Wedding help

[Miss_Bump]

Me and BF have been invited to a wedding about 1 month after my due date depending on when she arrives, little girl will be between 2 - 4 weeks old!

The invite says for both of us + baby for the whole day

BF doesnt think it will be a problem taking little girl to the church but im not so sure. Even tho she has been invited id hate for her to start crying half way thru the cermony or poop in her nappy and start to smell i just dont want to have to make a swift exit during their wedding

As for the reception thats fine, my mum has said she can babysit at anytime that day/night so im happy to take her to my mums for the actually wedding and get her for the reception. Its all local to us and my mum so that wouldnt be a problem at all.

I know its hard to decide until she is here to see how we feel but i would really like to know what you all think or what you would do in my situation?

At the moment we will probably only have her at the reception for a few hours as she will still be so young

If your LO starts getting frustrated one of you can always take her outside for a while, i;ve seen this happen at other weddings. I'm sure the fact the couple have invited babies & children they'll expect that they might make some noise.

We only invited children/babies that are family to our wedding so that things didn't get too hectic. My nephew was only a few months old at the time. Hearing him babble in the background when it went quiet actually helped to settle my nerves a bit because he made me giggle! and he sounds cute in the background on the dvd

Hmm.. tough one. I was in the same boat some years ago when I was invited to a wedding and I'd only given birth 2 weeks previous. I decided against it in the end as I was still feeling quite drained and I didn't like the idea of my baby being passed around so many people and being put at risk of picking up a bug or something. It's entirely up to you. See how you both feel on the actual day. You can always leave after a little while if you're not feeling up to it. And as for baby crying etc.. don't worry.. no one will mind! x

Yeah we said we will wait to see how we feel and ill be breastfeeding too so will express some bottles but i think it will just be too much for both of us and little girl on the day fer her to be there the whole day
