[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will never understand why people who hire babysitters so they can go on date nights and out their kids on day care all week get bent out of shape because they can't take their kids along to a wedding for a few hours. Hire a friggin baby sitter. It's not a big deal.[/quote]

At a hotel?  No.  Op says a lot of people have to travel.[/quote]

Yes. Ask people who live locally for recommended baby sitters. Why people think their are entitled to bring kids to their weddings is beyond me. It's bizarre - people leave their kids with baby sitters all the time but for an event like a wedding that just CANT be away from them for four or five hours?[/quote]

It’s not one event and it’s not just the babysitter. It’s paying for plane tickets for my kids, finding and hiring a nanny for the welcome party and ceremony/ reception- usually kids are invited to the brunch the following day. It’s dragging my kids to another city to just hang out at a hotel.

Their wedding, their choice. Your kids, your choice. [/quote]

+1.  It’s spending thousands to spend a weekend mostly away from your kids.   A babysitter at a hotel is typically $25 plus an hour.  Not to mention plan tickets for your kids for an event they can’t attend.

I actually understand why they don’t want kids at the wedding but they also need to understand why people may decline to attend. [/quote]

This. I am not leaving my kids with a sitter I don't know. I would just decline. [/quote]
