What would you dress baby boy in for a wedding?

[horchatatresleches]

We’ve been invited to a wedding in November but I have no idea what to dress baby DS in. If you’ve been to a wedding with a baby boy, what did you dress him in?

How old will he be? Are you 'just' guests or are you part of the bridal party?

Surely you need to state his age?

A nice new babygrow?

How old is he? We went to one when my DS was about 4 months and he wore chino trousers, a linen bodysuit and a knitted waistcoat over the top.

DS wore dungarees all the time before he was potty trained. Much more comfortable than trousers but loks like you've put more effort in than a sleepsuit.

This is cute. Sizes from 3 months. From Vertbaudet

How old is he? If he is an actual baby baby then just a clean version of what he usually wears, surely.

Took my 7 month old to one in a little suit from mamas and papas- shirt, waistcoat, trousers and bow-tie. It was in the sale for £30, wouldn’t have wanted to spend more than that and if I hadn’t found it would have probably just dressed him in an outfit he already had like dark blue joggers and cardi. I probably also wouldn’t have bothered with a special outfit if he was younger than around 4/5 months

He’ll be nine months old, sorry I mean to put it in the title. So it’s an awkward age where I think he’ll be too old for a lot of the stuff for smaller babies, but I think the toddler clothes will look too old for him.

We went to a wedding when DS2 was about 9 months old. He had cream and pale blue stiped dungarees with a cream collared long sleeved top. (The ones that popper up underneath)

DS 1, who was almost 3 had cream chinos, a blue sleevless jumper and a top that must have co-ordinated. All from M&S. Same colour pallette so they "matched".

And we’re fairly close friends. DH went to the fairly small stag but isn’t a groomsman if that makes sense.

At 9 months I’d do a cute shirt, waistcoat and trouser set, next do some nice ones.

My son was 10 months and wore something like this from Jo Jo Maman. But it was September so it was warmer

i dont like the mini suit look on little boys eg waistcoat its a bit eugh looking to me. I like the idea of smart romper, smart dungarees or chinos

Sailor suit.

At about 4 months, DS1 went in something similar to this - all be it his teeshirt was plain, and the dungarees striped!

I don’t think I’m wild on the waistcoat look. He seems too squishy and waistcoats seem so straight! If the wedding were when he was about 18 months or so it would be adorable (though glad I don’t have to go to a wedding with a toddler!). And I find that shirts tend to ride up all the time and so he’s always in vests because of that. Dungarees are a god option, maybe some beigey dungarees would work.

Just looking again at the Next website maybe a vest like this, dungarees like this and a cargo cardigan if he needs it (which I doubt because he’s like a blast furnace). And a non collared vest option in case he really hates the collar, or just decides to chew it all day. Are teddies too informal? It’s hard because I do want him to look somewhat smart but also be comfortable.

When ds was 6 months old at a wedding he wore white shorts and a blue and white shirt. That was summer though. In winter I would have swapped the shorts for dungarees.

I like the bodysuit, the one DS wore was very similar, but will it look a bit funny under a pair of dungarees? The waistcoat I put DS in was knitted, similar to this one in style but my MIL knitted it, but I would have thought that something along those lines would work well for a winter wedding with some trousers. I definitely agree that the mini suit look is a bit much.

I took my boy to a wedding at a similar age and put him in a pair of soft little cord trousers and a jumper with pretend shirt collar, with a little pop-under vest underneath to keep him cosy.

Sorry that link was spam. It was a totally different web page that I intended to share.

My sibling got married when DS was 10 months. I put him in a short sleeved shirt, his 3yo brother wore the same one. They came with little blue elastic ties. The baby I just stuck it on quickly for a photo. It was summer so he wore some lovely, smart-ish neutral coloured linen shorts with it. And a waistcoat that a relative had knitted my older son which I don't think he actually ever wore or at least not that I can remember!

But honestly I didn't care too much and my sibling couldn't have cared less if I'd brought him in a sleep suit or a top and joggers or whatever. He's a baby, my priority was him being comfortable and ease of nappy changes and not spending much money on stuff he would never wear again as we financially things are tight.

DGS wore this to a wedding yesterday with next white leather pram shoes. Sizing is more ‘top of age range’ so 12 months for 9-12 if that makes sense. https://www.emile-et-rose.co.uk/collections/autumn-winter-2025/products/kingsley-boys-traditional-dungaree-style-all-in-one

I would just get him a nice outfit that he could wear again. Wouldn’t put a 9 month old in a suit or anything uncomfortable and it would be a waste to get something he’d only wear once. Nobody will expect a baby to look “smart”
