So...I'm getting a bridal shower....very excited...this Saturday!!!! my MOH - close friend (FI and I met through her and hubby) and then my 13 & 9 year old daughters are standing up with me too.  I was told that the shower was not Child Friendly....sorry girls, but you cant come.  My oldest daughter is devistated.  Its not my decision and so, they said it would not be child appropriate and I believe them...I just feel awful for my daughter.  Then to top it off the private tasting of the menu is only for 6 people and we decided it would be for us and MOH, BM and the two mothers.  She was crying last night because she doesn't feel like she is included...my heart broke.  I wish there was something I could do to make her feel better.  FI says she should just buck up because its not about her....and I get that, but I still feel for her and wish I could do something...
Also...what kind of shower is for adults only?  I kinda feel like an idiot here, but what are we going to do at this shower?  I have no info and thats fine, but are we taling lingire...is that why my daughters are not allowed?  I'm confused...my mother and FI mother and grandmothers will be there...how X-rated could it be with my grandmother there...you know what I mean....I'm so torn about this...anyway...I just needed to get that off my chest, because I have no control over this...but I still feel bad..

    I had to make it clear to my MOH that I did not want any nude male body parts at my combined shower/bachelorette party. First off because I knew a 13-year-old would be there and second off because I find it really tacky.

    I'd just flat out ask MOH why it's not child-friendly and explain that you'd really like to have your daughters there.

    I always assumed that showers were G-rated and bachelorette parties were X-rated.  I would have thought this might be especially true if the bride had children and if those children had a part in the wedding.

    My mom and MOH are putting together my bridal shower and when my godmother RSVP'd she asked what kind of shower was it going to be? I was a little shocked when she said that but some people are turning the bridal shower into a cross with the bachelorette party. It could be there is a penis cake, its a lingerie or sex toys party, or some of the party games could be very initmate questions. The only other option could be that where the event is being hosted (bar) or the hostess doesnt want kids in her house. 
    I would ask what exactly makes the bridal shower adults only and then see if at least your oldest could come to the shower.
    we are having a adults only wedding but our venue is a museum that has pricy colonal artifacts that we dont wants kids to damage, and they do not have much space for the kids to run around (very small museum) which means there is nothing to really entertain them. Kids are invites to the bridal shower though since its being hosted at my house (I have the most space and its easier to clean) and I dont mind kids being there and there is more room for them to run around and play.

    I have decided to carve out some time in all my business and her and I are having a mother daughter shopping night tomorrow night...it will be good for us..want her to feel special.  They already told me that it wasn't kid friendly, so I"m not going to be brat..I'm going to be thankfull and just listen to them...I decided that we can have some time together and this will ease her feelings of being left out.  We talked about what she was going to wear to the rehearsal dinner and she is getting excited again....thanks for the input...
