DH and I have been invited to a wedding of one of his family members - would like to attend but our EBF DS will be 4 months old then, and the invite stipulated (in rhyming couplets no less) they wanted a child free wedding.
We also had an almost child free wedding due to the size of our venue and expense but made it v clear that young babies were welcome and in the end a single parent friend brought his 2 year old as well as childcare fell through.
My lovely but quite forceful MIL said she would ask them if my DS is allowed to come as she felt this wouldnt apply to such a young baby - but I don't want them to feel awkward/unable to say no and I respect their right to ask for no kids whatsoever if that's what they want.
(I would consider expressing and just attend part of the wedding - but it's in the middle of the countryside several hours away from where my parents are and I wouldn't want anyone else to look after him at this age except close family so logistically it's a bit tricky.)
