If to invite kids to your wedding is a hot issue for lots of brides. The’re two different issues that are reared by inviting these younger members of the family and how important these are depends on what your wedding objectives are.
The initial issue is that surrounding cost. Cutting the kids from the invitee list cuts the cost, but what else would you lose? The least you’d have is upset parents who don’t understand why you are excluding their offspring! At the other extreme you more than likely to have even more budget to practice with because at least a few of the parents will not attend your wedding. When you look back on your wedding 10 years from now, will you be thankful you protected the cash, or regret the fact that reducing on the cost of having the children cost you the memory of your relative or friend sharing your wedding day?
Other than cost, the other issue with kids is that they’re never responsive to a sense of occasion. Although the’re some kids who will sit in awe as the princess, you, walks down the aisle and marries Prince Charming, your fiancé in front of them. And then the’re others who will observe you down the aisle and distract everyone by swinging on the altar rail talking about who they can see! If you are part of the on-looking group, the kids are cute. If you are the bride, and they are taking attention faraway from you, then this could be annoying. But how annoying? You’re supposed to be focused on getting married to your Prince Charming remember!
The’re some things that you can get done to keep the kids happy at your wedding. For instance, be prepared with some little packs of crayons and small colouring books – such as those you have access to at a eating house to keep kids happy. Consider getting someone to act as the clown at your sit-down meal so that the children don’t get bored. Have a couple of your single friends (2nd and 3rd maids of honor are perfect) ready to sweep the kids up into a game if they start to get too excited. Give them something to do, such as take wedding date cake or favours around your invitees. Have them entertain the other people with party pieces between the speeches.
Kids at marriage ceremonies can result in problems, but marriage ceremonies are family events and kids are part of family life. Don’t exclude them unless you are aware of for a fact that their attendance is going to spoil your day. You’re not really going to save that much, and in the long term you are much more likely to regret that you cut them and that they’re missing from your wedding photos.
