I think they invited every female on the wedding guest list, regardless of age. The kids seemed to have fun, and there were opportunities for adult chitchat. There was a separate bachelorette party, which I attended - all women on the wedding guest list who were within a few years of the bride's age were invited. (It was rather more fun than the shower. We hit a few bars, and hot men bought us drinks.
)
This is the same bride and groom whose wedding party consisted of the following:
- Maid of honor: bride's best friend from childhood (she was single)
- Best man: groom's best friend (also single, I believe)
- Bridesmaid and groomsman: bride's oldest sister and her husband, with "accompanying baby" (the younger of their two daughters)
- Bridesmaid and groomsman: bride's other sister and her husband, with "accompanying baby" (their only daughter at the time - I think they've had another since)
- Bridesmaid and groomsman: groom's sister and her husband, with "accompanying baby" (their daughter)
- Flower girl: bride's oldest sister's older daughter (2 years old) who got scared during the procession and ran back to mommy
The message was plain: BREED OR ELSE. And breed they did - two little girls. But they seem happy, and that is what is important.
