I am hoping that my MIL and FIL can help when DH is up there along with his sister and BIL but I dont know. Im a little nervous and we might just end up outside I think but who knows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wedding-wrangling#post-1611710 Sun, 04 May 2014 12:36:53 +0000 heffalump 1611710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd just sit on the end in the back so we could step out if needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wedding-wrangling#post-1611653 Sun, 04 May 2014 11:32:21 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1611653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beyond2: I just recently went through this (2 weekends ago!). DH was best man in a wedding 8 hours away (by car), so it was going to be me solo parenting two kids - they are 14 months and 3 years 4 months. </p> <p>We decided to take the older one and leave the younger one with the grandparents, so at least my ratio was 1:1. Would it be a possibility for you to leave at least one of the kids with someone? In your case, I'd consider leaving the older one since the baby would only be 8 weeks old and you can baby wear the whole time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wedding-wrangling#post-1611339 Sun, 04 May 2014 07:39:02 +0000 wonderstruck 1611339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm no help, I leave LO with his grandparents unless it's a close family wedding. I much prefer having a night to get out with my DH and dance, see friends, etc., than worry about baby and leave early because of bedtime.</p> <p>My nephew was almost 2 at my wedding and his mom was a bridesmaid. The dad ended up having to walk him around outside the ceremony space because he was super hyped up and definitely would have interrupted stuff. Honestly, I'd consider a babysitter, at least for the older child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wedding-wrangling#post-1610879 Sat, 03 May 2014 16:31:49 +0000 junebugmama 1610879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to agree. I would get a babysitter or skip the ceremony </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wedding-wrangling#post-1610813 Sat, 03 May 2014 14:13:22 +0000 Weagle 1610813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Babysitter. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wedding-wrangling#post-1610809 Sat, 03 May 2014 14:09:31 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1610809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>iPad iPad iPad. </p> <p>I was in my brothers wedding last summer. Chloe was 20 months, I think. All she wanted to do was run around, which wasn't appropriate or possible at certain times.</p> <p>The ceremony was also during her nap. In hindsight, I wish my husband and C would have skipped the ceremony and gone straight to the reception instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wedding-wrangling#post-1610805 Sat, 03 May 2014 14:03:09 +0000 Beyond2 1610805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any tips? DH is in a friends wedding. At that time We'll have a' 21 month old and an 8week old. Kids are invited but I'll have to solo parent while DH does wedding duties. I'll probably wear the 8 week old but does anyone have tips to keep the 21 month old happy? He's a high strung kid... </p>
