Managing the Children in the Wedding Party

Nothing may be more precious or more meaningful than having adorable flower girls and ring bearers in your wedding. Children, however, present some challenges of their own that you may want to keep in mind for your wedding day event.

• Try to stick with children between the ages of five and seven because they’re a bit easier to manage, keep quiet and keep still during the ceremony. They’re also less likely to be afraid of the guest crowd and break into tears
• The parents of the children in the wedding typically pay for the child’s attire
• The bride pays for and provides the flower girl basket and flowers and the ring pillow
• After the children walk down the aisle, have their parents take them to their seat (generally best to sit the parents of the kids near the front)
