This is not the first time this has happened to us, esp when the hotel is expensive, hence my last statement.

Ya, that’s what I thought too, all relatives welcome. At my wedding, we let everyone (relatives + friends) bring their kids. Except I had some gate-crashers too, a friend (not buddy) brought her entire Church group and occupied a whole extra table and brought no gifts! The nerve of some people !!!

Relatives all welcomed!! As for friends (note: not BUDDIES) – too bad, they just have to come without the kids, not that we don’t welcome them, well, at least,in my wedding case – not enough seats!! REALLY!!

I understand that it’s okay in certain cultures but according to Chinese custom, telling people not to come is considered rude . And quite often, people these days are more interested in trying to recover the cost of the banquet than anything else.

It is a touchy subject that we ran into this past summer when our son got married. At $50 per plate, we had to let a few people know it was not okay to just bring the grandkids.
