A close family member of mine is getting married, but it’s an evening wedding that starts at 6pm🫠 LO’s bedtime is between 7-8pm and I know there’s going to be a lot of hustle, bustle and noise and am not sure if I should go.
A part of me is saying it’s just for one evening, go, enjoy, have good food and see people I haven’t seen in a while.
But another part of me knows LO might get cranky, and I also feel guilty. My baby is not the type that falls asleep anywhere unfortunately so I know it could be difficult - would it then ultimately suck the fun out of the evening?
Any advice? What do you guys think I should do? To go or to not?

We’ve always gone about our lives and the kids have slotted in. Give baby an extra nap/ longer naps so they’ll stay up a bit later.
If you never go out in the evenings/ around bedtime you’ll find yourself chained to bedtime as LO gets older. We have friends who can’t be out past 7pm even on holiday! Different strokes for different folks but that was never for us x

You should go! As Yasmin said you can help your LO get extra naps. As much as you want your baby to sleep well you've gotta have fun and live your life just as much x
Thank you both! I think I’ll go and just take the day as it comes x

My brother gets married Friday, my LO bedtime is between 7-8 the wedding starts at 2:30pm, I am thinking about packing a sleep suit (one that doesn't look like one) just in case x
