's daughter, who I do NOT think should come. And the last is FI's friend's 4 year old daughter, who FI is trying to guilt-trip me into allowing because they will have trouble finding a babysitter for her.
Where do I draw the line??? I feel kind of bad about the 4 year old, so I'm almost willing to bend on that one. But I feel like we can't allow her to come but not the 14 year old. Sorry, this is really long. =(
