In this blog, we go over some of our favorite ways that you can incorporate kids in your wedding day.
If you have kids or close family or friends who are young and you’re going to be getting married soon, you may be wondering how you should include your kids in your big day. There are so many fun and creative ways that you can show kids they’re special on your wedding day, so take a look at the following options and see if any of them could be right for your wedding.
Incorporating Kids
Incorporating children into your wedding day can be memorable and a great way to include those who you’re close to. Below are some of our favorite options that we think you should consider for your big day.
Have Them Recite
If there’s a prayer or passage that’s meaningful to you, consider having the children recite it during the ceremony. This can be a great way to include kids in your ceremony, but make sure that they’re prepared and they feel supported. Even if your child doesn’t have something memorized, they may want to say something meaningful in front of your wedding guests.
Vows
It’s traditional to have the bride and groom say vows to each other, but why not also say vows to your kids? Having a separate time to share hopes for the future and make meaningful promises can be extremely special.
Have a First Dance
If the kids in your life love to dance, then include them on the dance floor! Having a first dance with kids can be super fun and it’s also a great option to make them feel included. This is also a great choice if they wouldn’t enjoy being the center of attention during your ceremony (like they would if they spoke).
Your Wedding Menu
When it comes to planning your wedding menu, don’t forget about the kids who are going to attend! Including kid-friendly options can be a great way to make sure that everyone has something to eat and nobody feels left out. Consider reaching out to potential caterers and asking them what kid-friendly options they have for you to consider.
Write Them a Letter
Have you considered writing your kid a letter that they can read on your wedding day? This is a chance to create a really special moment and share some meaningful thoughts with them. This letter will be something that they cherish and a memory that they can look back on when they think about your wedding day.
