Children at Weddings?

The question of whether to have children at your wedding is often debated. Many couples are either strongly for, or against having children at their wedding.


If you really don’t want to have children there, don’t be persuaded by family and friends. Listen to their opinions, but try not to let them influence your ideas. The final decision should be with the Bride and Groom.

Many guests will be pleased to have a good excuse for a night away from the children. If you are divided as a couple, try and compromise and limit the children to a certain number or close family and friends only.

Either way, make sure it is very clear on the invitations whether children are invited or not.

If you do want to have children there, try to consider how they will be entertained during the day. Perhaps consider having party bags for the children, with maybe a colouring book, a toy or a disposable camera (children will often get a very different perspective of the day).

If you have a lot of children coming you may want to consider having a separate area, with an entertainer, a TV with computer games or a DVD playing. You may also want to consider hiring a nanny to look after them.

It may also be a good idea to decide on whether to have children or not, before you decide on your venue; that way when you are viewing places you know whether they are child friendly or not, and if you want a separate area for the children you can enquire about this possibility at the time.

If you have children at you wedding, make sure the speeches don’t go on too long and make sure that they are entertained.
