[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are all these events that you can't bring the kids? You've only mentioned the brunch besides the wedding itself. Why can't the kid sit with any of the grandparents during the ceremony? And you can watch the kids yourself at the brunch. What else is going on?[/quote]

- Welcome party on Thursday night
- Rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, post-rehearsal dinner party on Friday night. For close family and friends, there is also a lunch on Friday (for the women) and separate activity for the guys. 
- Ceremony, reception, after party on Saturday night. During the day on Saturday, DH and I will be with the wedding party because we’re in the wedding. So for me I assume that means hair/makeup starting sometime mid-morning, plus photos at some point etc.
- Big brunch on Sunday morning for all wedding guests[/quote]

You need to bring your nanny, or make it clear to the bride and groom you can not participate at the level they are thinking you will.

My brother had 2 toddlers when I got married.  His MIL (his wife's mom) came and took care of the kids.  She was an angel!  Brought the kids to the ceremony, and then we arranged a car to get her back with the kids to where they were staying since the parents didn't think the reception was a fun idea for them.  I am still thankful she helped out so my brother and SIL could hang out with us and it's been 15 years.[/quote]
