Wedding 3 months after due date

I am a matron of honor for a wedding next NYE and this is my first pregnancy so I don't know how I am going to feel. The bride wants us to get a hotel room with her for the night before the wedding and night of. I'm expecting twins and although I will have help from my mom, what advice do you girls have for me? I plan to BF but I guess I'll have them adjust to bottles pretty quickly. I'm planning to skip the night before the wedding but what do you girls think about the night of? Any tips?

I was the matron of honor in my best friend's wedding. I was due March 6th and her wedding was March 8th. I told her that I obviously could not guarantee that I would be there and I would step down if she wanted but as long as the doctors did not tell me that I could not be there I would be there. I had my son February 25th and I was at her wedding on March 8th. I did not stay at the hotel with her the night before or stay at the hotel the night of. I did not think it would be very relaxing for her to have a 2 week old in the roomt he night before the wedding. There was no way I was going to leave my son with my husband and my mom overnight that early. Is the wedding local? The wedding I was in was local so my mom was able to bring the baby to the wedding and I went into the bridal suite to breast feed. Turns out he was not exclusively breast fed because of supply issues so my mom also fed my son formula. But you can probably start pumping to get a supply so that you can have your mom feed the babies breast milk.

I got to the hotel at like 10am that morning and was at the wedding until about 1am. My husband (who was also in the bridal party) got to the hotel at like 1:30pm and was at the wedding until 1am.

It's a matter of preference. I had a wedding 5 weeks after dd was born and I enjoyed myself. Yes you'll be pumping a lot but that's not terrible esp since you're in the bridal party you can use the suite instead of a bathroom stall. I also had my mom watch dd over night so I could get some sleep. I personally don't think id do 2 night away though at that age. Do you have someone willing to watch the twins for an overnight? If so book the room for one night (IMO I'd do the wedding night with Dh instead if the night before with the bride) and play it by ear

I did not stay over for my BFs wedding or the night before, and my son was a bit older. It was just too hard for me to leave him emotionally, and he was exclusively BF. Every one understood. I also had 2 bachelorette parties in AC which I drove to for the day and came home by 11pm. It was tough but worked for me and still had fun!

I think your friend would understand if you dont stay over due to the timing. My cousin was a bridesmaid in my wedding this past March and she was due 3 weeks before my wedding date. I left it up to her if she wanted to get ready with us or if she wanted to meet up later closer to the ceremony time. I wanted her to do what was best for her and the baby. Nobody wants someone with them the morning of their wedding getting ready who is stressing and annoyed to be there because of the time commitment. I am sure a good friend will respect your decision, you wont even be missing any of the wedding, just time before/after at the hotel which I do not think is unreasonable given you having infants at home.
