You can make your marriage celebration and wedding reception a truly family affair by including children in the activities. You may even include kids as part of your special event party, special helpers, or as guests.
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 kids are coming! The little ones are coming! Now what?
Option : 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 kids and care for them while their parents are participating in the wedding. Still, some parents will insist on keeping their babies with them.
Guide kids into doing age appropriate things that are fun and engaging. Busy little ones are content children. Remember, trouble comes when kids do not know what to do with themselves.
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.
The kids of a blended family, may respond "I do" to appropriately asked question honoring the parents and pledging love.
In the same way, couples with children 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 wedding ceremony in which the children can repeat their commitments to the family.
The marriage celebration reception is a great place to involve children. Yes, some precautions may need to be made to protect them from inappropriate adult behaviors, but the reception should be a fun time. You may provide added supports for smaller kids like special coloring books and crayons on the table. You can also include kids in the activities even the dancing. Think about a "child only" dance. Let the little ones take center stage. Everyone will love it. Make it a family event.
What if you make the special event activities designed for the kids 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 called upon to include children in your marriage celebration 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.
