Babies at the reception

We aren't having children. Just the girls who are in the bridal party who are my nieces. But I would assume he would have a stroller and be with your sister the whole night

Same question! And at what age do kids get their own chair? I know nothing about children sooooo no idea.

ETA not to be an asshole but I don't understand commenting when you have absolutely nothing to add to the question?

Following, I don't know the first thing about babies or what's needed at what age.

At 5 months they may not be able to sit in a highchair yet. Check with the mom and see. Sometimes they can't hold their head up until 6 months.

I have several infants that might be attending and I am leaving a chair space for each one between the parents, because when my son was an infant I took his car seat with me and set him in that for feeding him and to help me feed myself. Juggling a baby while also trying to feed yourself is difficult. Also parents can move the chair away and put the stroller there if they bring strollers - it's much easier to have the baby sitting out of the way, in a normal table space, rather than out where people are trying to walk.

I would probably leave a seat in case they have a car seat that they want to lay the baby down in.

@Bailey, I wasn't sure if it just depended on the parent, or if there was some form of proper etiquette

I would think a 'seat' would be nice. Even if it's for all of the baby stuff that the parents bring...or eliminate the car & leave it open for stroller space. IMO, you should not have to pay for the littles' dinner though :o

Thank you all! That's what I'm thinking. I'll be sure to have a space for the baby, whether that is a chair, high chair, or place to park the stroller id rather have it at the table than in a walk way

Most babies start sitting in a high chair around that age but you never know if the baby in question will. I think you should stick to a chair or an empty space for the stroller. Definitely depends on the unique baby in question.

Yes definitely save them a seat.

@Jennifer T, most babies can hold their heads up at about 2 months. 4-6 months is rolling over and 6 months is sitting up, sometimes trying to crawl.

Have a seat. Babies come with a lot of shit. If I were going to a wedding when my son was that young, I would have had him in a wrap, but he was eating solid food at 5 months so you need to ask the mom if a high chair is necessary.

I have a 6 month old and honestly just having a spot for the stroller or somewhere to put the carseat would help! Sometimes high chairs don't always fit either, see if she is bringing a half high that can fit in a chair. I hope this helps!!

I'm having a highchair for my daughter, she'll be 10 months for our wedding. My advice tho is to double check with your venue if they will have a high chair available for anyone needing and if not consider how you'll provide one for the little one I'll be bringing my own!

Good question! Following! I would assume they would have a seat so the carrier could go on it when not in use.

Add him but can he sit in the stroller

I would reserve a chair for him so she at least has a place for the carrier/her baby bag

I would say ask the parent, but also you may want to leave a spot open next to mom even though the babe is to young for the high chair so she has enough space to put the stroller/ carrier/ hell even diaper bag for caring for an extra human without crowding the people at her table.

We have high chairs and no table setting on those spots. Parents would either turn it upside down for a carseat or move it for a stroller.

I would just ask the moms if you can. We had two little ones at our reception and one didn't want a seat/high chair but asked if there was a place to feed, and the other brought a stroller and kept her daughter in the stroller the whole time. I think it's personal preference rather than etiquette when it comes to babies.
