Wedding Party Couples with Babies

in Wedding Party
My fiance and I have siblings who are married and each have a young babies or toddlers. We are thinking about just asking one of each couple to stand up for us, so the other one can watch their child. We want to the kids there so they can be in the pictures, but we don't want to have to invite the in-laws parents' to watch the kids so they can both stand up for us. Is this the wrong way to go about it?

    I think it would be ok to just ask your siblings and not their spouses.  But if you are really close to any of the spouses, I would ask them regardless of the child situation.  I'm sure there will be another family member that can hold the child during the ceremony.

    Ditto MNIN again.  An aunt, uncle or cousin could help out with the kids, depending on who the couple is comfortable with if both are in the WP.

    Just ask who you want to ask based on your relationship with them.  If you are close to them and want to ask, then you should.  They can figure out how to take care of the kid situation themselves and if they aren't comfortable with it or feel that it'll be too much, they will decline. 

    I know in my family, there is never a shortage of people willing to hold or watch my nieces and nephews at family events.  My sister always jokes about how great it is at family gatherings because she gets to be off duty for a while.  So try not to worry about it and just ask who you want to ask.

    Ditto the others.  Also consider that they may be looking forward to a child-free evening and hire a sitter.
