Weddings are special, magical celebrations, full of love, laughter and memories. There’s fancy food, exciting entertainment, and stylish outfits; for everyone from the bride and groom to the tiniest guests – your babies.

Finding the right outfit for your baby to wear to a wedding can be tricky, though. You want them to be comfortable, you want the clothes to be practical – you’ll still need to change nappies, after all – and, you don’t want to be spending a month’s wages on their wardrobe when it’ll all end up covered in milk, snot, tears, cake, and goodness knows what else.
