Invited to wedding 3 days after EDD - should I accept?

[JessJess3908]

My friend has very kindly invited me to his wedding, which is 3 days after my due date.

I'm invited to whole day (service, dinner, reception), DP is just invited to reception.

If I am overdue (first - so likely?) Will I feel like going to the whole day then? Or will I just want to mooch around and whinge on mn?

And, given what a pain weddings are to organise, is it fair of me to accept the whole day when there's a good chance I'll miss it?

Your opninions would be appreciated as pregnancy has made me incapable of making any decisions of my own...

You really shouldn't care about looking good for your ex. No wonder your DP doesn't want you to go to any of it without him!

The cost to your friend will only really be your dinner, so perhaps decline that part of the invite? Why not go with DP to the ceremony, go home and have rest and see if you feel like going back in the evening?

good idea chippymunton

I declined a funeral when heavily pregnant so saying no to a wedding is no problem (how horrid is that?)

Am I the only one who finds it a bit odd that Jessjess's dp isn't invited? Or is that normal?

BTW DD was born the day before her due date so first baby won't necessarily be late.

If it's very close I'd probably aim to go to part of it, and probably not the dinner -- either just go to the ceremony or pop in for an hour at the start of the reception. Mind you, mine are always 2 days early so in your position I'd have ended up not going at all.

I went to an engagement party 4 days after my due date. It was reasonably close to home and I figured that unless I was going to stay indoors until he was born, I may as well go. It is completely up to you though. Weddings are a bit more of a faff so perhaps just go to a bit if it is near by?
