baby will be one and half months shall i accept wedding invite-country hotel 2 venues

[ruva]

Hi ladies,
i am expecting my baby end of feb and have been invited to a wedding when he will be a round 1 1/2 months old, the wedding will have church different venue, reception different venue and the hotel a stone throw away, am i mad to except this invitation this will be my first baby. please can anyone suggest logistics

No you would not be mad to accept, and i'm sure if you're not feeling up to it once LO arrives, the bride and groom would understand if you cancelled or only went along for an hour or 2.
We went to a wedding 5 hours drive away when DS was 5 weeks, i had huge reservations about going because I was struggling a bit with the baby. Glad I did go though, made me feel "normal" and DS slept most of the day- in other people's arms! It was nice to show DS to all our friends and family aswell.
Practically, if you plan to BF, get a nice comfy outfit with easy access! Preferably one that doesn't show milk leaks and puke and hides your tummy! I had a wrap dress. Also make sure you have your own transport - we hired a car- so you are not waiting on taxis or coaches to get you from venue to hotel.

I'm also due end of Feb and we're invited to a wedding at the end of March. We're intending to try to go (it's 350 miles away)and I'm actually looking forward to it. Dh is particularly keen to go because he's missing the stag weekend in Amsterdam as it's on my due date (mwahaha) and the groom was an usher at our wedding so he wants to make an effort. If baby is very late or i'm really not up to it he'll go alone.
I've even bought an outfit in the sales- gone for pretty skirt, wrap top and cami top underneath for ease of bf and hopefully we'll get a room at the venue. Dd will be 4 and should hopefully be OK, she's normally pretty good!
Go for it, it's the easiest time to travel!

I have to be honest and say I wouldn't go.

I'd go. Have taken DS (who's now 2) to an extraordinary number of different occasions, though his first wedding was about 9 months.

Suggestions about getting a room etc. are very very good. You need a "central command station" you can run everything out of.

And get a sling, and get handy using it before you go.

If your baby cries, s/he cries. Babies IMO have as much right as anyone else to be at a wedding, and you can only expect them to behave appropriate to their age.

I agree that you should reserve the right to cancel. I could not have gone anywhere at six weeks due to terrible probs with BF. I had not anticipated being house bound but I was.

Hi I would definately agree to go with small print (depending on how I'm, baby and DH are feeling) .
The first 6 weeks are a big adjustment for you all, but I would say you will enjoy the day!
I went to wedding( which involved travel and an overnight stay) when DD was 5 weeks old. She stayed with my mum...If I had my time over I would still go but bring her with me, as I missed her so much!
Good luck and enjoy!!!

GO GO GO! we did a wedding when DD was 4 weeks old. Alot easier at that age than trying to keep a toddler amused. Worst bit is trying to keep hold of them as everyone wants a cuddle of the little one!!! and more practically what you wear as its that awful still need maternity wear (well i did for at least 6 months!!!) but don't want to look pregnant stage! seriously everyone will understand if you leave early/look tired/don't want to drink much - but all the nice comments your baby will get more than make up for it. lot easier if you can stay where the reception is being held
