How do i go about having newborns at my wedding?

We will have lots of small babies at our wedding and I think as long as the ceremony is simple and not very long you shouldn't have a problem. You could also sit her on the end away from the aisle incase she needs to quietly take the baby out

We will also have newborns at our wedding —- doesn’t seem like a huge deal, the parents just hold them and can take them to another room if they cry. Good idea to seat them on the aisle for an easy exit.

Also, does this baby have two parents??? Your entire post only mentions the mother??

We had eight children under 10, four of whom were under 2. There were no disturbances in the ceremony (even for our nephew, both of whose parents were in the wedding) - we kept it short and sweet, because that was what we wanted, but it definitely helped in keeping the kids quiet lol. A couple of the little guys were upset during the reception, but their parents took care of it, and we barely noticed.

Just leave it up to the parents, they'll have got it down by October lol.

This was a challenge for me as my initial vision was a “no kids” wedding. That ended up changing in a few ways, but the general etiquette is that you can’t really expect nursing/bottle feeding babies to be left home. There’s a small chance that they may cry and interrupt the ceremony, but that’s pretty low and most new parents are so nervous about their baby making a sound at someone else’s “moment” that they’re prepared for it.
So for example, one of my best college friends is bringing her 6 month old to my wedding. Her husband is going to hang back in their hotel room for the ceremony and keep an eye on the baby and and just bring him to the reception where we’ve made sure there will be a spot for the carrier- right next to all the grannies who will be over the moon to keep an eye on him so my friend and her husband can have a good time but still be close.
At the end of the day, if it’s someone you really want there, you’ll miss her more than you’ll care that the baby whimpered. ❤️

I think you’re overthinking. One baby is unlikely to cause a big disruption. By then, the parents should have a good understanding as to how to gauge the baby’s needs (meltdown prevention), and should be considerate enough to be on top of it. My niece was the only baby at our wedding. We just planned everything normally and simply stuck a high chair at the table with my brother and SIL. We even had her carried down the aisle and she sat in my brother’s lap in the front row at the ceremony and was a perfect angel. We didn’t hear a peep from her— they kept her entertained/quiet. So, we didn’t plan anything specially for dealing with her, simply trusted that her parents would take care of her.

I mean I think I gave her a flower to play with right before we walked down the aisle, and hah was the extent of it. That kept her entertained for a good long while.

You don't need to do anything special. Invite them, she'll probably bring the baby, and then the baby will be there. That's all.

We invited all kids to our wedding, and had no interruptions. I'm sure if the baby starts crying she will get up from the ceremony space and go outside to console her baby.

Thabk you all for your input. I'm just mildly paranoid since I want everything to go perfectly and me and SIL arent exactly the best of friends lol

That child would not be considered a Newborn at that point. He or she would most likely be crawling by then.

She may not want to bring the Baby. That’s not a place for people under the age of One since they haven’t had all their shots yet.

I'm inviting everyone along with their children to our wedding. I'm sure if the baby starts to get fussy she will get up. I hope she decides to sit towards the back or the end of an aisle so she has a quick get away if need be.

I have 15 nieces and nephews, a good chunk of them are under 10. Even tho they are all invited my siblings made it clear they want the kids to stay home so they can have a night out for themselves. Maybe your sister will want to keep the baby home. Have you talked to her about it?
