We will not be vetoed.
We settled on the number of guests long ago and we're not changing it now.
It is our option to have an adult affair and that's what we're having.

I'd call her and tell her that, Dot. If she chooses to not come, that's her loss, but it's Lauren's wedding!

That's what we thought too.

My response card story was a bit different. My 92 year old great-aunt, who happens to be my mother's godmother as well, phoned up 3 weeks before the wedding to know if some guy who once knew the family could be invited. i wouldn't know him if I fell over him, so I said no. My mom got caught in the middle because my aunt was soooo used to getting her way. Marc and I pointed out that just because you're venerable and OLD doesn't excuse rude behavior, and it didn't matter how old she was, or whether telling her "no" would break her heart, it was still tacky to invite someone that close to the wedding.

I don't think she ever forgave me for that... She held it over my mom till the day she died that my mom didn't invite some uncle to HER wedding, and that was 30+ years ago.

So. . .
Before the invitations were sent out the fiance's aunt asked her sister (the fiance's mom) whether kids were being invited to the wedding. Ken's mom told her sister that they were not. The sister was not too happy with the news, but Ken's mom told her that that was the way it was.
So. . .
Today I got the response card back from the aunt and. . .
She included her two kids (both of whom are under 10) in her number attending.

:brick: :brick: :brick:

I must say she does have brass ones.

And she will not be bringing her kids to the wedding if I have to tell her myself!

Yeah...the general rule of thumb is if the invitation is only listed in the names of the adults, that's who's invited. If it's listed as Mr and Mrs. Soandso and Family, then it is to include the kids.

I feel your pain. My reception was adults only...although I did have 1 family who brought chilren, but we were cleared with them beforehand.

My dad's side of the family is known for holding grudges too - life is too short for that kind of nonsense!

That's right.
The wording on the envelope is how you determine who is invited.
You don't just add people on.

I know...it just sounded really funny coming from you. :lol: :kiss:

It would sound even funnier in person. :dazzle:
I have to be really mad to vent out loud like that.

mpoppins76 said:
Yeah, you really do need to say something, Dot. Someone needs to.

Oh it will be handled.
George asked me what I'd do if she just showed up at the reception with them. I told him I'd tell her we have no seats for them. And we won't.
