I think I'll be erring on the side of caution here. @PixieStix: @FoodNerd81: You're right. Better to have him smiling and comfortable, rather than upset by constricting clothing. It's been really hot here this week, so the formal outfit might be too much for him, anyway. I'll gauge it off his comfort level, but maybe just take a picture of him in the formal outfit at our hotel for my aunt to see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285540 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 10:48:34 +0000 Astro Bee 2285540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RegberaDaisy: He looks really cute in the bowtie onesie. He wore it for his passport photo, and looked like a little Winston Churchill, complete with double chin. Much cuter, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285412 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 08:47:33 +0000 snowjewelz 2285412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go with comfy. You're probably holding him a lot so people won't see his pants much anyway! And prob can't tell what kind of pants in pics, aside that it's dark! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285326 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 06:44:03 +0000 PixieStix 2285326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go with the second option. Better to have a comfortable, happy baby than one who may get fussy in a more complicated outfit. Happy baby = happy guests. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285317 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 06:34:26 +0000 regberadaisy 2285317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The bow tie one is cute too!!! You're not directly related or in wedding party, no need to be formal. People will think he's cute irregardless. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285227 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 21:24:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 2285227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Astro Bee: I love that bow tie one! </p> <p>So, if you don't care about actually using the formal one, in that case I wouldn't bother. It does seem uncomfortable. I think the hipster one would be fine, or a polo with some khaki pants or something. He's an infant, people are just going to think he's adorable in anything- and he will be much cuter happy in a plain onesie than crying in an uncomfortable outfit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285166 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 19:55:03 +0000 Astro Bee 2285166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Other polo/onesie options are below. They all seem a little casual, though. More in line with the cute, but comfy route. </p> [attach=5397/15/nuc2js.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285165 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 19:51:33 +0000 ShootingStar 2285165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Astro Bee: Aw thanks 😊. Yeah the outfit was comfortable but still dressy. And the shirt was just like a grown up button down, but it had the snaps at the bottom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285159 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 19:43:47 +0000 PawPrints 2285159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would use the formal outfit for the ceremony and find something else for the reception, if even just a solid-color onesie. I think the printed-on suspenders are extremely casual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285158 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 19:42:06 +0000 Astro Bee 2285158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: Okay, so it's just like a regular grown-up button-down, with a onesie attachment at the legs? It's really cute, and would be great for a wedding - dressed up, but not uncomfortable. Also, your son is absolutely adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285153 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 19:35:06 +0000 ShootingStar 2285153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Astro Bee: Here's a picture of the outfit. It's a button down shirt that snaps at the bottom like a onesie. As you can see it's long sleeve, but if it had been warm I would have just rolled up the sleeves. I understand not wanting to buy anything special for the occasion. I think I got the shirt on clearance at Carters and the pants he already had.</p> <p>[attach=2504/15/nuc1mi.450x600.IMG_3043.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285151 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 19:34:40 +0000 Astro Bee 2285151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tiger: Ha, nope! SIL was over for dinner last night. I had put him in the onesie bc it was our anniversary. So she's already seen him in it, and we are off the hook! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285150 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 19:31:38 +0000 Astro Bee 2285150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RegberaDaisy: @Mrs. Oatmeal: @Mrs. Champagne: @FoodNerd81: The formal outfit was bought by my aunt, who won't be at the wedding. Neither will SIL, so no one would be the wiser, unless they saw pictures. I'm a little worried that DS would fuss in the formal one. But then, he might be fine. The formal one is sized 6/9 months, and I assume that it was meant for Christmas. But LO is already wearing 9-month onesies and footsies. I doubt it would still fit him by Christmas. </p> <p>@ShootingStar: Do you have a picture of the button-down onesie? Is it long-sleeved or short? I just can't picture it. That being said, I don't want to buy another outfit. We are also not family, so wouldn't be in any of the formal pictures. I've never even met the bride! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285146 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 19:26:24 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2285146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Astro Bee: ohhh! Is the SIL the one getting married? If so then absolutely use that one :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285140 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 19:20:03 +0000 Astro Bee 2285140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tiger: The tie isn't printed on, but attached. The suspenders are printed on. It's kind of hipster, actually; but so is my SIL, who bought it. We have some polos that might be appropriate for a back-up. I'm trying to avoid buying an additional outfit, that he might never wear again. He's growing so fast! </p> [attach=5397/15/nuc0xf.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285134 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 19:13:50 +0000 ShootingStar 2285134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't go with either. The first is way too dressy for me to put on a 5 month old, and a the 2nd one is too casual. When my DS was 10 months, my brother got married. I got him a blue striped button down onesie and paired that with gray pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285133 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 19:13:21 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2285133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I agree!<br /> I'm all about the comfy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285132 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 19:12:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 2285132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will you ever use the formal one otherwise? And will the gift giver of that one be at the wedding? I feel like you may as well use it for the ceremony so at least you get to use it once, then change into the comfy outfit. Bring pjs as a backup. </p> <p>That said if he wakes up and is cranky and not having it, I wouldn't force the fancy outfit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285130 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 19:10:17 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2285130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd actually go for one of those polo shirt or button down onesies instead of the printed on tie, then I think the onesie/jeggings look is fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285125 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 19:08:36 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2285125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go for the comfortable one! Its cute, and he'll be happier in the long run, probably! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285123 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 19:07:57 +0000 regberadaisy 2285123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cute but comfortable! I hate putting babies in overly dressy clothes that aren't comfortable if I don't have to. You're just a guest, not immediate family and not in the wedding party so go cute but comfortable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-outfit-to-wear-to-a-wedding#post-2285121 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 19:04:49 +0000 Astro Bee 2285121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 5 months old, and will be attending a wedding with us on Saturday. None of us are in the wedding party, and are attending as guests of the groom. </p> <p>We were given two outfits by family, but not for this specific event. One is a formal outfit, with a button-up shirt and clip-on tie, with a vest and polyester pants. The other is a cotton onesie with a cotton tie attached to it. The suspenders are printed on. I'd pair it with the black jeggings pictured. </p> <p>The second option would be much more comfortable for LO, but the first is probably more wedding appropriate. The ceremony is at a church, and the reception is at a private golf course/club. If I went with the third option below, I'd need to bring a yet third outfit (as a backup for spitups, diaper leaks). What do you think? </p> [attach=5397/15/nuc09s.450x600.image.jpg] [attach=5397/15/nuc09t.450x600.image.jpg]
