Children at wedding

[DEMOC]

I have a wedding to attend tomorrow and my childminder has just cancelled, my mum isn’t well so isn’t able to mind her for me and I’m a single parent who has no support!! Do you think I could take her with me she is 2 years old? I’m panicking now thank you

How close are you to the wedding couple?
If your close enough you could text and ask them?
Most venues (hotels anyway) will insist on a proper place setting for a 2 year old so you you kind of do need to check.
I'd have been fine with this as we had some last minute cancellations and there would have been room, but some people wouldn't.
Only really you know.

No, sorry. I think you will have to cancel. The bride and groom will likely be charged for an extra person or else they will be told a guest can’t attend.

Send them a message now apologising and saying you can’t make it because of childcare. If it’s ok, they will let you know.

You need to ask the couple first and not just arrive with your DD. That age is likely to be disruptive during the service/speeches and it depends on if they are ok with that or not. We recently went to a wedding with many young children attending and the couple’s belief was that they expected their service/speeches to be disrupted by young children, but others may find this not ok at all.
