[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going to an out of town wedding across the country for DH's sister and bringing our 3 and 1 year old.  We're arriving on Thursday night, wedding is on Saturday.  It's at a venue that's not really set up for weddings, so they've asked us to help pick up all of the tents / chairs / tables and take them to the venue to help set up.   I kind of pushed back on this, saying that we probably wouldn't be available to help because of the kids / [b]visiting with other family [/b]before the wedding.  DH's sister seemed pretty annoyed by this.  It's her wedding, so I don't want to p*ss her off, but am I being unreasonable? Should we figure out a way to help? [/quote]

I bet all the other family are helping with the wedding, too, so I doubt you'll be visiting much unless you're at the venue helping to set up.

Our extended families on both sides are all from small towns.  As soon as I see an invitation that says VFW Hall or Moose Lodge or XYZ Farm, I know that my day before and morning of are going to be spent helping out...and I'm usually there as a cousin or cousin-in-law.  Different strokes for different folks.

In your case, with the little ones, plan on staying at the hotel and send your husband over with the car to do what he can hauling stuff around and setting up.  It is all hands on deck and you either need to support it or stay home.[/quote]
