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.
