Question:  Is it appropriate to ask that guests with children leave them with a sitter for the ceremony, as long as we provide daycare at the ceremony site? ~Submitted by Lindsay

Answer:  It is appropriate to provide daycare at the ceremony. Give guests the word by enclosing a separate card in their invitations notifying them that a nursery and babysitting services will be provided for children under 6 for example. I'm sure they'll be thrilled and will probably bring along some extra toys to help keep their children occupied. Also, if any of the parents have concerns about the type of care their children will receive, they'll have ample time to contact you about the specifics. You may also have one your RSVP have a spot for childcare and number of children. You will want one childcare provider for every 5-6 children ages 2-6 and one for every 2-3 under two. Make sure your wedding party and family members know that there will be child care services for the children at the wedding so they can spread the word if necessary.
