My fiance and I are having an engagement party and we have a 3 years old daughter together we were wondering should we bring her with us or leave or with the sitter?

My engagement party was a picnic in a park with a playground, so children were definantly welcome! but if you are having a night out, or with lots of drinking, i would either get a sitter for the night or ask a parent or someone who will be leaving early to look after them and take them home for the night so you guys can enjoy yourselves!

Leave it with sitter, you dont want the baby crying and whining while you are having a great time

Leave your daughter with a sitter and have fun with your fiance.

I'd leave her with a sitter, but it depends on the situation my "engagement party " really was so our families could meet so it was just us and our parents at applebees, i'm sure if we had a kid they would have already met :) if it's a dinner at a restaurant, if you may drink, if you will want a little free time (which most parents of 3 year olds deserve) take the night off from the munchkin & have an adult night if it's a more casual thing & there may be other kids then you can bring her, but you don't have to :)

It depends on what kind of party it is. If it's a simple dinner then definitely bring here. If there's going to be a lot of drinking, then get a sitter. If you do bring her, ask one of the grandma's to "baby sit " her at the party, so you and your fiance can socialize with the guests and not have to worry about keeping an eye on her. Or have her there for the dinner, but hire a sitter who can pick her up afterward.

You love your child...not so much for others. Leave her with a sitter. Let everyone have a good time.

Allow yourselves a chance to enjoy the party and have a good time without the worry of, where's (insert childs name)? Oh, it's getting late and she's tired... Leave her with a sitter and have a good time.

Bring your daughter with you. u want to be able to enjoy it yourself, but what are u going to say to her when she gets older and asks why she wasn't at the engagemen party? u don't want her to feel bad about it later.

It all depends on the party and the atmosphere you want. If it's just a backyard thing, then fine have her come if you like, but if it's at a restaurant, maybe not. To the person above me who said you don't want her feeling bad when she grows up, oh *please*. It's an engagement party, not the wedding. I doubt the kid would even think about the engagement party.
