PSA - babysitting for wedding

texgal79

We are having adults only at the ceremony/reception, and almost everyone's from out of town; therefore I've been searching around for information on babysitting services to send to our guests that have kids (we have about 15 couples who are considering whether to get a sitter or schlep them off on parents.) 
For those of you  - especially out-of-towners - needing to provide recommendations to guests for babysitting services, or hire sitters for your guests, my planner recommended these two Austin agencies, which she said she has used with much success:

Just thought I would pass this along.  Don't hold me liable for any damaged children as a result!

Thanks for the info. Depending on how our response rate goes, I may need them.

Oh wow!I wish I had known that earlier. FI and I don't really have a kid-friendly reception planned, so we decided to not invite them (except his nephew). Sadly we are getting responses where people are not coming and in one instance I pretty sure it is because no children were invited.

Mohutch - Perhaps you could send the info to guests who are having that issue?  I just emailed all our friends/family with kids as an FYI and though some of them still won't come, it was helpful to others who were on the fence.
