Your marriage celebration and reception can be fun and exciting. When you include kids in your wedding, some wonderful things can happen. They may be included in all kinds of activities, special service, as Junior attendants, flower girls, ring bearer, or as guests.
Chaos, confusion, noise, distraction, and disruption may all describe the typical scene when little ones attend an adult event and are left to their devices. An unsupervised child is just looking for trouble.
It is time for the wedding and kids have arrived. What arrangements have you made for the children?
Idea : Have appropriate adult supervision for little ones in rooms where they can be apart from the adult activities. Make it fun for everyone.
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 children emerge when left to their own devices.
Consider a spectacular children’s event like a magic show, carnival, or guest entertainer. You can turn babysitting into a real event. The kids will always remember it. Of course, kids will get along fine with normal play time activities, but you might just make a big impact with your own spectacular children’s event.
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”.
In the same way, couples with little ones can use marriage celebration vows that include children. It is very easy for the Minister or couple to compose a few added lines of promise and commitment to the special event ceremony in which the little ones can repeat their commitments to the family.
Children want to be involved. They will love dancing with adults, grandparents, and even each other. They will gladly sit for a while drawing or coloring while adults to their thing. In most cases, children will love being included.
What if you make the special event 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.
If children arrive at your special event unexpectedly, just relax. Remember family does include children. In most cases, if a guest brings their children, they expect to take responsibility for them. It might be a good idea to ask one of your ushers to be alert and offer assistance if needed, but look to the parent to care for their kids and just enjoy having your family and friends together.
