Rude to Exclude Boss' Kids?

I've been looking over our guest lists lately and trying to decide if this is a huge faux pas:

I am inviting two of my colleagues- who in a big company would be my bosses. I am inviting both the colleagues and their wives.

My question is: is it rude to exclude their children (all school age, not teen or adult) from the invitation? We are inviting other kids. My reason for this is that I  have never met their kids and feel that the kids would be completely bored. Or, should I include them on the invitation anyway and let my colleagues and their wives decide whether or not to bring them?

Re: Rude to Exclude Boss' Kids?

  • I don't see any reason to invite children you've never met and have no relationship with.
  • I agree with the pps. All of the drama of inviting or not inviting children comes when people are doing things like inviting some cousins and not others or inviting 1 sibling and not the others and so on. In your situation inviting one of your boss' children and excluding the other boss' kids would not be good.

    Just because you are having children at your wedding doesn't mean you need to include every single guests child. For example on our list we have included children that are related to us and some friends children (WP's children incl in this). There will be several people that don't have their children with them. If that doesn't work for them they will decline the invite.
