How does one handle someone bringing a baby to a kids-free wedding?
I didn't know what category to put this in, but my partner and I opted for a totally child-free wedding however we have a guest who has simply decided her grandchild ( a 23week baby) will be coming along - without asking anyone! The parents are invited to the wedding but only one set of grandparents. I know the other set is available to babysit (and would be delighted to) but the guest is simply insisting that the baby will just come along (and note - it's not the mother insisting, it's the grandmother). How do I have a conversation with her or at least my M-I-L (it's her cousin) to let her know that it is our wish NOT to have children attend - and there are other couples that are respecting these wishes! I think it's rude both to us and those guests that have respected our wish to simply assume that this is ok.

4 answersDoes it matter if you don't have an engagement party?
My partner and I got engaged the weekend before Christmas. We both then spent Christmas with our families in separate states and were individually spoilt and fussed over. Is it overly important to have an engagement party as our family and friends are all over the country. Would rather now dive in with wedding planning and save every penny for our wedding...but feeling like we may be missing an important part of being engaged without an engagement party??!

7 answersHow to ask for Wishing Well after invites were sent out
Hi all, I'm having a destination wedding and didn't think about a wishing well when I sent out the invite. Is it too late to organise a wishing well and inform guests now? Or is it too rude considering guests are paying for their own flights and accom. How do I go about it in a nice way without sounding rude?
