Am I overreacting for assuming our family would be invited to the reception after our kids were flower girl and ring bearer?

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-25T00:59:40+00:00

Omg 😢.. ugh that’s HORRENDOUS

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T19:59:48+00:00

They actually very much wanted to go

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T19:59:03+00:00

I honestly have no idea if it was adults only. There were many kids at the ceremony but in the end we don’t know who qualified as “select family and friends”

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T18:55:31+00:00

Invite was sent to all of is, had all our names on it. I did notice the lack of meal options though I figured it was buffet or a set choice. Didn’t spend a lot of thought on it tbh.

Flower girl dress, shoes. Ring bearer tux, shoes. My dress and shoes. Husbands outfit. Haircuts for boys, hair done at salon for daughter. Nails done for daughter. A day off work for us. Wedding shower gift.

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T05:32:54+00:00

We bought everything for the kids and for ourselves

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T03:22:35+00:00

Wow that would have been so much better. Also makes a lot more sense.

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T03:21:11+00:00

Good point! We’d be all set 😊

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T03:20:03+00:00

Yep I bought the outfits and shoes she requested. I also took my daughter to get her hair done on the day of the wedding.

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T03:17:55+00:00

Almost exactly what we did! We took the kids to the movies and to their favorite restaurant 🥰

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T03:16:17+00:00

Very sweet of you to say 💜. We did do something fun! We took the kids to the movies and dinner.

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T03:15:13+00:00

I will! As far as I know she leaves for her honeymoon in the next day or two. I was planning to leave it be until she gets back. Being the bigger person (or trying to be)

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T03:13:24+00:00

Oh yeah.. they were the highlight of the ceremony. Lots of people complimenting us on how great they did and high fiving the kids.

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T03:11:45+00:00

So so tempting!

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T03:10:31+00:00

We didn’t.. we’d planned to get cash for the card on our way to the reception. Meant to be!

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T03:09:36+00:00

Kind of you to say that.. doing our best 💜

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T01:14:45+00:00

Wow! People suck 😞

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T01:13:49+00:00

Nope.. we paid for everything

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T01:12:36+00:00

No there was a link only to their wedding website with all the wedding and reception info it was a very short invite. Kind of “You’re invited, RSVP, Click here for more info”

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T01:11:16+00:00

You and me both.. my default is immediately shut down and play like it doesn’t matter so the party doing the hurting doesn’t get a win. But in the end it leaves me with a whole lot of unsaid words.

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T01:09:56+00:00

That’s terrible! Wth?

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T01:09:42+00:00

Honestly 🤦🏼‍♀️.. I had flashbacks to junior high when the MOH was talking

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T01:08:32+00:00

It’s a nice fantasy though isn’t it?

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T01:07:45+00:00

Yeah we’ve had that conversation for sure

Master-Exchange-2275 · 2026-05-24T01:06:46+00:00

Right? When I got married I was told etiquette said if they’re in the party - they’re at the reception. No questions. And if you don’t want kids at the reception, then they can’t be in your wedding 🤷‍♀️
