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?

[kickingking]

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

[Needanewname]

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

[shesparkles]

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

[TwigletMonster]

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?

[LoveLeonardCohen]

I like it!!

[MumblingRagDoll]

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!

[usualsuspect]

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

[CurrySpice]

Commoner

:o

[canyou]

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

[BitOfFun]

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

[Butterbur]

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

[Bogeyface]

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

[CurrySpice]

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

[LordOfTheFlies]

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

[squeakytoy]

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

[sparkle12mar08]

Nasty, nasty, nasty.

[Bumpsadaisie]

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 ..

[MrsFlittersnoop]

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?

[Takeresponsibility]

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)

[Bumpsadaisie]

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!

[ifancyashandy]

Horrid. Nasty. Tacky. And cheap.

And very very common to boot.
