We've been invited to a wedding 5 weeks after my due date and would really like to go as it's a very close friend of dh's. He's missing 2 stag dos because of aforementioned due date so we're keen to make an effort to go. The invitation has arrived today and is addressed to us only, no mention of dd (age 4) or the baby.
I know it's been done a thousand times before but what is the etiquette here? Is it bad to ask about bringing baby (not an option to have childcare as I'll be bf)- don't want to put pressure on them or cause any awkwardness, would rather not ask if this is the case.
Are there any other options anyone can think of? It's 350 miles away and we were hoping to tie it in with a visit to family a further 60 miles away so we'll be in the vicinity anyway. Dh could always go alone or maybe MIL could come along [shudder] and do baby/dd stuff in between feeds (although with dd she seemed to be permanently latched on at that stage)
Voices of reason much appreciated, even if it is just to say we're mad to even consider it . We hardly ever get a chance to go anywhere 'nice' together, which is why I'd like to work a way round it.
(No offence will be caused by any comments so bring it on)
