Not to laugh at your pain, but I'm cracking up over here at the fact that a kid stabbed you in the foot with a fork!!! I guess that one got away from the watchful eye of the parents. Holy mother!! I get both sides of this issue, even though both sides got a little raw on this issue - damn! And I must stick up for the person whose choices were called sad, different isn't sad, it's just different from what you would do.

We had 2 kids - our niece & nephew. Our other guests with kids left them home, we didn't have to ask them to either. They wanted a vacation without responsibility. If they had stayed home to be with their kids, good for them. Less people to feed & the day is about 2 people, the guests are a bonus. I wouldn't be sad. Children can bring an immense amount of joy to any occasion, but I've also seen some ruin the harmony of an otherwise pleasant function. Know your guests, how they handle their kids, and make the choice that is right for you!

Well said Jamy~

I think this thread was taking a turn for the better though, clown bashing, much better then friend judging, and remember girls we are all friends here, supporting each other in ALL of our choices grouphug.gif

Yeah it probably was. Didn't want to recreate the beef, I was just late to this and wanted to give my opinion since 8 pages of other people did.

And if any of you plan to throw me a party, I'm not a fan of clowns either smile120.gif

My DH & I have been invited to many "adult only" receptions. Now that our son is older, I don't mind leaving him quite as much, but when he was younger I'd just pass on the invite when I didn't feel comfortable leaving him with a babysitter. People should understand - it's just a decision that they have to make.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
