     Correct wedding inviation wording  

My son and his fiance were planning on getting married in this fall, but instead are getting married in the spring because of the birth of their son.

Because of this, they asked me (my husband and I are paying for the wedding)if I would mind if the used the baby's name to invite the guests?

It doesn't matter to me, I just want to know if this is correct etiquette (they are having a non-traditional wedding on the beach) or is it totally tacky?

Since etiquette is based on common sense, as yourself these questions: Can the baby really invite? How would I feel and what would I think if I got an invitation to a wedding from a baby?

I know your son is probably thinking this is cute, but I think most guests would find a baby inviting them to the wedding of his parents to be, at least, confusing. From the emails and correspondence we get here, people still feel as though a couple should be married before they have children and if they do have children before marriage, that they get married in a very informal ceremony.

I guess we're all getting back to basics. Ignore Hollywood/celebrities.

I agree. The baby really can't invite or host the wedding. Your names should be listed as hosts.
