How should I RSVP to this wedding?

[OrangeSmarty]

I'm expecting my first baby. DH and I have been invited to a wedding, and the reception, that is 2 weeks after the due date. We need to RSVP in 2 weeks' time.

I wanted to ask those who have more experience with newborns/birth etc, should we even consider going? Is it feasible to go to a wedding this soon after giving birth, especially given that first babies are often late?

Is it even realistic to say we'll be at the service but not the reception, with a baby that's so small? The wedding is in central London and we live in zone 3, about 30 mins away by train.

I went to my brothers wedding a couple of weeks after my second baby. It was fine but it wasn't a norMal wedding for me. I wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't a family member though. I felt and looked terrible. Kids were fine though (had a toddler as well).

I felt amazing 2 weeks after having both my babies. Had very straightforward births with both and felt on top of the world. Both easy babies which helped a lot. My experience was nothing like most PP on this thread. I was out and about asap and definitely knew what planet I was on. Wouldn't have had a thing to wear to a wedding though.
