Wedding guest slammed for 'meddling' after bride refuses to provide high chair
A woman who was told by the bride that there would be no high chair for the baby she'd be looking after at the wedding decided to take matters into her own hands.
Despite being told there would be no high chairs available, the guest called the venue and convinced them to supply three of them, which could then be used by parents attending the wedding. Once the meddling was over, the guest contacted the bride to let her know.
However, hours later the bride called to say that those three high chairs had been spoken for by other guests who would be attending with their babies. Sharing her frustration, the guest who convinced the venue to get the chairs in the first place asked whether the bridesmaid's baby, who she would be looking after, should have been entitled to a high chair since she was the one who sorted them in the first place.
Posting to parenting forum Mumsnet's, the wedding guest explained: "Extended family have been invited to a wedding, baby in our party will be nearly 1. We found out from the bride there will be no high chairs available.
"We contacted the venue and they have agreed to now supply three high chairs. We told the bride, expecting her to let us have one of the high chairs as we had sorted but a few hours later she rang to say she was allocated to other guests with babies attending. Am I being unreasonable to think as we sorted high chairs with venue we should be able to use one?"

Whilst some comments came to the guest's defence others told her she must stop "meddling" and others criticised the bride for having "zero idea of how to host." One person said: "If there were only three and she knew that then she hasn't allocated you one, or if she didn't know and still hasn't, she is kind of saying your baby doesn't matter to her in guest terms. If this was my wedding I would arrange for you to have a highchair, simple. Some people have zero idea how to host. Imagine inviting someone and saying there is no seat for them, absurd."
Whilst another person simply said: "Stop interfering." A third person agreed to say: "Exactly, You're meddling. Just don't go if it bothers you. Your baby isn't a priority."
Whilst this guest could be seen as meddling and being a nuisance, further down in the forum comments the guest confirmed that actually, the chair wasn't for her o;d child. The child the guest is babysitting at the wedding belongs to one of the bridesmaids in the wedding party.
The extra comment added to the discussion said: "Not my baby but I will be looking after them as her Mother is a bridesmaid and will be busy / sitting at the top table." After reading this information, a fourth person said: "In that case, you need one. You are doing a huge favour to the wedding party! Why isn’t mum/bridesmaid getting involved in this?"
