Weddings with 2 sprogs - do you take a huge bag for all their crap or what?

[oliveoil]

I am thinking that it will not go with my outfit (that is not yet purchased arrghhhhhh).

Juice, bribes, toys, bib, bribes, teddy, bribes etc etc

How old??

Are they old enough to have a bag of goodies to carry themelves?

That is why I bought very glam, glittery 'nappy bags'. I don't own a small bag anymore they are all huge and contain books, toys, nappies and bribes of all descriptions. My lipstick is somewhere in there too.

take pushchair and use that as mission control

or do what DH's cousins did at our wedding and just bring the nanny.

no you leave them at home

Nowt worse than some wilting martyr mum,weighed down by huge padded bag full of crap.
They should be either b/fed or using regular utensils.
Toys-never do 'em.
The world is intersting enough.
Wipes-forget it.Napkin dipped in water.
Maybe a nappy or two in the car.

You never, ever go anywhere like that without bribes, ever, repeat it after me now.

dd1 is 3 and a half and a born angel, sits quietly where ever and whenever

dd2 is 22 months and a born devil, runs around loudly where ever and whenever

Would need at the least:

nappies
wipes
bribes - raisins, breadsticks, mini cheddars etc
juices - 2 lidded cups
bib - WHITE DRESSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not leaving them at home, specifically invited (harrumph at cod).

moondog - you carry on living on Mars, I will remain in the real world

OO can you take the buggy? you can stuff loads underneath

my list would be

nappies
wipes
2 cups of juice
tupperware of plain raisins

bribes for later, like comic and pack of crayons

Rod for yer own back Olive.
Go ahead.

moondog - you would use a napkin dipped in water instead of a wipe for a dirty bottom
Breastfed or using utensils? So young children still eating finger foods not welcome at weddings then???

you will look glam wiht a pram
arf

oh yeah and a bib or 2

yes but I am thinking of "will you take this man to be your etc etc" to "noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" screeched from the back as dd1 and dd2 have a fight

OO might have someone else to push the buggy - can you use gran or dh or a useful teenage niece maybe?

you may well get to have a queue of babysitters

no to buggy!

tis in 5 star hotel, no way will my aged McClaren be in the lobby!

Now if I had an illuminous Buggaboo.........

Olive,hover at the back for that bit.

I'd give finger food stage kid a bit of bread roll.
Dirty arse?? Quick swill in the sink in the Ladies.

Listen,I go bloody everywhere with my kids (schlepping across the world),and as I have a 23 mth old,I know what hard work they can be.
But,bare minimum always works best.

i would get myself down to accessorise for a cool summery bag for all the shite then

i actually wouldnt go into hte church for the ceremony

hopefully it will be a nice day and you can walk around outside with them

bride will never know

Actually,if I was hoiking crap along,I'd make my dh carry it.

"Dirty arse?? Quick swill in the sink in the Ladies"

hahahahaahahaahahahahaahahahahahahaha

My God! I wouldn't have fancied swilling DSs arse in the sink after the poo he did yesterday! As it was I had to change him in the back of the car and even with wipes and a co-operative child I still managed to get poo everywhere!

Imagine that whilst wearing your wedding-best!

colouring books and crayons or small quite toys that will keep them amused.

I've done a few weddings with the DSs at similar age - it's a bloody nightmare.
Some more tips: get your DH to carry the bag - it won't ruin the line of his outfit in quite the same way.
Get someone to come and collect the children (along with all their crap) at 7pm so you can enjoy the evening and just carry a cute little handbag around with you.

oh they are being collected for the night do, yes sireee

I wonder if my inlaws realise they will not get any sleep whatsoever? Tee Hee.

Dh is an usher (?) so childcare will be my domain.
