  You know, I didn't even realize that wedding invitations would include every member of the family so I guess there's that to consider.

  If the bride and groom know you have a baby and didn't include him on the invite, it's fairly safe to assume he is not welcome.  You could always ask but wedding invite etiquette is very specific - everyone who is invited is listed on the invite by name or included by using "And Family."

  Sooo... the confusing part is that because my friends are such green freaks they sent out emails for their invitations. One to me and one to my husband. Now obviously LO doesn't have an email set up so that's where all the confusion comes from. I think I'm just going to shoot her a message and ask if it's going to be a wedding with kids or not, even though I know their 13 year old is going to be in it.

  It's been so long since I've been to a wedding that I feel totally out of the loop on all the etiquette.

  I really appreciate all the feedback.

  In this case I don't think there's any harm in asking, as long as you know and accept that she might say no

  
  

  Assuming she says yes, let's get back to your actual question about whether or not you should bring him.  For me it would depend on how much fun I wanted to have, what time the festivities were and if there was a lot of travel involved.

  Just found out it was adults only but it was still good to get other's input on this. Etiquette is tricky sometimes.

  I was kind of excited to take her but I'm kind of more excited to get a night out without her. Not that I won't miss her every second but they have an amazing chef catering the wedding and I'm looking forward to eating without having my spoon in one hand and hers in the other. Yay for adult time.

  You all are a swell group of ladies. This is the kind of stuff that I need to hear.

  Plus, after EBFing for the first 8.5 months, she just started taking a bottle this week so I feel like my life is about to get a lot easier and can actually not have to be with her ALL.THE.TIME. Viva la boozy booze time for mommy. Daddy might even get lucky that night if he plays his cards right.
