Cost of Babysitting Service during wedding

[sbggirl]

I was trying to have an adults-only ceremony and reception, but my fiance insists that all of his cousins' children be invited--about 10. Not in my budget or in my ideal wedding.

Has anyone used the Disney babysitting service for their wedding or had a kids-only party? Anyone know the cost? Any advice on this sticky issue? I don't want to offend our friends and family, but we really can't afford to have lots of kids and frankly, I really don't want to. I know that sounds awful, but I just cringe at the idea of crying children at my ceremony. Help!

most deluxe resorts (gf, sw&dl, bwi, cnt, poly, yc&bc, wl) offer a kids club from 4pm-midnight for kids 4-12 potty trained, which ranges from $5+hour & an additional $8 for dinner a kid. just contact the resort mainline & ask for the kidsclub.

another option is kids nite out which has certified caregivers which can babysit in your guest room 24/7, they have group rates for 4 kids & more and there is no age limit. this is what we plan on using for our ceremony & prereception, the kids can play games & the babies can take naps we're also going to have pizza delivered for a snack, then they'll join us for the reception & dessert party. our family has used kids nite out before & have been happy with the experiences. kids nite out 407-828-0920.

disney also offers some grand adventures & birthday party packages at some deluxe resorts not sure if that would work for you but they have a pirate cruise & snacks for kids 3-10 potty trained from the gf & from the yc which is like 10am-12pm contact 407-wdw-dine. they also offer arcade close outs on free play for 2 hours for a pizza & birthday party at some deluxes, my aunt did this for her son & my cousins at the bwi. 407-wdw-play.
