Weddings are always meticulously planned events that are designed to be very memorable for the couple. Putting together a wedding takes a lot of arduous planning for everything to go smoothly. Of course nobody wants anything unexpected to happen and bringing children to a wedding is just asking for it. Not that there’s anything wrong with bringing kids to a wedding, there isn’t, they’re just sort of a wild card when it comes to trying to contain any shenanigans that they can cause.
There are two ways couples can get around this: one is to invite adult guests only, and the other one is to plan activities for the children so as they not obstruct or get any ideas to interfere with the wedding.
Surprisingly there’s a lot a child can do at a wedding besides carry the rings, etc.
Those little tikes can serve as ushers during the wedding. This may not sit well for the younger group because it takes a little bit more patience than usual.
The couple can hire a babysitter for the whole wedding, provided that there are a limited number of children attending. One babysitter could only do so much. Looks like Pippa did her babysitting duties well at the Royal Wedding. She’s the bride’s sister, so it was part of her wedding duties to assist the kids. The same goes for your babysitter. Pick one that knows how to handle kids as well as their parents. It would also be great if you’re comfortable with her.
If the children have any participation in the wedding and are not merely guests, try to get them comfortable with the whole ceremony before putting them into the fray. Practice walking down the aisle to familiarize them with the surroundings. It should also be important that they be introduced to the necessary social graces so they don’t make a ruckus during the big day.
