Kids in the limo?

k8888

Anyone else including the RBs or FGs in your transporation/limos?

I was originally planning on bringing an iPod for our party bus, but my mom said we should have a kids movie playing instead for my RBs (2 nephews, ages 3 and 6) that will be traveling with us.  The most time we'll be on the bus is 45mins-1hour depending on traffic.

I feel like they'll be fine hanging out with us with some music playing, but I've never traveled with small children, so I'm not sure if she's right about the movie.

Anyone else in a similar situation?  What are you doing?

I have nieces and nephews the same age. Although, they will be traveling with their parents. I think your RBs should be fine with dancing to some music in their seats and chatting with the wedding party. Maybe some coloring books and crayons? My niece, 6 years old, is perfectly happy coloring all day, every day.

Things like this are one of the reasons I am not having small children in the wedding hahah.

But no honestly I think they will be fine!  Do they have ipod touches or some other "toy" they can play with?  I think they will just be excited to be with all the adults and in the limo to begin with that they should be ok.

My FG is 5 and she'll be riding with us. But it's a very short trip so I haven't even thought about it. But honestly, I think they will be fine. I agree with what colleen said--they will just be so caught up in the excitement and to be riding in a limo. It shouldn't be a problem.

Girl do music to get the party started!!!  If their parents are not in the bridal party I would have them just ride with their parents.

Ditto what LADY said. I was going to say the same thing. Limo = party time.

honestly, I would have the kids ride with their parents.

We still are undecided on whether we are going to have our cousins/junior BMs ride in the limo or not. We plan on opening a bottle of champagne after the ceremony in the party bus and don't want the girls to feel uncomfortable.

If the kids do stay in the limo, I am sure they will be fine chatting with each other and playing on their own.

In my area, it's tradition to go to a few bars in between the ceremony & reception. If that's what you're planning on, I'd say skip the kids being in there. If you're going straight to the reception, I'd ask their parents what they would prefer. Depending on their ages, their parents may try to sneak in a nap on the drive over.

Sorry, I should have mentioned their parents are also in our WP and will be on the bus (my brother and his wife).

Originally my SIL's parents were going to take the kids but her father is sick with cancer and just had another major surgery so they may not be able to come to the wedding, nevermind watch the kids.

I think they'll be fine with us just hanging out.  They're pretty well-behaved to begin with, so I'm not sure why my mom feels like they need a movie, too.

They're ready to party

I don't think you have to play a movie. It isn't a family trip. I say bring the iPod and get the party started. Kids like to party and dance too.

this exactly!!! I wouldn't have my FG ride with us!  I'd want to get the party started!!!

I say get the party started! Their parents will be there and can handle them if necessary.  We haven't talked to our RB/FG's parents yet but I think they are driving outside of the limo because they still need booster seats and all the stuff.
