Children At Your Marriage Celebration
Why leave children out of your wedding? They can add so much to the excitement and fun of your wedding.
Underfoot, troublesome, kids are how many think of little ones attending a wedding. It can be a problem. children are always looking for something to keep their attention. If you do not give it to them they will find something to do on their own. Usually the things they find are not what you want them to find.
The children are coming! The little ones are coming! Now what?
Tip : Separate and Isolate. It is often quite easy to set up a separate room for infants, toddlers, and small children. You can recruit someone to take charge of the little ones and care for them while their parents are participating in the wedding. Still, some parents will insist on keeping their babies with them.
Do not just isolate the children, plan exciting and age appropriate activities to keep them involved. The more engaged children are; the happier they are. You want happy children. Unhappy little ones emerge when left to their own devices.
Can you imagine what it would be like four or five years after your marriage celebration to have older children reminiscing over a fantastic kids event you held at your wedding? Instead, of thinking just of the usual childcare issues, think outside the box. Imagine a fantastic kids event maybe with magic, music, or friendly clowns. You can make a big impact.
A blended family may find it especially meaningful to include the kids in responding to the pledges by adding an appropriate set of questions to the parents and then to the children. The little ones respond “I do”.
A special event for a blended family is more that a normal wedding. There are more people involved than just the bride and groom. This event sets the stage for all future family life. As a result it can be a great idea to use wedding vows that include children.
Your marriage celebration reception can be an exciting family event by including the kids in your activities. Be sure to protect them from potentially inappropriate situations. Provide added activity supports like coloring books for smaller children, but be sure to include the little ones in as much of the activity as possible including the dancing. This is not only cute to watch, and could be entertaining as well, but it will bring a smile to the face of every grandma and grandpa present.
The key to including kids is to include them. Nobody wants to be lift out, pushed aside, or ignored – not even children. Give them special duties and they will love every minute. Ask yourself, “What could the kids do to help?” The possibilities are huge if you give it some thought: errands, greeting, distribution, decorating
You may be called upon to include little ones in your wedding even if you have planned otherwise. Often parents will bring their children with them, and resent even the slightest suggestion that part of their family is not welcome. Therefore, minimize the situation and expect the parent to care for their children. At the same time, take a few precautions. Have one or more of your ushers remain available to assist as needed before, during, and following the ceremony.
