Update to the wedding question...
It's been a while... We've been extremely busy, it seems, since school's
been out! I left N at home (he had to work anyways) and took the kids out of province to the lake with my mom the first week of July, and now we're (well, I am, anyways) packing to go camping again this afternoon. DS has already gone with my parents, so we're catching up with them today. I've also been busy with other things, but anyways... I haven't been around much. Anyways, a while back I had asked about what is proper with weddings and invitations. DD2, almost 9 months - WOW - is still exclusively breastfed. I had asked about what is proper for weddings about bringing nurslings, even older ones (although DD2 will be 10 months at the time of this wedding) I put off calling to RSVP. I called shortly after we got back home from going to the lake, and I left another message just saying I called and the next morning, she called me back. We got talking about random whatevers, and I had planned to ask her about the wedding, but we got on other topics. Finally, she just jumped in and asked if I was going to make it to her wedding. I then just asked if it was an adult-only wedding, and she said no, but then asked what I meant, like if there will be other children or what. I then quickly told her that DD2 is still breastfeeding and will not take bottles, and she told me that was fine, there would be other children there as well and to bring the kids if I wanted/needed. I then told her that my mom was able to take the older ones, and I also said chances are they would be more trouble for me to deal with at a wedding, so I would then just be bringing DD2. She said that was totally fine and alright, but even if I wanted or needed to bring all the kids, they were all more than welcome to attend. (Quite frankly, I think I would enjoy myself less, as would the older kids, if they went) so she marked down that N and I would be there along with DD2, although she said she wasn't going to count DD2 as an actual guest that requires a seat or food or anything. So, as it turns out, the convo went great. As we planned, my mom is taking the older ones, N and I will attend with DD2 more than likely in the baby wrap to keep it easy and simple. There's absolutely no problem with her attending as well, and I am more than willing to excuse myself should DD2 act up to avoid us drawing attention and coming back to the room/everyone else when she's settled down. Luckily, it was an easy fix and good conversation. Thanks for the tips, hints and info! I really didn't know where to go with it but it all worked itself out just fine! |

along with DD2, although she said she wasn't going to count DD2 as an actual guest that requires a seat or food or anything. so you might consider if the venue has high chairs available and therefore if it might be possible to have her on the seating plan with you and space for a high chair, you mentioned a wrap, which is a good idea, but she might get frustrated after a time and prefer to sit in a high chair some of the time. I know we had this at our wedding reception and didn't have to pay for the extra space, we even had to switch it around on the day as one couple had the baby sitter they had arrange let them down, the staff had no issue slightly rearranging that table and making space for a highchair.

Cheers Anne Hm... Didn't think of that one, actually. Maybe I'll see about either a high chair or an extra chair, even, to put the portable booster seat/high chair thing on that straps to almost any chair. DD2 is extremely happy as long as I'm carrying her, it seems. As much as her apparent clinging drive me insane at some times, I also see it as a plus that I can carry her on my back or front fairly easily for fairly lenghty times. As long as I am RIGHT there, she's happy. I always have one wrap in the van and another in the house - just in case one is needed, which often seems to be the case. I also have a spare that is kept aside and rotated when one wrap needs to be washed, so I always have 1-2 wraps handy lol I'm sure she would like to sit on her own for some of the time. This could be something to look into just to know one way or another. Might be a bit easier on me to have her off of me or sitting beside me on her own! |
