is this too much to ask??

I sent out invitations and said soda, juice and water will only be served. You have every right to set the tone.

I have to agree with your husband. Your family knows you and know your intentions are good , his family might take it the wrong way and you are putting him in an uncomfortable situation. Try to do it at a place where they dont allow alcohol like chuck e cheese.

I’m with you! The focus should be on the baby and the first year of their life. There are plenty of parties where people can drink, I hope your family helps set the tone by respecting your wishes! I also want to add that we are planning our baby’s first birthday next weekend and we aren’t offering any alcohol so your request isn’t odd at all!

i don’t think it’s too much to ask, i think it’s at least worth a conversation to see if they’d be okay with it, or even waiting until later in the night before drinking.

that’s personally something that my family does sometimes during parties held at someone’s home.

maybe once everything is starting to die down they could have a drink?

but i don’t personally see anything wrong with at least asking.
