How do I invite my two young cousins but not any other children to my wedding?
I want to invite my two young cousins but not any other children to my wedding. How can I go about this without offending anyone?
The easiest way to resolve this is to invite your cousins to be a part of the official bridal party. By giving them the role of flower girl or junior attendant you’ll make each of them feel extra special, as well as keep them busy! It is not necessary that you do this, as the rule…

Separate Favours For Kids?
Kids might be okay with the sweet, but might not be thrilled once they bite down to the bitter — almonds aren’t for everyone! You’re probably better off doing something different for the kids. If you want all of your favours to look similar, why not give the kids jelly beans or foil-wrapped chocolates that…

Who Pays For Their Attire?
Just as for the adult members of your wedding party, agreeing to be in the wedding generally also means agreeing to buy an outfit. Usually, child attendants’ parents pay for their clothes, but you might choose to purchase a flower girl’s dress or ring bearer’s suit as a gift. Decide how you’re going to handle…

Where To Seat Child Attendants?
Kids (even the flower girl and ring bearer) generally sit with their parents rather than at the head table. If just one of the child’s parents is in the wedding party, then that whole family can be seated at the head table (if the plan can accommodate the extras). In many cases, however, the to-be-weds…

Do They Attend The Rehearsal Dinner?
This is a tough question for several reasons. The first is that there’s no strict etiquette — whether child attendants are invited to the rehearsal dinner is usually up to you (you, meaning the couple and the party’s hosts, often the groom’s parents). In this case, it’s a bit more complicated. It does seem practical to…

Can I Have A Bunch Of Flower Girls?
Here’s what you do. Tell your friends that in Victorian England, having child attendants was all the rage! Yours is not a bizarre idea. The only problem may be with your four sisters: While they’ll no doubt be touched that you want to include their children in your wedding, they may not get why you’re…

How Young Is Too Young?
There is really no age limit because maturity levels can vary greatly from child to child. Some people tend not to incorporate children quite so young in their ceremonies because their actions can be, well, unpredictable. But others find it adds a charming touch when their precious flower girl decides to chomp on a few…

Can They Be The Only Kids There?
You have to be careful with your execution on this one, but it can be done. While if you were choosing to allow say, your sister or a few family friends to bring their children and barring all others, that would be a serious gaffe, in this case having only select kids is okay. Why?…

Telling Guests There’ll Be A Babysitter?
It wouldn’t be at all tacky — in fact, it’s really gracious. If you’re planning on including this info in your invite, handwrite a personal note (don’t put in printed cards) to those with children. Say something like: “Marcie, we’re having a babysitter at the reception, so I’d love for you to bring Brian along!…
