[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]

I think you just muddle through it all with the kids in tow. With your parents there, they can trade off watching kids while you eat and chat. Then you leave early from the events with the kids. Really, you just need to put in an appearance with the kids at every event, then you can bow out and leave your DH there. My guess is they mainly want to see him anyway. Doubt anyone will notice if you miss the post-rehearsal party etc.

the only exception is the wedding ceremony. for that, I think you do need a solid plan for your parents or other sitter to watch kids while you do makeup and photos.

really with your parents there, this is doable albeit stressful! [/quote]
