Attending a family wedding is always fun and, dare we say, filled with a bit ofdrama.
Especially when unexpected rules come into play.
The mother of a 4-month-old had already booked flight tickets and an Airbnb when she discovered the policy.
From venue fees to catering and decorations, the costs can add up really quickly.
To save money on their wedding day, couples often get creative with their budget.
Many choose to forgo traditional flower arrangements in favor of more cost-effective options or evenDIY bouquets.
Some couples save on catering; otherslimit the guest list.
Just like this particular post, there are people who choose not to have kids at their ceremony.
People are making their own choices instead of having their parents plan their weddings.

Additionally, parents might have to skip on events to calm the kids or entertain them.
Also, there will be no shrieking toddlers tointerrupt your vows, toasts, and speeches.
Sometimeswedding venues, especially outdoor ones, are not suitable for kids.
If theres a pond or lake without railings, it could be a safety issue.
However, there are also some downsides when it comes to having an adults-only celebration.
You might offend moms and dads by not allowing them to bring their little bundle of joy.
Youll also find yourself in awkward conversations trying to defend your decision.
Additionally, new moms who exclusively breastfeed their babies cant be gone for too long.
Of course, its entirely up to the bride and groom on who they want to invite or not.
