It is your day! And to make sure it goes smoothly it is important to plan appropriately for the child attendants in your wedding. Kids can be unpredictable and though they may not do everything exactly as you want, they are certain to add a bit of class, cuteness and even entertainment to the mix.

Top Tips to Keep the Kids Happy: Recruit some help to make sure you kids are looked after. You will be running around taking care of last minute preparations so make sure you have at least one person that is devoted to this. If possible it should be someone who isn't involved in the wedding in any other way so their focus is not split. You can hire a babysitter or recruit a family member who isn't directly involved in the ceremony.

Make sure all the children have a change of clothes that they can play in up until the last minute before changing into their formal wear. Then let the kids burn off a little steam playing without fear of them messing up their fancy clothes.

When they are ready to go down the isle, you might appoint a groomsmen and bridesmaid to be buddies for the kids so they have someone to bond with while they are up at the altar.

And lastly, make sure they know exactly where their parents are (whether in the ceremony or the audience) so that they can make eye contact with them for support and reassurance that they are doing a great job.
