@travelgirl1: You're totally justified in your paranoia :). Ring slings are awesome though! They're (whoever that is) actually recommending that RS users don't use any reclined holds anymore. We started using our RS a ton over the past few months in a hip carry. She loves being carried, but doesn't love that she can't see everything in the Ergo or Beco. Using the RS solves that! When done correctly, baby is seated with knees out and above bum just like in the Ergo.

I wore DS at about 3 months at a summer (outdoor) wedding. I used the Ergo in the front carry position, and it was fine. I'm sure I wasn't the most fashionable person at that wedding, but I didn't have to be, lol, since I was just a guest. It was hot, so I just stripped DS down to his little chinos (and rolled his pants into capris). Luckily, my dress was short and breezy, and the reception area was shaded, so it wasn't too bad.

Eta: It was July in Montana, so it was hot (90's), but pretty low humidity. I'd be worried about the humidity in Spain than the heat, thouh.

My SIL is getting married in two weeks and I plan on putting LO in the Ergo for most of the reception! Unfortunately she doesn't nap well in her stroller, although that's what I plan on using when she's awake just so she'll have somewhere to sit. But being that we'll be there from 7am-5pm (DH is a groomsmen), she's going to need to nap! I already told my SIL that I'm going to have to change because I don't want to ruin my dress! Luckily, she could care less. I've worn LO for 3+ hours and was fine so I imagine I can still dance the afternoon away. And it's indoors with AC so no heat to contend with. Wish me luck!

@travelgirl1: Side carry probably would be cooler. I put DS in the front carry so he'd nap (which he did for over an hour!) And it wasn't unbearably hot. I think, since it's an evening wedding, you'd probably be fine.

I wore DS during the reception portion of the wedding, so at least I was hands-free while eating. As for cute outfit, at least my skirt was cute, and my baby is my best accessory!
