Weddings are something very special for children. It starts from the moment they are invited to the wedding. For the little ones, this is something extraordinary because they may have always dreamed of attending a real wedding. The shining eyes when the little girls see the bride in her beautiful wedding dress or are simply allowed to dress up is something special for children. That's why it's a wonderful idea to have children at the wedding .
However, there are a few things that should be taken into account to avoid boredom or having to watch sad children. We would like to show you a few ideas and possibilities to ensure that you have a carefree wedding and at the same time an unforgettable one for the children.
Children's activities at the wedding - without stress
Now the time has come, the invitations have been sent out. The guests, including children, have been invited and are really looking forward to the wedding. This is where the planning and organization begins. To avoid the little ones getting bored or feeling uncomfortable at your party, it is a good idea to think about how the wedding can be stress-free.
It is definitely helpful to ask yourself whether the children already know each other , what age group they are in and approximately how many children will be coming.
Here are a few good ways to keep the kids busy on your wedding day:
fun games to entertain the kids
a table where the children can paint and do crafts
A play corner with various games and toys
For a larger group, a magician or a clown is also suitable
-
a cozy corner for toddlers and babies
All in all, it is very helpful if the bride and groom give some thought to what to do with the children in advance in order to avoid stress on the wedding day and to be able to enjoy the celebration in peace.
What tasks do children have to do at the wedding?
Many people wonder if and how children can be included in the wedding or wedding ceremony. We think that it is something extraordinary to involve children in different tasks because they have their own charm and carry out certain tasks in their own special way.
For example, the children can be involved as flower girls . The little ones can romantically decorate a few flower petals for the bride and groom on the path to the altar, at a civil ceremony or in the registry office. This creates beautiful pictures and unforgettable moments for the children.
Another idea would be to involve the children in certain ceremonies. For example, they can shoot confetti, blow soap bubbles or hold sparklers during the procession .
Children as ring bearers at the wedding
The little ones can also be included in the ceremony as ring bearers . Carrying the rings is a task that requires trust and, to be on the safe side, should be done with children who you trust and who feel comfortable with it. Alternatively, to make it a little more fun, you can let the children run ahead with signs that say things like "Here comes the bride, my mommy", "Last chance to run" or "Don't worry, ladies, I'm still single".
Professional childcare for wedding children
Professional childcare at a wedding is of course a question of cost and is not a must for every wedding. However, it can be a helpful way to avoid the typical whining and screaming at such a celebration.
Especially when it comes to a very large wedding celebration with lots of children , you can be really grateful for round-the-clock care and enjoy your wedding stress-free. What's more, the children won't get bored and can enjoy the care time to the fullest.
Which gifts are suitable for children?
If you think back to your time, you may have noticed that it didn't take much to have a good time or a great day as a child. Children are often happy with the simplest things and love colorful and exciting things .
Here are a few ideas and ways to make children happy with small gifts:
