They're getting married on Sunday, Nov. 18. We still do not know what church or what time to be there (and I highly doubt getting an invitation). Apparently the guests (mostly family) should come to the last service so they don't miss the ceremony. That's b/c the pastor is squeezing them in after the last service and before he has to be somewhere at 1pm. Then we all get to go over to their house for warmed up Sam's Club appetizers and sheetcake.
It's his second marriage, her third and last time I checked the ceremony wasn't even going to include the children. I mean they'll be there, but nothing to include them in the blending of families.
Ah maybe I should post this in the "disaster weddings" thread afterwards.

This is sounding more and more stressful on you, SailorGirl, jeez! I think you said previously that "cash" hadn't worked well before -- did that mean that just giving money didn't go over well, or was it that it was actually cash? How about giving each kid one of those pre-loaded Visa cards you can get at your bank? They'll each have their own "debit"-type card to use on whatever they want, but it's not like tracking cash. If that's not an option, I second (or third) the zoo membership idea, you take care of the whole family in one shot and you can move on to the rest of your holiday shopping list. Because otherwise, are you expected to buy a wedding present for the brother & bride and also a holiday gift? Can't wait to read the wedding thread!
