Hi girls,
I will be having an adult reception. My mother emailed my aunt to see if my two cousins needed sitters for their kids (2 yrs and 18 mo). They will be traveling about 16 hours for the wedding (or flying 2). My aunt replied with this:
The girls are passing on the babysitting offer but do thank you! Right after my mother received this email she received one of my cousin's response cards in the mail with her daughter's name added in. (the envelope was address to Mr and Mrs Smith only, per etiquette I didn't put adult only reception on the invitation).
What should I do? Should I ask what they plan on doing with their kids? My father said we should assume they're leaving their kids at home. But I feel like the email my aunt sent is very open ended- especially since the response card has the kid's name on it. My mother said "this is a dear abby question"
Side note- I have 10 friends/cousins with kids ages 8 mo. to 2 yrs who have already asked me about kids at wedding/babysitters,
with the exception of these particular cousins. My other guests are having their parents/in laws babysit or using the babysitters I'm providing.
