The Joy of Including Children on Your Wedding Day

2662 EJS 0249

Although the format and layout of weddings have varied over the years, it is undeniable that certain key elements remain important when deciding to include children in the wedding day. There are many creative ways to include children in the ceremony and reception, including the traditions of having a flower girl and ring bearer which undoubtedly add a charming touch to the ceremony.

Weddings offer a unique opportunity for people of all ages to come together and create special memories. The events offer the opportunity to gather a large number of people in one room, many of whom may not get to see each other as much as they’d like. It provides the landscape of older generations and younger generations to share special moments with each other whether it be catching up in conversation, making memories or sharing a dance.

For couples getting married who have children, it’s common to include them in special moments throughout the day. If the child is old enough, they may want to give a speech, walk their mother down the aisle or stand next to them during the ceremony. These moments are often captured in photographs that will be cherished for a lifetime. 

Once children are on the guest list, there is an opportunity to include extended family members too. Including extended family provides children with the opportunity to have other young family members to spend time with. We have seen special designated spaces at weddings providing children an area to themselves for arts and crafts, games, and special activities. Also, from our experience, children of all ages love to bust a move on the dance floor and show off their skills.   

Lastly, inviting children to a wedding can be a thoughtful gesture that helps parents feel more included and comfortable. It can also make things easier for parents who would otherwise have to find a babysitter for the event.

Photographs are an excellent way to capture those precious moments that occur throughout the day and create timeless images that can be passed down to future generations. These images serve as a beautiful reminder of the cherished memories and experiences that we have shared with our loved ones, and they allow us to relive those moments whenever we wish. By preserving these images, we can ensure that our children and grandchildren will be able to enjoy and appreciate these memories for years to come. So, let’s keep capturing those special moments through photographs and creating a legacy that will last for generations.
