My fiancé and I just got engaged. My sister in law is 13 weeks pregnant and is due on January 7th. Our wedding is going to be in Louisiana and she lives in California. We really want her to be able to attend the wedding , but we know it will be hard for her. The dates we are looking at is November 20th (she will be 33 weeks pregnant) or February 26th the baby will be 2 months old. SIL said that February 26th is too soon post pregnancy and I understand. It won’t be safe for baby. Honestly, I don’t know what to do. We don’t want to keep pushing the date back because we want to plan to try for a baby soon and don’t want to to keep pushing it back . Am I being selfish? I don’t know what to do . By the way, we would talk to her , but she’s getting married today and we don’t want to take away any of her joy , put any attention on us or cause any stress for her.

I would first find a venue and see what dates they have available (21/22 dates are pretty booked up already). As much as you want SIL to be there, don't choose your date solely because of her (What happens if she is bedridden last 2 months, etc.). You are not being selfish and you and FH shouldn't postpone/put your lives on hold.

I personally don’t think you should plan your life around someone else’s. Book the venue for the date you and your fiancé want and if your fsil can be there, she will be.

Definitely agree with previous people- don’t plan your wedding around somebody else’s life. This is your wedding- if she can attend great if not maybe zoom it?

Don’t plan your wedding day about anyone’s schedule but your own! If you want to get married on November 20th or February 26, find venues that still have openings and go for it. We’re getting married in 2023, but I had my date set before we looked at venues. I kept telling people, if they didn’t have the date I wanted, it wasn’t meant to be!

Plan what you want and if she can make it great. Don’t plan your life around someone else.

As someone who is 28 weeks pregnant, I would NOT be flying across the country at 33 weeks, personally.
As everyone else said, you plan for what you can do, and hopefully she can make it... if not... well, over COVID people got really good at streaming weddings! (Bonus, this way, if the baby cries/has to feed, it's entirely private.)
