What is appropriate baby wedding attire?

DC1 has his first wedding next week. He’s 6mo. Can I get away with his special Duns dungarees with oranges on, or should I get him one of those little rompers that look like fake suits? I was thinking maybe this one from M&S:

as an aside definitely not this one from Next, the poor baby looks so uncomfortable!

Gosh, more negativity about my lovely dungarees than I expected! 😂 Left to my own devices he spends all his time in bright second hand flashing scandi-style prints so I’m glad I checked. I have a few even louder outfits I was going to take as back-up (the classic frugi rainbow romper anyone? A nice vegetable themed two piece?)

I like the dungarees, but they're not very wedding. A similar pair but in a plain colour or less loud pattern would look nice.

For transparency I really don't like the fake suits baby outfits and much prefer a nice comfy baby outfit.

Haha the dungarees are lovely for every day! Definitely for once he's had his inevitable poonami.

@RosesAndHellebores I am very proud of them, I bought them new (in the sale) because I liked them so much

They're bloody awful!

Whatever is comfortable, he could well make a mess of whatever you dress him in so you will need a change anyway.

DS3 attended a wedding at 4 months old. I found a really cute long sleeved vest with a soft waistcoat and bow tie attached to the front, with matching soft jogging bottoms set in H&M which was pretty much perfect baby wedding wear.

This is this season’s version: www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0866528003.html

Oh that's very cute and looks comfortable

anon2022anon · 03/02/2023 22:18

@snorrrlax no negativity about the print at all, my little one has the blue dress in that. If you're not part of the scandi/ Duns groups on facebook, you should join- you get some great bargains.

ShirleyPhallus · 03/02/2023 22:19

The dungas are nice but not wedding appropriate

Agree to get on Vinted and get something similar to the H&M link posted upthread, that’s perfect

I hate babies in jeans as an aside, they always look so uncomfortable

I was gonna say just put him in a long sleeve white vest with black trousers on but this set is literally perfect. Cheap and cheerful and it’s a lovely outfit.

The M&S outfit is a no and the romper looks like you’re taking him outside to feed the ducks. Defo not wedding appropriate

Sorry but it’s horrible. I have a real problem with dressing babies in bow tie / tie outfits they just look so silly

I love this style. But no not for a wedding unless you know its going to be a LOUD bold colour wedding rather than a traditional one?

Just to save people the bother of clicking on the H&M link.

DS looked adorable in the 2021 version. And he was comfortable.

To my SIL's wedding DD2 (3mo) wore a lovely white sleepsuit with small pink flowers on Smile my dad got married when she was 6mo so she had a little white and pink dress on to match the flower girls but she spent most of the time asleep or feeding tbh then we switched her to a sleepsuit for the evening 😊
My number 1 rule has always been comfort for babies!

Thanks for the suggestions. @hryllilegur those H&M ones are cute! I should clarify he’s in 9-12 month size now (he’s long) so sadly they won’t fit him!

plumduck · 03/02/2023 22:22

I think something exactly like the duns but in a plain colour?

hryllilegur · 03/02/2023 22:23

There must be similar stuff in bigger sizes. It can’t just be H&M that see bits on the front of a vest. 🤣

That look great. Far more classy than the citrus fruits and the backup meat and two veg that op has planned 😬

SecretVictoria · 03/02/2023 22:24

I love the dungarees, I’d definitely take him in those!

anon2022anon · 03/02/2023 22:26

Teeny tiny little bird blazer?

Hmm literally hadn’t occurred to me to get myself some adult woman trousers in this print, what a good idea! 😂

I'd go with the dungarees. Who'd look at a 6 month old and think they're inappropriately dressed?

Aww that’s cute 😭 he’s never worn an indoor jacket! Also has the requisite rainbow sleeves.

I hear you. It’s only for a handful of hours for a wedding though. The link above was more or less just a waist coat with a little bow tie attached. Looked very comfortable for a baby to wear
