Hi there. Hoping for some good advice here. Ive been asked, with a week to go before our big day, whether a couple could bring their daughter to our wedding in the evening because they can't get a babysitter for the evening and they have work the next day so would just be easier if they can come because they can't travel the hour to get her the following day.

We have said explicitly from the outset - family children or babes in arms only. We have said we would rather our friends come and enjoy the night being child free. There's one baby a month old coming. I have been told I've left it very grey and could be confusing but I don't see it that way. My gut says no. They have had 10 months to plan this and sort it out and my FH says just let them come. But I'm concerned as to what other people may think if we allow this when we have been explicit with others. I will add we don't have children yet so I'm not thinking from that position just yet. This has happened on a few occasions at other weddings we have been too with this couple too and because of this I'm aware that the child and the mother probably wouldn't stay long as a result, as child is only a toddler, which is why FH says let them come.
