^ and i would find that pretty rude and frustrating as a host. if it says Mr. and Mrs., it says so for a reason. don’t attend if you are unable to respect the invitation!

also, i don’t think adult-only weddings are boring at all- it gives adults a chance to mix, mingle and chat without worrying about what jr. is up to and if missy has had her dinner. sorry to say, but if the guests are just sitting there just staring at each other then its probably because they’re boring people to begin with! OR the hosts should take some time to map out a seating chart and pair people with common interests together so they don’t get bored but thats another topic.

^ O.M.G. I wish more people thought like you when it comes to this!

If invites are sent out for a wedding to couples only (ie. no kids included)…well guess what…the guests don’t have to like it! If a couple does not want to attend a wedding without their children, then they have every right to decline the invitation. But it amazes me when guests think somehow they and their children are ENTITLED to be invited, and impose on the hosts by bringing in uninvited guests. It shows a total lack of manners and respect (self-respect and respect for the hosts).

Adults-only weddings are boring if someone chooses to make them boring. I have never attended a wedding where I didn’t know a single person. All desi weddings I attend have tables assigned and I always end up with people I know OR people I end up having something in common with. And I have also never attended a single wedding where I didn’t meet new people. I assume every parent had a social life BEFORE the kids were born, and managed to have conversations with other adults. Its not like the skills required to socialize with other adults suddenly dissappear when you become a parent.
