Need wrap recs

Hi there AP board! This is my first post here, though I lurk often.  I would like your suggestions for a "pretty" wrap that is easy to put on that will work for my given situation...

About 4 weeks after my EDD DH and I are traveling to FL for my SIL's wedding.  (IMHO, this is way too soon for us to be going to a wedding with DS, but I digress.  If I still feel uncomfortable about it when the big day comes DH will be going to this wedding alone.)  I DO NOT want him passed around like a football at the wedding (too many germs, too much stimulation, disruptive to breastfeeding, etc.) so I thought that wearing him might be the best option.  Do you have any suggestions for a pretty, comfortable, light wrap that might be appropriate for an inside wedding?  We have an Ergo that we will be using when he gets bigger, but I figured I could splurge a little for a pretty wrap that will fit him well as a NB.  Thank you for your thoughts!

 ETA: Sorry, I'm going to have to post and run.  I am exhausted and need some sleep. I'll check back in the morning.  Big Smile

    Are you specifically looking for a wrap, or for any carrier?  If you're open to any carrier style then I'd go for a ring sling that compliments your outfit.  They're pretty easy for a carrier newbie and depending on the fabric you choose they can look really elegant.

    Any type of carrier will work- I just want something that is elegant, relatively easy to get on and carry baby safely in and will keep hands off of my newborn.  Are there any particular brands/WAHM/etc. that you would recommend?

     

    TY for the reply! Smile

    I highly recommend the Moby. I also used this in the winter when LO was born to keep him from getting too many germs.  I think they have different materials so you can get one more suited for summer.

    I second the recommendation for a ring sling. It is easier to learn and would look nice with a fancy dress.

    I would also recommend a ring sling.  I have one from Sleep Baby Productions that I love in a beautiful dark purple linen that looks really classic.  I like her's because you can customize it to whatever you want.  As the other posters mentioned a ringsling is great for quick ins and outs and easy for a newbie.  A wrap could be a lot to take on if you are unfamiliar with wrapping and especially in the heat of Florida.  It can also look a little messier wrapping vs. using a ring sling.  They are also great since you can use them well into the toddler years in a hip carry as they get older.

    Also check out The Babywearer's FSOT board if you are looking to get something but not spend a lot there are always a ton of ringslings on there and many are actually wrap conversions so they are really pretty.
