My sister is in the works of planning her own wedding and she has decided to have an adult only reception. She wants the adults to be able to have fun and not worry about what their kids or someone elses kids are doing. She is expecting for some of the parents to say they will not attend or have babysitting issues but she is sticking firm and i think you should too. This is your day not your sisters, her kids are old enough to be with a babysitter or by themselves and behave. To get to the point I would explain to your sister that no other kids will be there and you hope she can make arrangements and be able to come celebrate with you and the adults. Good luck!

Thanks for the support. Not sure what is going to happen, she has threatened to not come if kids can't, we'll have to see. I am sticking to my guns though.

Hi, first of all she should not be threatening at all and should have consulted with you before she went ahead and purchased the dresses....

If you are open to having the girls there.....do you think they can handle a small task...maybe assist the the person incharge of handing out the programs for your wedding....?

As far as the reception....tell your sister she will have to sit with her children.

Best wishes to you. Congratulations and bravo for sticking to your guns, lol.
