So.. I'd love your thoughts on this!!! I just sent out my Save The Dates and had the following exchange via social media with a family member who was invited to the evening and has 2 children under 6. I'm quite shocked that A: Anyone would be so rude let alone a family member and B: Why someone would keep their children up so late! The wedding is 6 months away.. Plenty of time to find a sitter surely?! I have a child who is excluded from plenty of weddings, I don't get upset, I go and enjoy the day, because it's about that Bride and Groom.. not my child!
Jackie:
Helen are my kids invited to evening too
Helen:
Hiya! Sadly no. Just immediate family's - so our children and my nieces and Simon's nieces etc etc. xxx
Jackie:
I'm afraid we won't be coming then hun
Helen:
Such a shame! Shall I send you the actual invite and perhaps you can have a think - get a sitter and come and let your hair down! xxx
Jackie:
I don't live near anyone and I got my kiddies
Helen:
Plus, it's the evening sweetie, it'd be too late to keep them up! You wouldn't take then out clubbing! haha! xxx
Jackie:
Sorry Helen not gonna happen
We will be thinking of u all

Helen:
Ah thanks! xxx
I won't send the actual invite then chicken if you're a definite no. Such a shame, would have been so lovely to have seen you both. Let me know if you change your mind though! xxx
Jackie:
I will hun x
