how do tell fiance's sister we won't have her daughter in the wedding?

When my fiance and I first got engaged we talked about possibly having his niece (who will be 2 1/2 at the time of our wedding) and nephew (who will be 3 1/2 at the time of our wedding)in the wedding party. After talking about it a bit, we decided (at least I believed we did) that we would rather not have children in the wedding but they will be invited as guests. While his brother is cool with this, his sister hasn't been so "understanding".

His sister still thinks that we will change our minds and has gone ahead and bought a flower girl dress for her daughter and keeps telling us how excited she is. Even after reminding her that we will not be having children in our wedding.

How do I make her understand that we will not be changing our minds, even though we both love her and her little girl? Please help[:)][code]

You have made it clear to her that the child will not be included in the wedding, so now the child has a pretty dress to wear to the wedding. Have your brother reinforce the change to her and let it go.

I agree. Your fiance has some convincing to do.
