Would you be annoyed if you invited a guest to your wedding and they chose to invite their children without your consent?

I am having a smallish wedding. I’ve invited people i am close to, love and care about and know that they will enjoy celebrating this special day with me. All of my siblings are living, not married, with a bf/gf. All the bf/gf have kids of their own. Eventhough i put on the wedding invites simply my sibling and their significant other they’re all bringing the whole family which equals 8 extra kids which i am not close to at all. I think its rude they just assume the kids have an invisible name written next to theirs on the invite. Am i wrong?

Answer #1

You’re not wrong - it is extremely rude to assume an invite. Etiquette dictated that only the names of the people on the invite are invited, and guests have no right to extend that invitation at will.

Answer #2

No, you are not wrong.

I would be quite annoyed as well. Maybe you could sit down with them and tell them the way you feel and you never know, they might understand :)
