can a 3 week old go to a wedding in just a babygro or do i need to buy her a dress?

[tassisssss]

IMO newborns look a bit silly in proper clothes...

I do have some very cute floral babygros with frilly bits on the bum. Will that do?!

Baby gro. Boys look daft in frilly dresses anyway.

Yes definately, teeny tiny babies look ridiculous in proper clothes and she will be much comfier in a baby grow.

baby grow will be fine. even without frills.

Do whatever you want...

I deffo wouldn't do a dress as they do look v silly, and are very impractical.

A half way house could be a pair of nice dungarees.....

Yes. Definitely. Can't imagine anyone will judge a three week old for not adhering to the dress code!

I agree about small babies in 'outfits'.

Babygro. And bring a couple of spares. If you buy her a frilly dress it will be itchy or she will puke up on it before you even get to the wedding.

It is very important, in terms of wedding etiquette, NOT to outshine the bride.

The cute babygros sound fine. No point in buying expensive dresses that she will outgrow in 2 weeks (and get sick on).

More importantly, do YOU have any clothes that fit and are clean after just three weeks?

Babygrow absolutely. A newborn looks cute enough just as s/he is!

babygrow

but if you have a lacy heirloom babyblanket/ shawl thing, now is the time to use it

mumblechum - it's a girl!!

Ribena - i keep trying on the skirt I hope to rit into by next Friday. Think it's going to be OK. If not I'll be raiding someone else's wardrobe!

Glad you all agree with me!

MrsB - you're so right re the shawl...have just the thing!

Babygro. Newborns look silly in proper clothes.

I'd take a few though (poo leakages, sick etc).

babygro .. sounds lovely

White frilly dress with veil

ooh Tassis congratulations! (remember me fom the sept 2006 thread?)

Babygrow fine.

dd2 is 9mths and still spends more time in a babygrow or one of these especialy if it hot.

Hi compo! Yes I remember you! You've reminded me to go and post our news on the Sept 2006 thread. See you there?!

Lol, I must be the only one that would dress mine up!!!!!

babygro. Nothing so awful as small scrunched baby in frilly dress with matching hairband

definitely baby gro.

I had my babies in little nighties at that age [reminisces broodily]

she wouldnt be a small scrunched baby in frilly dress with matching hairband though lol lol

she would just look lovely, dressed up but still comfty

Not that I have a 3 week baby

I took my dd3 aged 3 months to a wedding. She had a beautiful frilly dress on .....for about an hour..then having got throughly fed of trying to breastfeed her whilst she was encased in frilly satin etc I changed her into her pj's (babygro)...ahhhh she was so much cooler and more comfortbale and easier to pass to people for a cuddle too!!

I saw a three week old in a suit at a funeral once - was quite possibley the most disturbing thing i've seen
