[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's really simple.

If you received your own invitation, which included a +1, and you RSVPed with a +1, you can tell them DH had to go out of town and you'd like to swap him for your daughter.

If your daughter would be an extra person not included in the plans, then you can't bring her to the reception. You could bring her to the ceremony if it's in a church, since that's a public place.

I received my own invitation, and was going to attend with my husband, but he won’t be able to attend.[/quote]

So do they already have 2 from your family in the headcount or what?  If they do then just call and explain that DH is out of town and ask if you can bring DD instead- provided it's not a child-free wedding of course.  If you only RSVP'd for 1 then no.  Find someone to stay with your daughter and start working on the anxiety.

It would be crappy to just cancel now when you should have figured this out before sending the RSVP, because even if your DH was attending you still would have the issue with DD staying alone right?  We had a few people cancel last minute for our wedding for non-emergency reasons and it was really annoying.  e.g., a good friend from college who lived out of town had asked if they could bring their toddler because they didn't want to leave them with family.  I said yes, then literally the day before the wedding she texts me "Sorry, Larla has been hating riding in the car lately so we won't be able to come after all."[/quote]
