Wedding is in 18 Days, gah! We have a number of new moms who are nursing. We aren't having kids or babies at the wedding; however, we'd like to make the nursing mamas lives as easy as possible considering the circumstances. We will be offering the bridal suite so that they can have some privacy (well, private amongst other nursing moms pumping at least). The venue said that they have a refrigerator, but that it's used for food and that if it were her (the venue coordinator), she'd just bring her own cooler for sanitary reasons.
The question is, how do bring this up with new moms? I feel like if I were a nursing mom attending a wedding I would want to know what the scoop was in advance - like, will I have a place to nurse? Should we bring the car instead of take the shuttle? Where should I put my stuff? Anyway, do I send the ladies a text saying "hey mamas, we've reserved a suite for you at the reception venue for you and other nursing moms. While the venue says you can use their fridge, they recommended bringing your own cooler for sanitary reasons". Or should I bring a cooler and mention that they can use that? But then it makes it weird when they need to go back to the hotel with milk and such and splitting it up. Or do I mention it the day of the wedding?? And if so, how? . . . Any moms out there who can help a somewhat clueless but hopeful bride? :-)
