Hi - in desperate need of a solution!
We sent out invitations in October for our February wedding. The only thing we requested was that there be no children at the event; however, we have offered to pay for a professional service to come to the Airbnb guests are staying at and watch their children for the duration of the event. Last night, my husband's sister called saying that his brother-in-law was no longer attending the wedding because he has to stay home with their child. Needless to say, my husband is incredibly upset. Both SIL and BIL are supposed to be in the wedding party. We have offered many different variations but they are refusing to leave their child "alone" for any period of time. The venue won't allow child care on-site.
We want our families to be part of the event and the three of them have been close, but we also would like our wishes respected to enjoy our night.
How can we fix this to keep everyone happy??
