Lazy Susan: Elegance can come in small packages!

February 25, 2010 | by Lazy Susan

Today, Social Grace lent some advice to a lady who wants a kid-free wedding. While her help is fine, Lazy Susan wanted to give her two cents.

If having kids at your wedding goes against your style, here’s some ways to deal with those problem children:

1. Free labor. Put those kids to work. They can carry trays, clear tables and wash dishes. Let the parents know that if they want their kids to be present, they better be ready to earn their keep. The best part? You can pay the rugrats in cake.

2. Pick a venue that’s 21 and over only. It’ll probably have to be a bar or casino, but it might be the only way.

3. Trickery is the best policy. Tell your young nieces, nephews and cousins they can come, but they have to get a shot, eat brussel sprouts… and take a bath.

4. Wait until all the children in your family have reached adulthood. But be prepared that you’ll have to delay the wedding by 18 years for each new child born into the family (including your own!)

5. Put your foot down. Stick to your guns. After all, it is your wedding. By the way, this will be the last time you’ll see your family because they will never invite you to another party/wedding after this.

Don’t like these ideas? Fine, you can always take Social Grace’s advice.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Lazy Susan’s advice is purely for entertainment value. You should never actually listen to her. For your best outcome, always do what Social Grace says.
