I am planning an April wedding. My maid of honor listed three dates that month, two of which were Sundays (the day of the week we planned to marry) that she requested I not choose as the date. Those dates are her little young relatives birthdays. She doesn't want to miss their birthdays by being in my wedding. I told her that I would do what I could, but there's a good chance the wedding might fall on one of the dates she didn't want me to use. My feeling is that I will only get married once, where as her relatives will have birthdays every year, and therefore she shouldn't get all bent out of shape if she has to miss a party. The only problem is that a few other members of her family are invited, and I'm afraid that they may feel obligated to choose the child's party over attendance. How much say should the wedding party really have? I can justify some objections they might have, but its OUR big day, and we have to do it when it works for us, the venue, the caterers, etc.
