what to do kids at wedding

Cam, on September 8, 2019 at 7:33 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 11
Here is my issue !!!
I am getting married 9/22 and my 3 year old and 3 month old daughters are my flower girl and I am going to hire a babysitter to watch them during reception either at hotel room or my house .
But I don’t have anyone to transport her to my house or hotel room after the ceremony is over ! I asked my mother and she said no !!
I feel some kinda way

help !!! Am I wrong for asking my mom ???

    Why would your mom want to leave your wedding? I don’t necessarily think it was wrong to ask your mom but if I was her, I would have been under the assumption that you had already figured out what to do with your children two weeks before your wedding.

    Can you just pay the sitter extra to pick them up? Sitters pick up kids from school and sports games, it wouldn’t be that unusual.

    Agreed! I would do the same.. I know we always ask our mommas for help but even if the venue is close she probably doesn’t want to miss any part of your special day

    I mean, I’m sure your mom wants to be there for your wedding instead of playing chauffeur. Can’t you just ask the babysitter to pick them up?

    Yes, your mom should be able to enjoy the wedding. Have the babysitter pick them up.

    Haha I’m having the opposite problem! My mom keeps asking to help! She wanted to serve the buffet and cut/serve the cake! 😰 Like mom you’re a guest too, I’ve got staff for that! She’s going to help me with the centerpieces because she absolutely wants a “job” for the wedding.

    I think it's weird to ask your mom to leave your wedding. Can't you ask the babysitter to attend the ceremony then drive the girls home?
