[quote=Anonymous](1) She's not invited to the ceremony?  That's bonkers, and pretty much demonstrates that she's nothing but a prop here.  Zero effort has been made to accommodate or include her.

(2) The bride's mother is not going to want to babysit a three-year-old she's never met during her own daughter's wedding reception.  She's going to want to greet guests, talk to friends, take photos, have a drink, etc.  (Just like your ex and his wife.)  I bet she doesn't even know that the ex volunteered her as a babysitter.

(3) I might offer to bring her, but not to drop her off.  She can come if a babysitter she knows stays with her.  If that's not okay, then she doesn't come.  You can frame it as a favor to the couple and the bride's mom.

(4) She's not going to miss anything, and the odds are pretty good that this marriage doesn't last anyway, so it's unlikely that she'll be asking you someday why she wasn't as this wedding.  On the other hand, one late night isn't going to hurt her all that much.  If your husband will agree to having an actual babysitter stay with her and take her out promptly at the end of the hour, I'd agree to let her go.
