okay..so my fiance's brother they had a baby he'll be  a year atomorrow, I didn't put on the invitation and family on there. I didn't think of the fact of putting it because hes a baby. Now they think the baby isnt invited. They had to ask my fiance if he was invited or not. Than I didn't put a kids meal option on the rsvp so even though I put and family on invitation,they think the children aren't  invited! I'm so sick of dealing with this sh*t excuse my french. I guess i messed up again!!!!

Don't let this stress you out!

First, I would guess you can accomodate a 1 year old baby since they won't take up all that much room.  

Seond, I would check with the parents to see if the child is eating solid food yet. My guess is that he may still be on baby food and that it woudln't make sense for any reception type food to be provided for the baby.

It's a simple mis-understanding and if you have a calm conversation with the FI brother and his wife I'm sure they will understand.  Apologize, smile and stay calm.

Agree w/ PP. The baby may not even be eatting solids yet.  If he is, there is always the option of pasta and softer foods.  Dont stress yourself, its like we have all done this before lol  mistakes are bound to happen (we aren't perfect).  My invites say that our reception "immediately follows the ceremony"...well thats not 100% true...our ceremony is at 1 and the reception is at 3... I just figured that by the time the ceremony ended and people drove to the reception hall it would be around 3ish..ooops lol

A lot of 1 year olds can eat regular food, so the parents are probably freaking out about that. Are your meal choices not "kid friendly"? Lol. I don't get why so many parents are so weird about that. I have young kids and in restaurants, they'd usually rather eat snacks I pack, than their food.. I hope you can just explain to them that you had every intention of baby coming and that they don't take it the wrong way. This is stressful time for us. Ugh. I know when my invites go out next week! Omg! I'll be dealing with this same stuff. They clearly say and family, but I know I'll be getting phone calls about babies/kids. Oh well.
