Fun Marriage Ideas For Your Children
Whether it’s a first or second marriage, getting children involved with the wedding events and activities is a
great way to create a valuable and memorable experience for everyone involved! Letting children take part directly
or indirectly with the festivities means that they can participate in the ceremonies with a positive mindset. They
are more likely to appreciate your marriage, and have fun in the process.
During the ceremony, children can get involved with the marriage plans and activities in many ways. Children can
help with setting up flowers, decorations, and handing out wedding favors. They can be a part of the exchange of
vows, and serve as the flower girl or ring bearer. Children can walk with the bride or groom, and truly become a
part of the official ceremony as a result.
At the reception, children can be involved in having guests sign the guest book. They can also pass out wedding
favors, help with decorating the tables, greet guests, and help with seating. If they enjoy decorating, they can
help with adorning the walls and tables with their chosen decorative pieces. They can be stationed at the gifts
table and make sure everything is organized, and all guest gifts are acknowledged. It might even be a good idea to
have them take notes on who gave what gifts for later!
Children can be involved in the toast celebrations, as well as a candle lighting ceremony. If they are attending he
bridal or groom party, they can be given a formal welcome as a ‘special’ guest. Whenever younger children are
involved, it’s important to make sure they feel comfortable and have a good time. If they have friends they would
like to invite to the wedding party or reception, it is a great way to ensure that they will not get bored, or get
in trouble too easily!
Children can become a part of a special child vow, where they can honor their mother or father’s new partner. This
can be fun and memorable, and also as formal as the wedding coordinators would like them to be. The children can be
formally dressed for the event, and help to develop the script or short poem for the group. It’s a great way fro
them to become comfortable with the new arrangement and changes in a memorable way.
If there will be other children attending the wedding party, it’s a good idea to arrange for children’s activities
or a children’s-only table for seating, drinks, and party games. Having the children organize their own games with
special prizes is a great way for everyone to get involved. If the children are not a part of the wedding ceremony
or reception at all, delegating them tasks to help with setting up and cleaning up can be just as fun! You can
arrange for a caretaker or babysitter to lead the group of children throughout the event, and maybe even start up
an arts and crafts section, games area, or other low-key activity to keep everyone busy and happy.
