What about your FG and RB? Are their parents going to leave early so the kids can go to bed?

a few of my cousins weddings had a seperate room provided at the hall and a babysitter to watch them. Now these people make a ton of money and can afford that.
I wouldn't stress it out - just say no kids like i did

I would definitely do a babysitter. It sounds like it woudld save you a lot of money!! I remember a few girls posting last year on here asking if any bride would be interested in making extra money. That might be an option. Hey i'd do it![]()

i am having the same issue. I'm trying to look into it and feel confused as to what to do.
I did just find out though that we have access to the bridal suite for the entire night -so we can hire someone to stay with the YOUNG kids in there....but WHO?????

We are having one of my brothers girlfriends friends stay at the hotel with another friend and watch the 6 kids that are coming in from out of town that are not invited to the wedding.
But if they are not OOT'ers than I do not think it is your responsibility to provide babysitting.
thats the problem, a decent amount are oot'ers and the 8-9 kids i was talking about, they are coming here and staying the night
In that case I would definetly get a babysitter for the oot'ers children and have your parents explain that babysitting will be provided at the hotel if they needed but that no children are coming to the wedding.

ok thats the thing lol, i said that we HAVE to let just the kids in the bp, which is only 2 young kids and we have a junior bridesmaid but she is 12...i just figure they're in the bp so its a bit different and not to mention that for our FG and RB, not only are the parents of the kids coming but the grandparents of the kids and other family members.

hey denise
we are having about a dozen kids - aged 4-14 - they are all of our nieces and nephews
my sister's regular babysitter is going to be there, at the party with them and can take them back to the hotel room if and when they are tired or when my sister tells her to
our wedding ends at 130 also and i know they wont make it the whole night

yeah i was thinking about the bridal suite and then its also the issue of a baby sitter staying that late but im sure some would.
Are there any teenage kids in your neighborhood who babysit for alot of kids around your way? i guess i can look into this
i dont agree with this

Is it out of the question to NOT invite the kids? Just sent the invites to the adults (Mr & Mrs XYZ) and if they question it then let your parents deal with the issue? I'm just worried that if you hire sitters than how are you going to explain to the parents to bring the kids but that they can't actually come to the wedding itself?
well thats the plan, the parents said they will let everyone know...i just felt bad about a few ppl, our oot guests. Now it makes even harder that the kids were told they are going to our wedding but ill tell fh to talk to his parents about it and see what they say now
Yeah, you can't feel bad about that though. They should never have opened their mouths until they were sure. People should never assume things when it comes to weddings. It's like promising a kid a cookie...you better not do it unless you're 100% sure there's a cookie there somewhere....![]()
I was just going to say this too. They shouldn't assume that their kids will be invited.
yes to sit at the table with them but the 8 and 9 and 10 year olds will be fine

so do you have just 1 babysitter for all of them?
I think im gonna have my mom ask this lady she knows about more info and around how much she would charge. I know she also needs the money so i would like to hire her to help her out

I live in Jersey - i don't live in NY anymore - and two of the kids will be VERY young (barely 2) - so i can't trust a teenager with them the way I would with kids 5-10....

yeah very true, thats why i prefer to hire this lady who has kids of her own and has done this for weddings before, a teenager is a little different when theyre so young.
There has to be some type of service for something like this, ill look up info and let you know if i find something. Ill look more into it when i get home
LOL hey this could be a new business to start LOL
