Deciding Whether To Have Children At Your Wedding ?

Helen & Noel

Updated: Jul 25, 2024

This is one question that all couples will face when planning their wedding, a question to which there is no right or wrong answer, it is a personal choice to be made by you and your partner together. As wedding photographers we have seen it all over the years, weddings with no children, those with lots of children and everything in between. And, when we says lots of children, we mean lots......one wedding the bride and groom had over 30 grandchildren between them.



A wedding ceremony can be a long, boring affair to a child, so you may wish to consider having no children attend the ceremony, but allow them to come along later when things are far more relaxed. Many churches have a childrens area these days which is perfect for keeping little ones entertained.



Make sure to include children when it comes time for confetti, they love being able to play with it over and over again so you may even want to have some extra confetti for them to play with after the main confetti pictures are over.



If children are to be at the wedding breakfast, then make sure to supply a menu suitable to them and their tastes and not just the adult menu which may well be food they are not familiar with which could cause meltdowns.



Entertainment is a must if you are having little ones around on your wedding day to keep them occupied and happy. Whether that be face painting, a professional entertainer or personalised activity books like these available from Paper Ballards to name but a few.



If you are having a summer wedding, then lawn games are a great way to fill time for young and old alike.



An ice cream van like those supplied by J B Ices is a great way to keep children happy, no matter what their age is.



A venue with animals on site is another great choice if you are considering having children at your wedding.



Once the dancing starts, make sure to have a few childrens favourites included as well. If you are inviting them to your wedding day, then it is a lovely idea to make sure there is something for everyone and not just your own tastes.
