In this two-part segment, we'll explore a few ways to take the sticky out of those wedding-day kids.
Kids and Wedding Pictures
If the kids in your life are anything like the ones I know- they are likely to be super adorable and super photogenic. Ensure your photographer captures them. Better yet, have them help capture memories for you.
Many brides in the past used disposable cameras to have guests help capture their wedding day, but with everyone having access to a smart phone, why not set up a special wedding-day email and ask guests to send their mobile pics in? You can then easily use sites like Walgreens to order prints by simply forwarding on those emails to their photo-site email address (for Walgreens it's save@mywalgreens.com).
Kids and Props
The right prop in the hands of a child can do wonders. A typical favorite prop is small vials of bubbles for children to blow towards the bride and groom as they leave the wedding. Here are a few other fun ideas:
- One couple had success finding a vintage tricycle and painting it to match the wedding colors. They were able to involve a nephew in the event as he rode around the wedding party.
- A child can help keep track of favorite family pets at a wedding- just hand them a leash and a stash of doggy treats.
- Put thank-you gifts in a decked-out wagon and have the little-ones hand out the gifts to guests at the wedding.
Props should align with the theme of your wedding and should help you (and your guests) enjoy your special day.
Join us for Kids and the Wedding {Part 2}! I'll discuss fun ways to include children in your wedding party from showers through ceremonies.
Till next time,
Good luck, warm wishes, and sweet memories always,
