***update*** I called her (to try and avoid any weird text miscommunication) and suggested that perhaps my DD and the other flower girl could share a meal since neither of them could eat a whole meal. She said that they weren't planning on feeding the kids and figured they could just eat off our plates and snack. She said, "we are going to have a big candy buffet so they can eat that too."

So, I guess that's that.


My DD (4) is going to be a flower girl in a wedding in a month. DH is the best man. We sent the RSVP in with our dinner choices for my DH and I but there was no "line" for my DD. I didn't think anything of it at the time. Probably my mistake there...

The bride just texted me because she lost our RSVP and needed to know our dinner choices. I texted her back with our choices and then asked if there was going to be an option for DD. The three choices are salmon, goat cheese stuffed chicken or mushroom ravioli. It is a sit down meal. Not super kid friendly but DD would eat the chicken without any problem at all.

I just got a text back saying, "You can just bring something in for her."

I am trying hard not to be irritated but it isn't working very well. It is weird for me to expect that there would have been some kind of food option for DD? I know that they are wanting her there because they have a little thing that they want the two girls to do to help introduce them at the reception. I know that there is no way she could eat a whole plate but shouldn't there be some kind of option.

I am not going to make a stink about it. It wouldn't be appropriate or helpful. I will just bring something for DD because goodness knows a hungry child (especially on a crazy day like a wedding) is a recipe for disaster. It just kind of rubs me the wrong way I guess.

My daughter was a flower girl at the same age and was supplied with a meal.

I had two flower girls, and we supplied them with meals.

When you invite someone as a guest to a meal, you supply them with a meal. It is rude to invite your daughter but tell you to bring in food for her.

I would just share my meal and give her extra rolls as well - as expensive as wedding meals are - as a mom I'd just make do -

Eta - I do think she should do something since she's the flower girl ! Somehow I missed that when I first read that .

She is a little insensitive but that's what I'd do as a parent.

It would rub me the wrong way as well. I would probably respond with something like, "no worries about special accomodations for her...she'll have the chicken." You can go to the expense of her being the flower girl, but they can't go to the expense of a meal for her? I don't think so.

I wonder if she was thinking that you were indicating that none of the choices were appropriate for your DD so she was sort of saying "if none of those are ok then you can just bring her something" rather then saying she wouldn't provide a meal.

I don't know....just trying to give her the benefit of the doubt on that one.

I think she believes that the options available (3 main choices) aren't something your daughter would eat, so then suggested that you bring something in if she wouldn't eat the choices given. That's how I would read the messages back and forth. If your daughter will eat the chicken, why not just go with this option?

Maybe she took that as daughter wouldn't eat any of the choices? So her option was for you to bring something she wold eat? If that's the case I would explain that your daughter will eat the chicken and can she please be included in the meal options.

You should be irritated with the information you have at this point. If she is part of the wedding, she should definitely be part of the reception. If she is invited to the reception, she should be given food.

I think that you should call her and talk with her about this. Texting is not really a good way to resolve a conflict.

The bride needs to arrange with the caterer to have several simple versions of the meal available for children or guests who have a sudden allergy to something on the menu.

That's what I was thinking too. If you worded it as "option for DD" then I would have interpreted that as being something different than one of those choices.

I can understand how she may not be providing a kid friendly option, but I do agree that your daughter should be at least provided a meal if is something she will eat.

My response to the bride probably would have just been that you were just checking to make sure there wasn't a smaller meal that she had planned for her and that since there isn't, your DD will be happy with the chicken.

But I'd take something just in case . . .

I think "she thought you wanted a special meal" would be a better explanation if there had been a line on the RSVP card for the child to pick an entree. Since there wasn't, I am guessing that is not what is going on here, but go ahead and contact her to follow up.

I would write back and say "actually she would eat the chicken just fine if there is one availabe for her " don't know, maybe that is a faux pas but it would be hard not to say it.

Hmm.. I hadn't thought about the way I worded it but we have spent a lot of time and DD is a pretty good eater which they know. I should have probably been a little forward or direct but I know she is super stressed and I didn't want to come off rude myself. She is not super great with kids, much more the groom's friend, so she probably didn't even think about it.

I will just plan on bringing something with and having it in hotel room. There is a cocktail hour between the ceremony and the reception that maybe DD and I can sneak up the room to give her a snack and then we can share my plate during the reception.

Thanks for the perspective. It really isn't a big deal and I am sure no one will go hungry. I was just kind of surprised.

That was actually my first thought as well. More of a texting miscommunication than "no food" for your DD.

This is how I would have taken it if I were the bride. Pick a meal for your dd.

Give the bride the benefit of the doubt about not meaning to offend you but just not thinking.

Call her back and tell her your dd would like the chicken. I don't think she's intending to slight you.

I would be irritated. at my brother's first wedding, our kids were young (elem age) and we were asked if they would like something other than what the rest of us were getting for dinner. The bride offered to have hamburgers or something else made for the kids if they wanted. they weren't in the wedding, but it was a nice touch.

I think the bride should talk to her caterer and see if they can make a kid friendly meal, maybe the chicken without the cheese stuffing, or some other kid friendly pasta dish. If it is using some of the same ingredients shouldn't be a big deal imo, but it almost sounds like she doesn't want to pay the "per plate" fee for a 4 year old.

The way you worded it makes it sound like the three options provided were unacceptable.

If she'll eat the chicken, tell the bride the chicken is fine. Then you don't have to go through the hassle of bringing something.

If she won't eat any of the options, bring something she will eat.

I wouldn't expect a hall to make a special meal just for her, especially if there are only a couple small children attending.

I disagree with the idea that the bride needs to provide a special meal for a child. She should definitely provide a meal to the child, provided it's one of the meals she's already providing to all her guests.

*I* thought you meant would there be something different for your daughter. I can't see any bride having flower girls attend the reception but not provide them with food. It just doesn't make sense.
She misunderstood your question - as many of us here did.

Knowing she is a pretty good eater they probably expected she would eat one of the three choices but you threw a monkey wrench in by asking about the options for dd as though she wouldn't eat any of the previously listed options... meaning what is the fourth option.

Why didn't you just say "I'll have x, h will have y and dd would like the z" THEN if bride said "oh we aren't providing meals for the kids" you'd be right to be in a fizz.

Instead you said "I'll have x, h will have the y and what do you have for dd? Ignoring the x,y or z as possibilities for her. So now a stressed out bride has to come up with a 4th child option she wasn't planning on.

I think it's time to pick up the phone and call the bride. Your irritation my just be a misunderstanding.

If you don't want to do that, just text back that your DD will have the chicken.

ETA: After reading your update... All kinds of tacky! Don't invite people to your wedding (or have them be a part of the wedding party) if you don't want to fork over the money to feed them!

We had two small children in our wedding. We had kid options just for them that cost us a whopping $10/plate.

most catering company will give a discount on children meal and help meal. Most brides do not think of it.

However if the couple did not at least give my child a basic meal we would not be attending the wedding. After putting out the money for flower girls dress and dh formal wear I would not be happy.

With your up date. I would let them know our family will not be attending. hope it is in time for you to get the money back for the formal wear and travel.

Someday when she becomes a mother, she will realize what clueless nutjob bride she was...
I would truly attribute this to not being a parent. I would almost bet money that the caterer told her "4 year olds? Save yourself some money and let them eat off mom's plate, they don't eat much and it's crazy to pay me $75 a plate for kids that age." I wouldn't be too hard on her - she probably thinks it's a cool thing to have a candy buffet for 4yos (heh, heh) and yes, she'll be horrified when she's a mom herself or hangs around mommies a lot someday. If she even remembers. Which she probably won't.

Wow, your update made me . Does she really expect you to share your meal? I'm my experience wedding meals are not that big and I don't eat much. I would stop at BK, KFC or McDonalds (or other fast food) and bring the bag into the dining room and ask the waitstaff for a plate.

Just wondering, will there be a place for her to sit? Or does she have to sit on your lap or the floor?

Oh, I will definitely take the high road and just bring something. It is in everybody's best interest! It will be interesting what the other mother says as she is one of the bridesmaids and a lifelong friend.

I will say it does sting since we are shelling out quite a bit to be a part of this. We didn't know how much that would really be when DH first agreed to be the best man, but that's life I guess.

But you all are right, she will realize someday when she has a kid how crazy what she is saying is.


"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." Melody Beattie

I would truly attribute this to not being a parent.


I would agree. I know I made my own fair share of dumb-arse comments and decisions that were based on ignorance before having kids.

I'm irritated for you! It's really rude to not feed a member of your bridal party, child or not.

I'm not buying the fact that just cuz she's not a mom that she gets a pass.

Most of us were brides before we were mothers, and a lot of us had little ones in the wedding party....but I haven't seen one person say they didn't order anything for the junior members of the wedding party.

We ordered kid food for the flower girls and page boys and it sounds like everyone else did too. This bride is either clueless, or cheap. Either one is bad.

Tell her that of course you will provide the meal for your daughter. Just ask her to put you in touch with her caterer so you can repurpose the money for her wedding gift on a plate for your child.


Happiness looks good on everyone!
