to not want DH to dress DS like this for a wedding...

[TwigletMonster]

DS will be 6 months on the occasion of BIL's wedding. DH wants him to wear this or similar.

He is half-joking, half-serious - I am taking the bait and duly appalled by the notion! DD will be a flowergirl, and I think it's a very silly idea to put DS in a fancy dress outfit.

AIBU? Will DS look "cool" or a bit silly?

I wouldn't dress a baby in that for a wedding. imo weddings are not the place for jokey outfits, even on babies.

there are lots of fab baby clothes out there. The choice isn;t between the OP DH tuxedo romber suit and some starchy suit.

OP stick with your gut feeling!

mumblingragdoll I expected a flaming for calling it common

It looks like fancy dress, and not in a good way

Ha ha - it IS awful! DS is generally still in babygros at the moment - and as he wears real nappies it'll probably be that way till he's 1! It's a bugger to find 'proper' trousers that fit.

So, I'm thinking of a nice, but colourful romper or babygro, or maybe non-denim dungarees. Maybe like this

If it were someone's birthday party, a 30th say, then I'd go for it. But not for a wedding. Poor sod.

YANBU. Who on earth wears black tie to a wedding?

I like it!!

curry Nah...bugger it! Common is common...anyone who pretends to be so PC or so classy that they're above labelling something common IS common.

[ties self in knots]

Or maybe I'M common for thinking about it so much!

Probably!

Some of us are common and don't pretend to be anything else

Commoner

:o

I would call his bluff and buy it [but buy something cute and AWW to wear on the actual day]
Imagine his face if you actually came home with it

Nobody would wear a tuxedo to a wedding. It is unbearably non-U.

Obviously he should be in full morning dress - flowery waistcoat, top hat and all.

I am not overly keem on the Tux babygro but I prefer it to JL dungies, they are so colourless and wishy washy!

Yeah, where's the "wacky" bow tie and matching cumberbund? (sp?)

I would buy something he could wear again but I suppose £6 isn't toooo bad.However I would :
1/ask the BIL who's wedding it is if its okay (common courtesy) and
2/ think up some good answers for 14 years from now when your DS asks "for heavens sake what were you thinking Mother

Oh get it, let him wear it, and PRAY he is sick all over it within a few minutes... then put him in what YOU want him to wear

Nasty, nasty, nasty.

Sorry to you DH but its yuk! Mine would be in something from Monsoon baby but then I am a terrible tedious middle class cliche ..

I trussed my PFB up in a PROPER formal shirt, jacket, waistcoat and trews plus bow tie for a mega posh 3-day Dublin wedding when he was 10 months old. He wore a lovely pair of comfy scarlet slipper type things on this feet though (wasn't anywhere near walking then) which completely ruined the effect! .

With hindsight I would have just popped him into the v. sweet combo suggested in the OP.

Not "common" at all . How the feckitty feck can you be common when you are 6 months old? Unless you are wearing a babygro with "Slut-in-Training" picked out in sequins?

When I opened the first link my eye was caught be an advert for a Chelsea shirt so seeing the actual item was a huge relief...looking properly it is tacky and common, but the dungarees look like he is imitating a plumber.

Find the poor lad something smart but comfortable (cringes remembering the Bart Simpson waistcoat ex-DH bought DS wear to my sister's wedding)

PS I have no problem with a 6 month old wearing a babygro to a wedding, just it would need to be a tasteful one!

Horrid. Nasty. Tacky. And cheap.

And very very common to boot.
