Thank you note question

Brides with kids- day of the wedding
Lauralou in Planning, on October 29, 2017 at 11:22 AM

How does everyone manage/balance getting ready and having to take care of your kids? I was thinking of just having Fh man them while I go get my hair done and then get ready. What are others doing?

I just had this pop up on my IG feed. Has anyone heard of this or tried it? It says it's an app that allows your guest to upload wedding pictures.
