I'm not offended if DS isn't invited - I just can't attend. No babysitters. I also think it's a bit rude to ask DH to take 3 days off work, attend a weekday wedding 300-oddkm away from my home and NOT bring a 4-month-old with me. But I couldn't attend that one because DH couldn't get the time off, not because of DS (well, not soley because DS wasn't invited).
I can understand not wanting children around. I HATE having kids running riot, running under tables, making a mess, a noise during speeches... that's the 7-year-olds, mind, not the babies and toddlers!
I had over 150 family attend my wedding and that was with no young children - the young ie under teenage children of my parents' cousins were not invited. Then friends on top of that. It's not a bad thing to want an adult day, especially if you don't have children of your own. But you also have to see that travelling a long distance with a tiny baby just after a car crash and then the baby isn't invited and you have no babysitters you can trust... not going to happen.

Aaaaah, to be in charge of your own guest list! That would mean spending money though.
