You would be pushing the envelope and the ice breaker. If you are confident in your ability to deal with the fallout so be it. Just realize you are breaking tradition and people will react. That's mostly their problem until and unless they make it yours. This would be a bold move for a new hire and you might be that guy who opens a new door. Personally I wouldn't press to test.

You do you, but be aware of the management generational differences and go into this with your eyes wide open. I'm not saying anything will or will not come of this but it would be a shock to the system. I'm not saying it's right but someone will react to this. Will it go further than a personal reaction, who knows?

With this public debate and the company professing to embrace millennial culture may be you'll get a personal invite for +2 instead of +1. We have gone out of our way here to accommodate and promote various lifestyles perhaps family unity is the next barrier. My wife is a dietician and whole heartedly promotes natural nursing. She would have definitely shocked the system. The time wasn't right back then and may still not be.

Just my $.02. I wouldn't want to see any backlash or difficulty for someone new. You have enough on your plate.
