Wedding invite with no kids

My son was 6 wks old when I was supposed to go to a wedding. I stayed home and my husband went

My brother’s wedding was strictly no children. There wasn’t any at the wedding party either but I brought my son to the reception. My husband asked my brother. My baby was ebf and didn’t handle being with a sitter so I left the wedding and picked up my son and brought him back to the reception

I don’t find it rude to ask but I also don’t see any problem skipping the wedding either to be home with your baby

I’m the weirdo in the world that has no issues with missing out on things to be home with my child. He’s now 3. I never liked weddings personally. Only been to 4 in my entire life and one of them was mine lol

Yeah it would be awkward. We said no kids at ours except for our own and the amount of people who still asked to bring their kids was insane. And it just wound us up 😂😂. If you don't wanna leave your baby don't go x

Just frame it with i would love to be at your wedding but can’t be without the baby understandably due to ebf. And then say would love if we could bring her but understand if you don’t want that, in which case we won’t be able to come. I think that’s perfectly reasonable as giving her the choice.

I went to a wedding when my son was 4 months old (he wasn't invited) and we left him with my sister and bro-in-law. Honestly I was miserable the whole day and when I pumped, no milk came out, which really really upset me (no idea why - maybe stress!?)

I had the same situation last year with my 4 month old EBF baby. We declined the invite explaining we couldn’t leave the baby and the couple actually turned round and said it was fine to bring them. Also had it when he was 8 months old so still dependent on my (wouldn’t take a bottle) and they accepted my decline which is fair enough.

My wedding was child friendly so not the same but we were strictly inviting people we had met. My husbands cousin asked multiple times if he could bring his fiancé and I personally found it incredibly rude.

So personally after that experience and I how it made me feel when people tried to ask for people who were explicitly not invited, I personally would never ask and would just decline!

I think there’s no harm in asking when a baby is that young and can’t go without you. But you’ll have to be prepared for her answer to be no and possible not attend her wedding. If she says no I would not push it or explain further why you’re asking though

My own brother is getting married soon and has a no children policy, even for the wedding party. So I can’t go as I am EBF. Sucks but it’s his choice.

I had a wedding when my EBF baby was 3 months old. The wedding was also child free. I told him I couldn't make it. He told me to bring my baby so we could be there for at least a part of the wedding. We didn't enjoy much the wedding as my baby was already a bit on his schedule and we had to go home at 10h30pm. But it was still nice. 🙏🏼 Have a talk with the bride/groom and see how it goes. If they don't want I wouldn't be going personnaly.
