re: Wedding invite etiquette

quote:

---

Got invited to a friend's wedding. Does not say my name and guest. Would it be wrong to bring a date?

Yes. An invite will specify if you are allowed to bring a guest.

You know, I really try to like you, but your arguing style is the worst I've ever seen.

Why is it so hard to admit that some weddings are suited for children?

Some parents, man.

Here I am thinking, "Man, get the kids together, order pizza and get movies, hire a fun sitter.. sounds like a blast"
And the parents are worrying about their precious tot at a wedding.

All of those very valid (though you seem to not agree) reasons aside, some people just don't give a shite about your kid and don't want them there--even if they're free of charge and good and fine around drunk people. Just like they don't want OP's random plus one.

Don't be a dick. They're standing by the stage where the speaker is blasting so loud from the band that we couldn't even hear each other when yelling. If you think that's where a newborn (I mean, the kid was still discolored like a newborn) should be, I have no words.

Huh?

The guy said hours ago "depending on the circumstance" which made it quite clear that he wasn't blanketing all weddings.

It's just another wording fail on your part. You should have had "not" in your question.

quote:

People like you don't know what's best for parenting.

But we know what's best for our wedding receptions, which is what this is all about, isn't it? It isn't all about the kids (which I do feel shouldn't be around drunk people), but about other people who have to change their actions because children are present. I wanted people to have a good time and not worry about their kids or other peoples kids being around them.

Right, and I've said that from the beginning of this thread. I just don't agree with your assertion that a reception is nothing more than a bar and that's why children shouldn't be there.

Who says I'm being a dick. I made a statement. Here's a newsflash. People like you don't know what's best for parenting. You've said a whole lot how you're not all that jazzed about being a parent, then you're going to sit here and act like you know what's best for a child?

---

Here's a newsflash: People who are fricking parents can't even agree on how to parent. Obviously, you think you're the best parent ever because YOU ALL DO. But plenty of parents would disagree with both you and me. Everyone thinks their parenting is the only way.

I don't need a sex trophy to know that I PERSONALLY DO NOT BELIEVE that a nighttime wedding is a place for a baby. Like you said, I'm entitled to my opinion. So how about for 5 minutes you stop contradicting yourself and saying I am not entitled to that opinion?

You can think whatever you want, but people who don't want kids at their weddings will continue to not invite them. If it's an issue, stay home and watch Frozen.

I won't lose any sleep over someone acting like you when my time comes. Argue all you want about people's reasoning.. they are still allowed to decide whatever they want for their own wedding. Considering you argued about the +1, I find it odd your opinion turns opposite when it's about a kid.

I never said you aren't. I disagree with it. Is that not allowed?
