Hey ladies! I know you'll all give me some honest advise on this, as I'm unsure of how to go.
Our wedding isn't until May 2015, so we've got a long while before we send out invitations, but we're probably going to be sending out our save the dates in the fall, which is coming up.
We've decided we are having an adults-only wedding, and we know that because of this, guests who are invited may decide not to come. We understand and accept that and thanks to the information and advice I've seen given on this forum, I know how to graciously respond once those invites do go out.
Now, here is the dilemma, and it seems so trivial right now because we're so far out from sending invites! My aunt was talking to my dad on the phone recently and conveyed to him that my cousin (her eldest son) has already decided he's not coming to the wedding because he won't go anywhere without his daughter. My aunt is furious at him, because they all live far away from us and we haven't seen my dad's family in several years. My other two cousins, who also have kids, are well aware children are not invited and they are both excited and ready to fly up and have a great time.
I am of the opinion that I should still invite my cousin who is saying he won't come without his daughter, since it's still early and he may change his mind. My fiance, on the other hand, is like "no way! don't invite him, he's already made his choice, let's not waste and invite on him--space is limited and we can invite someone else we want to invite who we KNOW will come!"
What do you all think? Is it too early to even worry about this crap right now?
Thanks so much!
