However we are very fortunate to be around our family and have potential babysitters on hand so it makes those types of decisions easier for us to make.

I'd prefer to be able to attend as a family but I really don't mind. dookie32 on "Do you get offended if LO isn't invited?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-offended-if-lo-isnt-invited#post-802865 Thu, 23 May 2013 09:15:45 +0000 dookie32 802865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No- I had a kid-free wedding and it was for a reason. I know there are people that disagree with this but I think there are just some occasions that are not for kids. I understood if people couldn't come because they didn't have a sitter.

Plenty of time to find a sitter. rachiecakes on "Do you get offended if LO isn't invited?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-offended-if-lo-isnt-invited#post-802704 Thu, 23 May 2013 08:24:11 +0000 rachiecakes 802704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Their choice. They just have to be understanding if that changes our RSVP and we have to decline. Sometimes travel + outfit/gift + babysitter = just not in the budget for us and it would be better for us to decline and send a nice gift. littlek on "Do you get offended if LO isn't invited?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-offended-if-lo-isnt-invited#post-802677 Thu, 23 May 2013 08:14:59 +0000 littlek 802677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No. It's nice to have a date night.

We have no family nearby either.

We were just invited to an adults only wedding and couldn't find a sitter. We agreed my husband would go himself-- it's his friend getting married.

I also understand that some of my friends aren't baby crazy/don't want Kids. Luckily I have family nearby to babysit but if I didn't I'd probably have to RSVP no. lomom on "Do you get offended if LO isn't invited?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-offended-if-lo-isnt-invited#post-801905 Wed, 22 May 2013 18:55:40 +0000 lomom 801905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I completely understand not wanting kids at a wedding (I had a no kid wedding). Thankfully DH agreed to stay home with LO so I can go see my two close friends get married :) sorrycharlie on "Do you get offended if LO isn't invited?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-offended-if-lo-isnt-invited#post-801888 Wed, 22 May 2013 18:46:54 +0000 sorrycharlie 801888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not offended - we were invited to a wedding in Aug and my entire family is going. So, all the babysitters I trust. Which means we are RSVPing no. And we are getting serious attitude about it. So THAT part annoys me. autumnlove on "Do you get offended if LO isn't invited?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-offended-if-lo-isnt-invited#post-801875 Wed, 22 May 2013 18:41:05 +0000 autumnlove 801875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm never offended about stuff like that.

If we can get babysitting, then it's a night out for us! If we can't get babysitting then, we can't and it's all good. heffalump on "Do you get offended if LO isn't invited?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-offended-if-lo-isnt-invited#post-801863 Wed, 22 May 2013 18:36:06 +0000 heffalump 801863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No. I just say no if I can't arrange childcare. But I haven't had that issue yet.

They don't mean anything against your kids, they just want it to be adults only. lomom on "Do you get offended if LO isn't invited?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-offended-if-lo-isnt-invited#post-801854 Wed, 22 May 2013 18:30:48 +0000 lomom 801854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Like to a wedding or something? I don't but arranging child care might cause me to RSVP no (we don't have any family in the area and he's too young to leave with anyone other than family).
