Why leave little ones 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 children 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.
Ok, let us presume you are going to include kids at least as guests to your wedding. What do you do with them?
Idea : Put the little ones in a separate room or rooms with appropriate child care supervision. This can provide the adults an invaluable service and offers you the opportunity to make the marriage celebration into a fun activity time for the kids as well.
Provide child appropriate activities. kids love to color, draw, play with play doe, watch cartoons, and many other easy to do activities. Avoid moments where kids lack direction.
What about holding a kids carnival? Bring in some kids entertainment and make it a big deal for the kids. Yes, kids will enjoy typical art table type activities with pipe cleaners, games, and toys, but you can help create a fantastic memory for them by creating their own special event. You might even include a personal appearance by the Bride and Groom at some point in the activities.
A blended family may find it especially meaningful to include the little ones 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".
The kids of blended families need to be included if at all possible in the wedding vows that include children. The special event is launching a marriage, but it is also launching a family. Therefore it is appropriate to include the kids in the wedding vows.
Your special event 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.
What if you make the marriage celebration activities designed for the little ones to really feel part of the action? Many little ones would love to walk the isle, hand out program, drop flowers, decorate, and make their own contribution.
You may be caught completely off guard. You may not be expecting little ones at your wedding. Then to your surprise, here comes a guest with two little kids in tow. What do you do? First, do not panic. Do not get upset. Relax. Parents should not bring kids unless they expect to care for the children themselves, however, it is a good idea to quietly ask one of your ushers to remain attentive to offer assistance as needed. - 31376
