To not attend a wedding...

[kilburnfrenchie]

Been invited to a wedding in early March. It's a very good friend's younger sister. I get on well with her, and know the who;e family quite well. Although she (and her mother) can be drama queens at times. (most times in fact when there is a wedding in the air!).

Am slightly surprised she has invited me- i didn't invite her to mine. But I thought it was very sweet of her to ask me and of course accepted. It now transpires its a no kids affair (I didn't think to check, silly me). OUr DD is 6 months old, I am just back at work full time, and frankly I don't want to give up a whole day of my precious time with dd. So- AIBU to cancel? And what do I say?

It's not always clear that babies aren't invited from the invitation though is it? We're off to a wedding next week and DD wasn't on the invitation but is invited and welcome, they'd just forgotten! It would have been better to check before accepting but I really don't think it's a huge deal to pull out now you know.

I say that as someone who had a family friend pull out of her wedding some hours after they'd have had to set off, and not even ringing directly! That's unreasonable, you are not OP.

Thanks all.
