Tips: Bring your Toddler to Wedding Party Celebration

According to Chinese calender, this Month - September is the 8th month of the year. 8 Means Great Luck.
No wonder every week, Saturday and Sunday, there will be a Wedding Invitation.

As I take care of Josh and always bring him everywhere I go (Suddenly I hope my mom going home soon *grin*) also when attending the Wedding Party, so I shall do something to enjoy the party.

Let's me assume first, cause not every situation is same.
- Remember In Indonesia only! *smile*
- It's Wedding Party Celebration - Not ceremony.
- Toddler means 1 years old and up and below 18 Months - Josh is  only15 months.

Here is what I do and I count it as Tips:

1.Feed before Go.
I find a lot easier to bring 1 year old kid to the Party - they can eat similar with us. I feed half of usual portion to Josh, so he can survive till the next round *hehehe*.

2. Bring the water bottle, Wet tissue, and Camera *smile* and ohh a spare of diapers.
Yeah, that what I always put in bag. You might wonder what fashion party bag which can fill that stuff.
The answer: None! as I know.
So, instead of bring fashion party bag, I bring the food bag. No style? That's ok-lah, I have married! *hahaha*

3.Que on the Middle serving table.
Then I Queuing on the middle serving table, which I feel quicker (not many people grab this first) and most of the food can be eated by Josh.
Josh like the Nasi Goreng, Fish, and Prawn. (No spicy please).
I can say I'm moderate mother who like to giving a food for Josh to try. As this party and only happen sometimes, so I will give him a try if I feel the food it's not too sweet or too salty or spicy.

4.Stay away from Loudspeaker.
Even you can handle the big voice come out, but not your kid. I can say my ear has been contaminated for 28years, while Josh is only one year old and his ear just been cleaned by doctor.

5.Take turn on taking care
During the days, I always take care of Josh, but during the party, I might ask Daddy to take turn.
As I'm not bringing pram with me, so it's heavy to hold Josh (around 10kg now) with one hand while the other hand holding the spoon to feed him.

6.Find a big space, so you can let your toddler down for walk.
For Josh, if you just let him down and walk, in a minute he will disappear. Better to find a spacious area and let him play. He shall enjoy the party also.

Ups if you have read this all and you pay attention to it, you will ask, when you give a congratulation to the bride and groom. Yeah, of course we queuing on the line. But we usually did it very first or in the middle and it's more comfortable cause you don't need to que for along time. Hey do remember, toddler won't be quiet.

Ok that's all. If you make your toddler happy, then you will happy also. ^^/

Last: Here is the picture result if Daddy want to take a picture of us, but Josh refuse it.

P.s. Avoid the Stairs also, otherwise, you will end up following him up and down. ^^
