Ok I will cut the very long story short. I have a BIG family, H2b has very small. We ummed and arred over max numbers to go with our budgets and guests we could/couldn't (afford) to invite.
His 1 and only auntie doesn't speak to her mum (H2b nanna) but we thought as he is inviting all her children and partners (his cousins, all over the age of 20) it was only right to invite her.
H2b received a text msg about a week ago to ask if kids were invited. Reply was not to the ceremony and day as it works out at too much of a cost to invite everybodys children. But welcome to the night. We then receive an RSVP in the post with a decline from his auntie and a msg at the bottom reading "because you aren't allowing children, i will not attend" (she has no dependant children) No further explanation by phone, txt or email (my email has been put on the invite for people to reply to. And no further explanation from any of the cousins (to explain their mum is babysitting their children) and no RSVP from them yet.(I know there is still lots of time)
I just feel it;s rude, H2b has dismissed it and said he "isn't arsed" but i can't help feeling it's very rude, especially with her knowing she is his only "auntie?"
