When it comes to creating wedding guest lists, numbers can easily spiral out of control when you factor in partners and kids.

However, when one couple decided to backtrack on inviting children to their big day, one mum was left furious.

The mum took to parenting forum Mumsnet to ask if she was being unreasonable to be fuming at her brother for uninviting her kids from his wedding.

“My kids were told they were invited so were very excited (they are 10 and very sensible so would not be kicking off in the ceremony),” the mum wrote.

“They have never been to a wedding before, there are not other kids in our family so this was a big deal to them.”

She went on to say that they got cut from the wedding because the guest list is too long, so the couple have decided to implement a ‘no kids’ policy which will exclude children on both the bride and groom’s side.

“I know it’s their wedding, they can invite who they like but I feel really sad that my kids will miss the wedding of the uncle they idolise and they will be so disappointed that they now can’t come,” the mum continued.

“I really don’t know whether to tell my brother and his fiancé that it’s quite upsetting or just to pretend we are all fine with it.

Many people agreed with the mum, saying her brother really shouldn’t have invited her children in the first place.

“Uninviting them is just shockingly rude. I don’t know anyone who has had a childfree wedding if they had close children (e.g. nephews and nieces) in the family. Horrible to exclude close family members because they happen to be under the age of 18. (It’s not like they’re babies who won’t care either way),” one person said.

“Talk to your brother, be understanding of his choice, but add that the kids were so excited and he needs to talk to them and have that conversation himself.

He’s chosen to uninvite, he needs to tell those he’s uninviting,” another person said.
