All My Children Alternative Wedding Ideas
May 2, 2009 by Francina · Leave a Comment
Second and even third marriages are nothing new and often people have children and even grandchildren from their previous marriages. Or maybe the couple had a child together before they decided to get married. Fact is many people would like to get alternative wedding ideas that include “all my children”.
Making children a part of the wedding can provide an unexpected and fun element that can contribute a lot towards making an otherwise stressful situation bearable. No matter how many times you practice the routine there is bound to be some surprises. As a matter of fact including children will almost guarantee this!
Following are a few alternative ideas on how to include “all my children” in your wedding:
1. Include them in the wedding preparation details like choosing colors and other details.
2. Ask for their advice on some of the many decisions that have to be made. This way they won’t feel left out.
3. If the children are older they can be part of the bridal party. How great will it be if you daughter can be a bridesmaid or your son a groomsman?
4. We recently saw the unity candle ceremony done by pouring two different colors sand into a tall glass container. This will be a good (and safe!) place to include the children.
5. Children can help handing out the programs as guests arrive at the church.
6. Teenage sons can be ushers in church.
7. Teenage daughters can help mom get dressed.
8. Bigger children can man the guest book station and make sure that every person signs it.
9. Have something really unique like a wedding cake made of cupcakes. They can all help in creating this unusual work of family art which will make them feel really special.
These are just a few “all my children” alternative wedding ideas and I’m sure
there are many more. It is after all your wedding and it is refreshing to
see things done a bit differently at times. This prevents a ceremony from
becoming boring.
