Isn't it unusual to have the sister mentioned on the invitation?

Ok, this is really lame, but what about a poem or something fun? (Wife's name) and (Husband's name) are back from basic training, And now it's time to do some entertaining! They tied the knot before they left in the fall, And it's time to celebrate... Friends, family, one and all! And then the rest of the details here...

Well, my grandma and her dad are paying for it, so it would have been kind of difficult to put the names on there like that. Her dad wanted to keep it pretty basic. He didn't understand why we couldn't buy pre printed invitations and fill in the blanks, like a birthday party invite. Classy, huh? Anyway, I did them last night, and they turned out beautiful. They are cream and pink with a brown border and a ribbon tying it all together. Very pretty. It says The honor of your presence is requested at a wedding reception celebrating the marriage of S*** R****-R**** & T***** L**** R**** Saturday, April 14, 2007 5:00 p.m. Ruthy's 229 Clark Avenue Yuba City, CA 95993

It's not like I can call them and ask. They have a lot on their minds and when we did ask them stuff in our letters, they asked for us to just "take care of it", so we are.

I agree with Maris, the completion of their Basic training is quite the cause for celebration.

Hey ya'll, I've been on a search this morning. My sister and her family are planning a trip this summer to S. Carolina. They had been planning on taking a train but discovered plane tickets were much cheaper, plus it'd give them more time to spend with bils step mom and sister. They're going to have to take a car seat for my youngest niece with them so she asked me to check on guidelines for using them on the plane. I checked and found that car seats have to be FAA approved, they can't be wider than 16 inches across, and that it has to be a car seat, not one of those little booster seats (those are banned during take off, landing and turbulence in case the airplane seat were to fold over or something like that.) That's pretty much all I found. Does anyone have anymore information? Is it hard to get a car seat on a plane to use for the flight? Any tips for a smoother flight with one or anything they should be aware of before they go so they can be prepared for it? We already talked about what she needs to take to keep them occupied like new toys, books, crayons, portable dvd player and headphones. I suggested taking along a decongestant in case they get too cranky and talking to youngest nieces dr because she has so many probs with her ears. Can they take along little bags of snacks for them? Any other suggestions? None of us have flown in years and never with younger kids in tow so she's asking me questions and I'm searching online and wondering about even more, lol!

Oh, and do they need to alert the airline ahead of time, like when buying the tickets that they will be using it? LOL, Escapee, we were chatting about all the other stuff, packing a goodie bag to keep them amused when I mentioned the car seat to her. I don't think it's required to use one on a plane, but my thought is why on earth would you use one in a car and not on a plane, plus it pretty much keeps a little active one in one place. Sis on the other hand hadn't even thought about it, not just for the plane ride, but not even for how they'd get around for two weeks without it, lol.

I travel a lot but never with kids. On my last flight someone brought what looked to me like a normal baby seat onto the plane with no hassle, but it fit in the space at the front of her feet, in the wider section where you're meant to sit if you have infants. ABSOLUTELY tell the airline when you book the tickets, and they will make sure you have an appropriate place on the plane and I think they'd tell you everything you need to know about allowable seats as well. And I'd definitely advise bringing your own snacks. Check the latest flight regulations to see what liquids are permitted, there's a certain amount allowed for children but you'll have to check. The attendants will bring you water if you need water for formula or whatever (not sure the age of the child). Someone who's actually done this will probably advise you better, but as no-one had answered..!
