Weddingbee boards

I know this is like beating a dead horse, it's been hashed out on these boards many times but I'm really frustrated. My fiance and I sent out our invites a few weeks ago. We formated our RSVP cards to say the name of the guest and a box to check if they're coming or not. I thought it was a fool proof method for our adults only wedding. WRONG!! My cousin called my MOM (whose not even hosting the wedding as it clearly states on the invite) this weekend and asked if she and her sister could bring their kids (4 total) my mom said sure! First off why would my cousin call my mom? Second off HELLO the invite only has your husband and your name on it, why would you call to ask if your kids can come? I told my mom she needed to call her back to tell her no they can't come. She said she wasn't going to do that. *SIGH* Here I am getting ready to start a family battle all because people can't accept a no children guest list. I guess along with this being a vent it's a question as well. Are all you people with children THAT offended when an invite come in for just you and your spouse? Is it not ok to have a night out without the kids? I don't have children. Maybe I'm just don't have any clue at how insensitive I'm being? 

You're not being insensitive, but there are two groups of people out there: the parents with the kids that think their kids are just oh-so-fantastic and well behaved/perfect and therefore just CAN'T BELIEVE you don't want them there and either a. don't have the good sense to let it go or b. make a scene and drag their kids to the wedding w/or w/o an invite, and those that can't believe ANYONE wouldn't just LOVE the sound of a child's laughter at an adult wedding- which in this case, is more likely to be crying :P It annoys the poop out of me, when people get all huffy about it- it isn't their wedding! Do whatever you want at your wedding, but leave your kid at home for mine, and RESPECT the decision! I won't rant or rave about much at my wedding, I just don't care, we're forgoing all traditions in the first place, but if you try to RSVP your child on an "adults only" invitation, you're getting a phone call, lol

Thanks Arineya!
