My partner sent save the dates to all his friends and asked them to send back their email addresses. Two friends who he’s not close with, but are part of a wider group who are all invited, didn’t send their emails back. One of them liked his save the dates message and the other didn’t reply.

Fast forward to now and the invites went out a month ago, but as I didn’t have their emails, I didn’t send them to them.

He says they didn’t bother sending their email addresses and one didn’t even reply so he’s happy for us to just leave it and not invite them. I feel a bit awkward for the person who liked the message but didn’t send their email, I don’t feel bad about the person who didn’t acknowledge the save the date.

He is genuinely not close with them and I don’t really want people there we aren’t close with but is there any formal etiquette I’m missing or shall we just leave it and move on with our lives?!

Hi all, we are getting married at the registry office on a Monday in June and I want to book a table for brunch after for us, our parents and a couple of friends. It’ll be 8/9 people. Nowhere good seems to be open on a Monday but we are not usually going out for brunch on a Monday so I could be wrong.

We love the nectar house on Gloucester Road but it’s a bit small, considered sundial kitchen but no open on a Monday.

Would loaf be a good option? We’re vegan but the others aren’t so somewhere that caters for all would be fab.

Hi everyone, my 20 month old has quite long wake windows (always has) and they can vary from 5-9 hours depending on what we’re doing. How do you navigate the in between stage when they still need a nap but it’s hard to get them to nap at a reasonable time?

One day a week she’s with my mum and will nap in the pram by default at around 11.30am - 1pm

Nursery 3 days a week she’s naps when I ask and they magically get her down whenever that is. I put a 1pm wake up cap (it recently was 2pm but she was up until 9.30pm!)

With us 3 days a week she tends to nap whenever it suits the day despite me trying to provide lots of sleep situations at an appropriate time (going out for a walk in the pram or a drive in the car when she’d ordinarily sleep). Last week she didn’t nap until 3pm so I woke her up at 3.45pm and she was up until 10.

I don’t mind her going to bed around 8pm in the summer but I always have to wake her up for the day around 7.30am because she is taking over an hour to get down to sleep.

We stopped breastfeeding a few weeks ago so naturally bedtime is taking longer. Not sure she’s ready to drop the nap she feels very young.

She can nap early for 2 hours and as long as she’s awake early bedtime will be easy and at a good time, but if she doesn’t nap until later even if it’s shorter, she’s up for hours.

Each change we put in we give it 2 weeks to see a difference, we recently increased her maximum sleep time with nursery to make sure she wasn’t over tired and it did help with night wakes so we’re sticking to it for now.

Just don’t really know how to ensure she gets enough sleep, gets up at a good time for the day, and also has some kind of nap?!

We’re also very relaxed so I never try to force a nap, if she’s singing in the car I just guess she isn’t tired enough and we try again a bit later.
