Someone asked Twitter if it’s okay to take a newborn to a child-free wedding, and the internet chose to speak now rather than hold their peace

No one should ever ask me etiquette questions, but I’d say that your husband being in the wedding should create an exception, even if there wouldn’t otherwise be one.

Child free means child free period. Not being mean but you are seriously overthinking this. It’s her day. Respect it. No need to ask her. She already told you the answer.

People who don’t want children around to disrupt their wedding *definitely* don’t want newborns around to disrupt their wedding.
And moral judgments from all sides notwithstanding, the hosts’ wishes should be honored. No kids [and yes, that absolutely means no newborns]

Of course it includes newborns. The whole point of a child-free wedding is so everyone’s attention is on the event and to avoid unnecessary interruption
a newborn crying to be fed, changed or what have you during important aspects of the wedding is exactly what is trying to be…

Until a new born is more like a fully developed mammal, they should not count.
“No kid” weddings are for three year olds who will not sit still, could break things, have a meltdown, or get in the way of the catering staff.

Yes, it includes newborns. We had an adult only evening wedding. Had some friends that couldn’t attend because of childcare issues. Then, someone showed up with a newborn “oh the baby’s not eating” they said. We asked them to leave. It wasn’t fair to the other people we had…

This whole thing is pissing me off. You’re a terrible friend & a questionable mom if you think bringing your newborn to a child free wedding is ok. End of story. https://t.co/c6TVFRHapV
