Re: would you bring the baby to a wedding at 1 mo?

i had 2 weddings that were 4 weeks after my EDD. I checked the no box for both for a few reasons. 1- i wasnt leaving the baby with anyone. 2- i didnt know when the baby was coming out, could have been 2 weeks early or later.3- i new getting dressed would have put me into an emotional basketcase. 4- bringing the baby wasnt an option, they were evening weddings and with the loud music and all those people, i just new i wasnt ready for that.

I wouldn't. I remember when I got married and I didn't want children at my wedding - whether they were 1 month old or 1 year old. Sometimes the brides have a preference.

honestly no i would not..to me they are just too small and i would also worry about the music being too loud and hurting their ears.



ITA - plus I wouldnt want all those people wanting to hold or touch the baby. My DS is almost 2 months old and I still dont bring him out in public.

Yes I definitely would if the person getting married was someone I was very close to.

Why does everyone have to hold the baby? That would be a definite NO NO for me!!!!
Bringing the baby is one thing but having people come and get too close to the baby is another.


You don't have to stay in the receptioon room all night. There's always a lobby area and usually they are spacious. Plus, you don't have to stay all night. You do what you feel is right in your heart.
I am not a first time mother, I am on my 3rd so maybe that is why I would. it all depends how you feel after the baby is here. you might be very relaxed and fine with it and then you may not be.

This is something you can't play by ear b/c the bride needs a final count.

I think the baby will be fine, you are the one who has to be fine. There is no right or wrong in this. It's what you are comfortable with.

No way. With the noise of the DJ/Band and the exposure to too many people, it's going to be a misery for you. You won't be able to relax and enjoy yourself.

Re: would you bring the baby to a wedding at 1 mo?

I personally don't think that children, especially infants, belong at weddings period so no I would definitely not bring a 1 month old.

However, I would also definitely not skip the wedding but make alternate arrangements for the care of the baby, like having your MIL come to watch him / her while you're gone.

Do you have anyone who can babysit? I dont think i would bring my 1m old to the wedding, just b/c their immune systems just arent that strong yet. Alot of people around and yes everyone will want to hold him/her.

I don't think that I would plan on it, but I'd try to just see how things go.

Maybe you'll have the baby early, and the baby will be that much older. OR, maybe you'll be two weeks late, in which case I don't think I'd go.
