[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your nanny is probably the best option (or a parent, as PP said).  Or is there a younger cousin or niece/nephew in their late teens/early 20s who will be in town for the wedding but doesn't have a major role who could help (for pay, but not as much as paying all of the nanny OT)?[/quote]

Unfortunately no. DH’s family is tiny. I could potentially fly my own sister out, it just feels like a big ask for her to take time off work even if I pay all of her expenses.[/quote]

Skip some of the events.  Ask your sister and maybe she can fly out on Friday leaving Sunday and you just go to the actual wedding but DH goes to everything else.

This happened to me and my husband flew out early and we had our nanny who was going to babysit for 24 hours basically.  Coming Saturday morning and my husband and I would fly back 6 am Sunday morning (and miss the brunch event why weddings have so
Many events now is beyond me) but my flight got cancelled and my nanny ended up being sick so I had to skip the wedding.  Stuff happens and people who don’t have kids don’t recognize the juggling until they have kids…[/quote]
