[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I get it. My FSIL invited by DD, who will be around 2 then  to be the flower girl. But, she’s not invited to the ceremony or reception. What do they think I’m supposed to do with her?

It's called a "babysitter"[/quote]

NP.  But why have children in the ceremony if you don't actually want them there?  This is different than saying "no children" period.  Think about it - after the DD walks up the aisle as the flower girl, PP would immediately have to leave the ceremony with her (right after it starts) to go meet the babysitter and get her DD settled, which may or may not go well as the child is only 2. What's the point of even having the DD there for 5 minutes?  Utterly ridiculous.  If you don't want kids at the ceremony, then don't have them in the wedding party.  I really think some brides and grooms lose all common sense when it comes to weddings.

PP - if it were me, I'd just take DD home/back to hotel after her flower girl stint was over and not bother returning to any of the wedding festivities. Or have DH stay with DD, depending on whose sibling is getting married.[/quote]

You do know the OP and her husband were free to decline the role of flower girl for their daughter, yes? Don't say yes to something that doesn't work for you. Saying yes to a commitment and than bitching and whining about said commitment is stupid. No one forced anyone to do anything. They can ask/invite/cajole, even guilt trip: but at the end of the day, you are responsible for what you say yes to. (NP)[/quote]

You are missing the point.  Why have children be in the wedding party if the couple doesn't want children at the ceremony or reception?? Makes no sense.  Instead of being reasonable about it, the couple is putting family members/friends with kids in the wedding party in a difficult spot: either refuse to let your child be in the wedding party and risk offending the couple, or deal with the couple's ridiculous demands about no kids at the ceremony (aside from the 5 minutes that the kids are allowed to be there to walk up the aisle of course).  Besides, it's entirely possible that the couple did not communicate their desire for no kids until after PP committed her DD to being the flower girl.

As for bitching and whining after the fact, you do know that this is DCUM, right??  [/quote]
