Newborns but not kids

Rachel, on May 2, 2017 at 09:28 Posted in Wedding reception 0 4

Hey Ladies

We have 3 friends who are all having babies end of September but are very important to us and are very much looking forward to coming to the wedding. We aren't having kids since we simply just don't have the room as its a smaller venue/wedding. However that being said, i don't think that these new moms will be able to leave their little ones at home and want to give them the option of having them there. no doub thtey will have to leave early and we have a bridal sweet above our room that they can use if needed. We have lots of other friedns with toddler aged children who we can't have as the venue is counting them as kids. How to you invite the newborns but not any of the other kids?

    Overall, I would let everyone know that children are not invited. If you know that some people will have a newborn and could be nursing during that time, I would reach out to them individually. If there is space, arrange to have a nursing station so they have a space to feel comfortable. Other guests that have older children should not feel bothered by newborns are at the wedding. They would have gone through that stage before at some point and should be understanding.

    I would just speak to the friends with babies individually (either in person or over the phone) and not include it on the invitations. If anyone asks about bringing other children, I would let them know that unfortunately you won't be able to accommodate any additional guests and not bring up the babies.

    I think that most people will accept breastfeeding babies/newborns at your wedding even though other kids have not been invited. It is a little difficult to leave your 2 month old baby at home if you and your partner are going somewhere together. We only invited my FH's nephews as some will be ring bearers but no other children and our friends seem to be ok with that. We put it up on our wedding website and also sent everyone an e-mail concerning the "kid issue". Maybe add something to your invitations if you haven't sent them out yet? If it is your venues rule that no children are allowed then you cannot really change that fact or get around it. Is your venue ok with newborns? It's really nice that you are letting them use your suite. I hope it all works out for you.
