Do you bring your baby to wedding or any formal occassion? I just got my bestfriend wedding invitation and have a dilemma whether i bring my 16 month old son or no.

If your baby adjusts to new environments you can take the baby with you. But, I guess, if there is no help, it may become a little difficult to manage the baby alone when you will have friends around to be with and do not want to miss on the dance or a drink. But if you think you can have all the fun with the baby being around, what can be better! Make sure, you carry her bag containing all her essentials.

It depends on the venue and time of the wedding. If it's an open concept wedding where I can just walk in and out, then yes. These are also usually held in the day so I can schedule baby's naptime accordingly. If it's a fancy hotel wedding that's usually held in the evening, I'd think twice about bringing baby just because he or she will be tired and having them get fussy during a toast or a march-in.

If you are confident in handling your son alone, why not? For me, I like to bring my baby to various occasions and let them expose to different people, in a way to let know learn how to socialise. Some points to take note when you take baby out include clash with naptime might be cranky, prepare meals for baby to bring out, bring some toys to occupy baby, bring baby carrier or stroller and etc.

I would ask my friend for permission first, check if he/she is comfortable with babies around, after all it’s the couple’s important day. If they are cool with having babies around, then I’ll discuss with my significant half if it’s ideal to bring little one, mainly will we be able to enjoy the wedding or event, stuff to bring and if there are places to change the little one.

All depends on you. If you think you can manage the child and enjoy the wedding at the same time, go ahead and take him. If you have a help to tag along, then it would be a bliss situation for you. But if you have an iota of doubt that the baby can behave nasty too, then let him be at home with your husband or family and have fun.

Agree that you should ask if babies are fine for the event. Otherwise I would say depends! If you want a full presence for your best friend (and possibly help out) then no. Personally I come from a noisy and big family so I like bringing my babies out so that they get to socialize and get used to crowds.

It depends. Firstly, do you have anyone to look after your 16M or is your partner going ? I suppose you are her bridemaid/ sisters that day, you will be busy helping her and no time for your LO. If your hubby is going, just bring him along if he dont fuss.

Sounds fun! :-) How about bringing someone also yo help you out so you can fully enjoy yourself as well. But If your baby is anxious about big crowds or the timing conincides with his nap, maybe you can leave him at home.

I bought my baby to friends wedding when he was 5 months old. Just bring him out of the ballroom before the yum seng starts. I personally loves to bring him around to expose to different person and environment.

Bringing a baby will entail planning, preparation and having to take care of the baby during the event. It won’t leave much time for you to be with anyone else much less your best friend. Think about it
