I need some advice...

Original post by lmr2282

Ok so about having flower girls and ring bearers in the wedding... My sister(who is my bestfriend) has twins. These girls are my heart and I love them and want them to be in the wedding. My FSIL has a son who is 2 now and and my nephew (brothers son) is the same age. I would love to do 2 girls with the 2 boys. Here's the thing, FSIL lives in FL and I dont want to have the children at the RH. How do I break this to her. And what is everyone doing as a cut-off age at the wedding. FH and I are having some disagreements on NO CHILDREN at the RH. My sister totally understands, so please help.

That is tough. I also don't want to have children at the wedding, but I am allowing my flower girl and ring bearer. My ring bearer is my sister's son, and my sister doesn't want him at the reception, so she is going to find someone to watch him. Can you find a friend's mom or a sibling's friend or someone to watch the children at a nearby location? For my brother's wedding, we had my friend come pick up my nephew after the ceremony. It worked out great!

The only children we will have is immediate family children which comes out to my sister's 4 children only and at the wedding they will range in age from ages 8-16.

Here's my situation...my sister's kids are in my wedding. We don't really want children so FH has an aunt with children also. I thought we could get a babysitter for all 4 of them. Maybe one of FBIL's friends, for the evening. Send them home after CH or pictures? I think this is what we're going to do.

We're doing children att CHURCH and CH after that we have set up babysitters/2nd cousins to take my 6 nieces and nephews. We're having a huge after party at my parents so their gonna take the kids there. And my sis and theor husbands and kids will spend the night. But you could just have your FSIL pick the kids up afterwards from somewhere or have the babysitter right in her hotel room. Check out your local places of worship or in penny saver for babysitters if you have no 2nd cousins

The only children that will attend my wedding is the ones in the bridal party.
