Hi moose - first of all - congrats and welcome to BB!

Now to the matter at hand... well my sister got married when my first bub was 5 wks old and I was a bridesmaid for her - I reluctantly said yes after much consideration. My DH was also in the bridal party so was a similar situation you may be in!

The morning of was ok, getting ready I had mum there to look after bub and I fed her just before we went off to the church - halfway through the ceremony though DD was hungry though and cried hysterically so my other sister missed most of the wedding to look after her! It was awful for me, I couldn't enjoy it as I was worried about bub the whole time, and "should I just go feed her" etc etc.

Straight after the ceremony I had to sit in the mothers room at the church half naked because I couldn't feed in the dress my sis had picked It took ages to feed her too, it usually takes longer in the early days!

I got changed for the reception (I refused to get half naked there!) and was completely exhausted! Luckily it wasn't a formal do so my responsibilities were over by then so I could just relax with DD.

Now, that was 5 weeks after her birth, and that was hard enough! I also went to a wedding as a guest when she was only 2wks old - the ceremony was fine, she just slept through the whole thing, the reception was ok - I had a room to myself that I could feed etc in - I was just in there for most of the night! So whatever you decide, prepare to miss out on some stuff...

All the best with your decision
