2 month baby at mine and fiances ceremony?

My future sister in law will have a two month old baby when our wedding comes. My fiancé and I are having a videographer in a very small venue with only immediate family attending. We wanted to ask her if the baby could be watched by someone else JUST for the ceremony which will be about 30 minutes tops. We still want the baby there for the reception and everything else. Our fear is just having the baby cry while we’re walking down the aisle (there’s no where for her to go if the baby cries besides walking down the aisle while we are) or while we’re doing vows. I don’t know. I just need advice or opinions. Thank you.

I should probably state this. The ceremony is a closed ceremony with family only (20 people). She’s the only one with a baby so that’s why I asked it where it sounds like I’m targeting only her but it’s really just because she’s the only one 😅 it wasn’t meant in a rude way.

I mean 2 month old babies usually still sleep the majority of the day away.But you can make the request but honestly I would think of high possibility of them not coming at all. I mean reality is I wouldn’t because while my son is good and easy to manage I am not going to make someone slightly judging me if he makes the smallest noise above me taking care of him how he sees fit.Too much stress in my opinion.

Settings like this just make you anxious because the looks at any sound are just too much.

Tell them the ceremony is child free. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s your wedding and it’s not unreasonable to want it to be quiet, and no interrupted by a screaming baby. It’s rude to me to even bring a baby that age to a wedding. 🤷🏼‍♀️

And just to add, I think letting everyone know the ceremony is child free is fine, I just don’t think it’s okay to single them out because the baby will be 2m. Allow all kids or no kids.

I mean. Yeah. When we get married our Ceremony will be child free. And i would 100 percent expect some people with kids to not come if they cant bring them. Thats okay too 👌🏼🤷‍♀️

Sounds like you don't have children....newborns are probably the easiest to manage compared to older infants or toddlers. They have very simple needs. Baby would probably sleep through the whole thing. I have two toddlers and my kids would be running all over the place screaming during the ceremony. It would be very distracting. Id never bring my toddlers to a wedding but I could see myself bringing a newborn. A newborn might scream for a min but nothing a bottle or boob can't fix. Toddlers or older infants..not so much. I personally would make it either no kids or kids at the ceremony. I wouldn't single them out because their child is the youngest. I'd be prepared that they aren't gonna come though.

I wouldnt go. I dont like leaving a new baby or taking children to weddings, so i would just stay home. I do find it relatively funny that people get so up in arms over a baby fussing and say it would “ruin” their wedding. Different strokes for different folks i guess 🤷🏽‍♀️
