[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, just have your husband talk to his brother and say that your whole family is looking forward to the celebration and that your kids will be perfectly fine for an hour or so. And the older kids especially would like to dance be part of the party. It's very reasonable and appropriate.

As a data point, my oldest daughter (5 at the time) was a flower girl for a super fancy destination summer wedding for a cousin. It was at a fancy hotel, ceremony and reception all there. She did all the pre-wedding stuff with my mom/gramdma (so younger two kids were not involved), rehearsal dinner, hair and makeup, etc. For the actual wedding, we had a local babysitter in our room who stayed with the baby for the outdoor ceremony (2.5 year old middle came to that) and then we brought the 2.5 year old to the room with the (adult-teacher during the school year) babysitter (other family member's kids hung out there too).
5 year old did all the post ceremony photos, ate some appetizers at the cocktail hour, drank a shirley temple, stayed for the beginning of the reception, danced a little and then had enough-said she was tired and wanted to go to the room. So we took her to the babysitter. [/quote]

But OPs children are older, and not even invited for a Shirley Temple. And there are no other kids. [/quote]
