“NTA, there. The bride is not mad, and the bride said she was the one who made a mistake, and she was happy to see your kids there,” one user commented. 'There's no problem here. Your sister is angry on behalf of someone who has no problem with it.”

'NTA. It is the responsibility of the couple getting married to communicate clearly about their invitations,” wrote another. “In this case, what they wrote communicated that all children were invited. If she didn't really mean that, that's on her because she's bad at answering invitations.”

'Invitations should always be clear and not leave things up to the guest to guess. Only the woman? Say +1. Only the eldest cousins? Please specify by name,” another added.

As Reddit users debated the man's interpretation of the invitation, etiquette expert Elaine Swann said Fox News digital that she doesn't think the man did anything wrong.

Instead, the California-based lifestyle and etiquette expert said the real mistake was how the bride's mother behaved and the lack of clarity in the invitation.

“When you say 'to the person and the family' you mean their household – so that's mother, father and child,” she pointed out.
