I am having a VERY small wedding - 13 guests, all immediate family. There are 4 kids, ages 15 months - 9 years. I want them to be included in the ceremony, but I'd like to keep the dinner afterward adults-only.
The whole thing is taking place at a private home, so we were planning on bringing in a babysitter to usher the kids away around dinner time to eat on their own and watch movies until bedtime while the adults make merry.
Is this okay? And how do I tell my future husband's cousin that his 9 year-old stepson won't have a seat at the table but he's welcome to come to the ceremony?
Awkward... Help! Thank you!
