Child not invited to wedding

Me and my sons dad have split but his sister is getting married and not having any kids there,
She has asked if he can be there before the actual wedding but isn't invited to wedding as it's no kids,
Is it wrong to not let son go? The way I see it as he is her brothers flesh and blood but not invited but good enough for a few pictures before hand?

I understand the whole concept of no children at weddings but feel it's different when it's family that close?

I find that a bit mean on a child. He goes to the wedding venue, gets excited seeing a new place and people, has a few pics taken. Then Everyone bales inside for the ceremony and put in a car and sent him. Nope, this wouldn't be happening for mine.

Yeah I just feel when he gets older he will question why he wasn't there all day and will see that he was used for photos then had to leave

No, he really, really won't. Don't factor this into your decision making.

Exactly. How would he even know? I have zero idea what weddings took place when i was a child, let alone a toddler.

He really won't, unless you spend his whole childhood telling him "oh Aunty didn't want you there, she just had you to make her photos look better but said you weren't allowed near the celebration". He really won't care / know.

Tell her to do one!

I think it’s fine if he’s not invited to the wedding if no other nieces or nephews are, but to want him to go and be in photos is absolutely bizarre behaviour.

I wouldn’t bother but if she does want photos with him, his father can facilitate that for her.
