My brother is getting married out of state. They are having a nighttime wedding; no children allowed at the wedding or dinner the night before. I respect this decision and do not plan to bring our kids to any wedding function. We are making arrangements for the kids to be taken care of at the hotel. We did plan to bring our kids to the city and make a family trip out of it. We have 3 days after the wedding to tour/sight see. Because the bride has her own kids, and they will not be at wedding, the bridal couple is asking us not to bring our kids on the trip at all. They do not want their kids to find out other kids were in city. Out of respect for the bride's and groom's wishes we have decided not to attend. Isn't it a little overboard to request that children shouldn't even be brought to the destination city?

It really wouldn't be fair to judge. But, the couple has no right to dictate with whom their guests travel. As hosts, they only have the right to dictate who can attend their events. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
