Only kids at mine were my flower girls and ring bearer. Some people got mad and didn't go, but it's not your job to accommodate them. It's your day.

I think there’s a lot that depends. Are these close friends or cousins you haven’t spoken to in years?

Personally, I had a no kids wedding, but I wish I had made exceptions for babies (under 1 year). I had friends who declined coming to our wedding because they had infants, and in retrospect I would’ve much preferred my friends be there. Plus, babies can’t walk so they’re glued to their parents, they’re super cute in tiny formal wear, and they’re in bed well before things get crazy.

kids until like 8:30/9 and then have a sitter on site to take them elsewhere. but also only limited to family and close friends kids not just everyone

No kids at the reception.

Immediate family only

Only my niece, nephew and the groom's nieces who will be in my bridal party. If a very close friend has a child before the wedding, I'd consider them but would expect guests to arrange childcare on their own.

No kids at the reception

No kids at the reception. But not sure what we will do if relative "shows up" with one, probably highschool age okay.

I’ve heard salaries have gone up quite a bit in the midst of the pandemic and I’m wondering if this is true for EAs as well. There’s a myriad of data online about EA salaries depending on age/experience but I’m interested in salaries from jobs accepted in 2020/2021 specifically!

Please feel free to share:

- Your salary from any job accepted in 2020/2021
- Any offers you may have received but rejected
- Your length of experience

Thank you!

Help- my SIL showed me two dresses she rented for my shower, and I think they are super bridal/not very appropriate to wear as a guest or bridesmaid. I have asked others and they agree.

I feel really down but also don’t want to start WW3 by saying something to her. I feel like I now need to rush to buy a new outfit.
