Baby not invited to wedding abroad

[DnG]

Hi all, I need some advice. My good friend is planning her wedding abroad (where she lives), a 10h flight away. By the time the wedding comes round my baby will be 9 months old (currently entirely breastfed). We wanted to combine the trip with our honeymoon. Now it turns out children are not invited to the wedding, but a garden party the next day. My friend is suggesting to leave my baby with a babysitter during the wedding. I don't think I feel comfortable taking my baby on a 10h journey for the wedding to then not even being invited to the wedding. I also don't feel comfortable leaving her with a stranger in a strange place for a day. I'll be very happy to hear people's opinions. Thank you

You don't go. No way would I be leaving my baby with a stranger in another country. Wonder if she'd do that 🙄

This. When DH and I married, we emphasised that any guests with children and babies were more than welcome to attend with them. It made the day so much brighter and more memorable. Weddings have become such sterile, self-absorbed events, for the sake of a few bloody photos for the 'gram!
