Kids or no kids that IS the question.

I've gone over over this in my head. I'm slightly afraid if I don't have my guest's children invited they won't come especially when it comes to my cousins's kids. Combined my 4 cousins have 14 kids they all live a few hours away. I don't mind the 2 older ones coming but don't think I can ask them without inviting the others. I have one other cousin whom I'm very close to who has a 3 year old. I know she can't leave him at home. What do I do??

There are a couple threads on this topic over the past day or two how to decide which kids to invite, how to address invites, etc. It does kind of sound like if you invite one you'd have to invite them all. But its perfectly fine to not invite any. With regard to your cousin you are close to, I feel like it would be kind of crappy for her to decline the invite based on her kid not coming. Three is old enough to be left with a sitter/local family. Would you consider having a separate room in the venue to set up a babysitter with movies and activities for the kids?
