Invite ettiquite

I surely wish everyone posted their invites on here before they sent them out to get printed. We just got an invite in the mail from FH close friend back home, a 4 hour plane ride for us. We had truly thought about going for a quick weekend since its right before our wedding. Well on the invite we recieved today, the outer envelope is addresses to me, FH, and our 2 year old. The actual invite says adult only reception to follow, which believe me I fully understand if we didn't have a 2 year old, ours would be the same. So basically, our son is invited to the ceremony, but not the reception?? I'm so greatfull we didn't book our airfare yet, since we would have no one there to watch our son for the reception. Their save the date Also had our sons name on it.

  • Can I just say that's stupid, or do I have to write up a thoughtful response?

    Haha, that's stupid fits this perfectly!! That's exactly what I told FH. I'm just truly relieved I found out BEFORE we spent nearly 1,000 on flights and a hotel for the weekend for a wedding we wouldn't even be able to attend!!!
  • I'd be tempted to RSVP with him and take him. "well, it was addressed to him too. We must have missed where it said adults only."
  • I would call and clarify. It's possible that they are allowing OOT guests to bring children and just didn't think to include a note or call or something to let you know what was going on. 
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14
