I'm sorry to say my son is having a 'children not invited' wedding. Bizarre.
Not that Bizarre
nutnurse IMHO.
Both Teeterettes invoked the same rule at their nuptials. And - despite "contributing" - I wouldn't dream of contesting it, even if I disagreed (which I didn't).
Their reasons seemed quite valid.
1. Numbers of "bums on seats" - which the small people still need. Therefore reducing the numbers of big people who can be invited.
2. It moves the invitation list to what they called "another layer of the onion skin" in which the "if we ask their kids, we have to ask theirs and theirs etc etc" conversation ensues. And they have many fertile mates! So numbers rocket.
3. The sensible young parents said: "Great! Dump rugrats on granny and have a (very rare) night away without them!"
4. And they have to be fed (and maybe "minded"). It might only be the equivalent of a MacD "Happy Meal" - but you'll still probably pay £20 a head for it!
Oh! And I was wearing uniform to give the most recent one away - does that qualify for MilAv? (I had my wings on........)
