    A very close friend of mine is getting married on new years eve. Of course we are invited. But I feel guilty not being with my DD that night. I spoke with another friend about this and she looked at me like I'm dumb. She doesn't understand why it's a big deal. But my family always celebrated NYE together and I just feel like I should be with my kid that night.

    What do you think? Do you think it's a big deal?

    @MrsBakes, how old is your DD? It would probably upset me too. Plus it's just a bit annoying having a wedding on such a well celebrated holiday. But if your DD is young enough, she probably won't even remember. And it is their wedding. So I doubt you'd want to skip it...

    She is 4.5 and remembers everything. I remember my family gatherings while I was her age. Again, it was always my family's tradition to be together on NYE so maybe I'm even more sensitive to it... Maybe we do the ceremony and dinner and come back. I'll be very pregnant by then, too so who knows LOL Thanks for the input!

    @MrsBakes we also have a NYE wedding this year in the middle of downtown. I'm very skeptical about going because of the snow, crowds, and being pregnant. 

    Could you have a mini NYE party with your daughter the night before and do all of the same things you would normally do? Just brainstorming..

    @MrsBakes, yes by 4.5 they definitely remember things haha. I actually think your suggestion sounds fair. Ceremony and dinner, then come home (ie. Skip the dance). By that time you've paid your dues, but you still get to do the countdown/festivities with your family. And if you need to, you can always use pregnancy exhaustion as part of your excuse for bailing early ;)

    UO in this thread, but I'm begging my friends to have a NYE wedding. DH likes to go out for NYE, so if I'm gonna spend a ton of money it might as well be on a gift for a friend and have the open bar thrown in (hypothetically, if I weren't pregnant).

    You could DVR the NYE festivities and celebrate it the next night with DD. Bonus being that you could start the evening a little earlier...
