I am standing up in a friends' wedding in california and have to bring my newborn ( 3 months) I have a baby sitter for the wedding, do you think it is rude to ask if I can bring the baby to the rehearsal diinner? the cost is adding up (flight, hotel, dress, gift, I had to throw her a shower, etc) and I really don't want to pay for another baby sitter?

if she wants dh there and you cannot afford sitter, tell her that you are going to brign the baby if that is Ok with her. if she says no then your dh shoudl stay back with kid. bride cannot have it both ways. you have already done a lot and are a new mother to boot. [ Reply | More

it isn't that I can't afford a sitter, it is just more money thrown out the window. even if we go for 3-4 hours, it is another 50 bucks and stress on my newborn that I don't want to ahve [ Reply | More

Then say that. Tell her that it's a lot for a NB and you'd all be more relaxed if baby could come to the dinner [ Reply | More

Ask her and find out. If she doesn't have kids herself, she may not understand all the issues for you. If she says no, have DH stay with DB. [ Reply | More

just ask. guess what, you are a mother with a child. and if she is your friend she has to learn to accept that. if she doesn't want kids at dinner then your dh stays at hotel with child if you do not want to pay for a sitter and stress your baby. it will be the first of many tough decisions you have to make as a mom.

a 3 month old is not going to run around wreak havoc -- and it's a rehearsal dinner which is usually more relaxed than say a wedding reception. I'd ask her. [ Reply | More

I think you have to ask the bride and just have a limit to the stops you pull out and lay down the law somewhere. And call her directly...I really hated it when guests had issues with something but did not have the balls to just call me and ask me. That in of itself is bad guest behavior. [ Reply | More
