[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My favorite way to do this is to split parents. The parent who is related to the couple or knows them best goes, and the parent who doesn’t stays home with the kids. It’s great to have a solo night, it makes travel much easier and cheaper, and a wedding is a great place to go stag. You probably already know people and if not, you can always make friends at a wedding. We do this even if our kids are invited. I don’t want to wrangle my kids at a wedding unless I really have to.

I love getting away to a quick solo wedding, and so does my spouse. Try it! [/quote]

Yes! We are seeing this more and more. It makes so much more sense than airfares for a family of 5, with the kids skipping school for a parent's cousin's wedding the kids barely know.

Also feel free to say no to a wedding. We had to, eventually, at the height of weddings for our cohort. It got to be too much with taking up all our travel budget and leave time, and having to forego other fun longer trips, to dash from a wedding in a random city for the weekend, without even getting travel deals, chaotic.
