I'm glad I found this part of the community. It was getting scary out there.
My mom and I were discussing the whole "no kids" policy yesterday, because my boss's daughter (my FI and I are super close with my "boss") asked me if she would be coming to my wedding. I didn't really know what to say, so I just made something up and it just went over her 7 year old head lol. It got me thinking about cut offs though. One family we are friends with has a girl who will be 16 at the time of my wedding, and I babysat her when she was little, so she is like a little sister to me. I would certainly invite her. BUT... she has an 8 year old sister who is kind of a terror. If I invite 3/4 of the fam, I have to invite the little one. Then, I feel like I would have to invite my boss's kids if other kids are there. Before long, Im getting carried away with kids and budget. Also, technically, my FBIL is still a kid too since he is a teen.
So the dilema is: If I invite 16 year old friend, then 8 year old must come with. If 8 year old is there, then the no kids rule is out the window. Boss's kids will have to be invited then. Thus, budget is ruined.
Can I make an age cut off?
