Are Child-Free Weddings a Blessing or a Burden on Mums?

July 16, 2015

The invite for my sister’s wedding arrived, and after cooing over the chic design and Googling the venue there was an unexpected footnote that caught my attention. “PLEASE NOTE,” it read in capital letters, “THIS IS NOT A CHILD FRIENDLY EVENT.”

Well, um, okay.

If you want to open Pandora’s box of pain, it turns out there’s your shortcut. BOOM.

Jade Warne is the Hipster Mum, the eldest daughter in a family of 14 children raised by nuns on the beaches of Sydney, Australia. Just kidding! There were actually only seven of them, all raised by the kind of super-mum who makes nuns look like slackers: entrepreneurial, talented, kind, beautiful, and scandalously stylish. As the high-powered (read: high-strung) kid of the bunch, she studied finance and pitched stories to magazines on the side, eventually winding up at Marie Claire and Women's Health. These days, she offers a creative guide to parenting at Hipster Mum. Check out Hipster Mum on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and get liking already!
