To Attend or Not to Attend a Wedding in October!

Hi all! I have a personal opinion question… I am due Sept 10 and our very amazing friends are getting married October 8th. It is a local wedding (15 mins from our house). I understand that with a September 10th due date I can go as early as end of august or as late as end of September. I hope to breast feed.

I am a first time mom so I was hoping to get some opinions on what you would do in this situation? If you were to go how would you prepare? Thank you all so much!!

    Welcome to the board! This question would be better suited under the Great Big Question Thread as we try to keep one-off threads to a minimum. You're also likely to get more responses there and learn more about the ladies in our online community. It would also be wonderful if you could stop by the Introductions thread and tell us more about yourself as well. 😊

    My best and oldest friend came to my wedding with her 8 week old baby. It meant the world to me, but I would have completely understood if she skipped it - absolutely no judgement. That being said, our wedding was super informal and kid friendly. She also baby wore him and didn’t let anyone hold him due to his age and covid. Not really an answer for you, but may some perspective.

    My girlfriend came to my wedding 4 weeks postpartum. She left baby with grandma. She stuck around awhile and had a great time.

    I'd say make tentative plans to go and then decide after baby arrives if you want to attend or not. Ask your friend if it's OK that you decide a bit later as you have no way of knowing if you'll be up to it or not. Babywearing is a good idea if you do decide to go. Wards of people trying to get too close or wanting to hold baby.

    I agree with @babywiik! Since you can't predict when baby will be born, how you will be feeling, etc., I would just be honest with your friends that you can't give them a yes or no right now.

    I’m also due Sept 10 and have a good friends wedding Oct 2, also local. I am planning to go (as long as I’m healthy and baby is healthy) for at least the ceremony, but I think I’ll play it a little by ear as it gets closer. I’m sure I will not be wanting to put a dress on and leave my baby but I want to at least make an effort since they’re good friends
