We had one couple who should have known better not know better. Otherwise, people got it. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 30, 14:50
I would assume not, especially if the kid's name(s) aren't on the invitation, or it didn't say "Conover Family" or something. nmbkelly - JaxSean Jul 30, 14:50 2
- wow. - kelly Jul 30, 14:53 1
  - yep - us too. :) -- nm - Diva Jul 30, 15:17
I would assume kids are not included. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 14:48
no but someone always seems to. -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 14:42
I think you should assume not (it would be addressed to the family if it were intended that way), but people sometimes seem to assume they're included -- nm - pmb Jul 30, 14:41 3
- Yup. This is why we included the seating note. The best was one friend who scratched out the "1" we wrote in and wrote in "2" himself. - musubi Jul 30, 14:44 2
  - ugh. -- nm - Diva Jul 30, 15:17
  - I think this is a lot of it. Some people are just clueless. -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 14:47
No. The names on the invitation indicate who's invited. -- nm - the liioulu with extra bag Jul 30, 14:41
For a formal event, I assume not. (nm) - musubi Jul 30, 14:38 17
- FWIW, for our wedding we had little notes for people we were inviting saying, "We've reserved __ seat(s) for you." - musubi Jul 30, 14:39 16
  - I don't think it's going to be a huge issue since most people knew we weren't inviting kids - but I know of one person who sent the response card back - kelly Jul 30, 14:48 14
    - Some won't be. I know of people who have had issues with it. I had one guest who responded that he was bringing kids which we weren't expecting. - pmb Jul 30, 14:53
    - Most people just don't know. It's good she asked. (nm) - musubi Jul 30, 14:51 9
      - it is. i kinda like this chick. i might flirt with her a little at the reception. -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 14:53 8
        
        She's certainly flirt-worthy. -- nm - kelly Jul 30, 14:54 7
        
        awesome. i posted that and instantly thought "she's going to be insano-huge." -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 14:55 6
        
        My brother would never go for 'insano-huge'. She's a pretty blonde with a huge rack. -- nm - kelly Jul 30, 14:56 5
        
        crap. she can't be too cute or shefox will get pissed. - TFox Jul 30, 14:58 2
        
        Wuss. You should nail her on the table in front of kel's bro and shefox to establish your dominance. (nm) - musubi Jul 30, 14:59 1
        
        this is Tfox. he'll sit meekly at the table and fetch drinks for SheFox. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 15:00
        
        Is this the hairdresser? (nm) - musubi Jul 30, 14:57 1
        
        yes. -- nm - kelly Jul 30, 14:57
    - this is on the list of seemingly unavoidable wedding problems. someone always effs it up. -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 14:50
    - Tell them you can find a babysitter to handle any kid they bring. - the liioulu with extra bag Jul 30, 14:50 1
      - absolutely not. - kelly Jul 30, 14:55
  - that seems smart. -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 14:43
Personally, I assume not. When we were doing our invitations, we made sure to specify the full family size as best we could. - Beryllium Jul 30, 14:37
i would assume unless the invitation expressly stated that the party was adults only -- nm - chuckles Jul 30, 14:36 1
- ^what this says. Just in case. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 14:38
