Some of the world’s most fearsome wedding guests are less than three feet tall. Though children can bring irrefutable charm to a ceremony—and make for extra-cute dancers at the reception—there’s a range of possible pitfalls that come from opening the guest list to tots.

“If you have a Jollyhers mini girl dresses free shipping kid-friendly , you have to consider how to make them comfortable and happy,” says Colin Cowie of Colin Cowie Lifestyle. Cowie loves a cute flower girl as much as anyone, but his intentions are geared toward the couple. “If the kids are well catered to, they won’t be a nuisance,” he reasons.

Catering to the kiddos starts with keeping them occupied during the ceremony. Mimi van Wyck of Van Wyck & Van Wyck suggests offering bubbles or quiet outdoor games—a babysitter-supervised round of ring toss will do—as the couple takes their vows.

On the other hand, planners agree that kids who are in the ceremony don’t need to be as carefully placated. “Children in ceremonies are one of my favorite things,” says Tara Guérard of Tara Guérard Soirée. “I think they’re adorable even if they can’t quite make it all the way down the aisle. It makes the whole process fun and lighthearted, and it takes pressure off the bride.”

Plus, kids still mastering the art of walking can ask for a hand from their fellow small guests. “If there are six or seven kids, ages 2 to 7, we send them all down the aisle together,” says Sara Fried of Fête Nashville. “The 5-year-old is holding the hand of the 2-year-old. It’s not a formal, single-file thing, but it’s the cutest thing ever.”

Less adorable: having kids around when the Champagne corks start popping. “I’m a mother of three, but when I go to a wedding I want to have adult conversation and have cocktails and dance. I don’t want my children to be a part of that scene,” Guérard says.

To give kids an age-appropriate scene of their own, many couples set up a separate space for guests under 16. That could mean an area off to the side of the reception, another tent on the lawn, or a contained room filled with kid-friendly tropes and more appropriate decor.

“I wouldn’t put the $450 centerpieces and the expensive crystal on the kids’ tables,” Cowie notes. And why should the little ones sit at the same tables as their parents when their dining style is markedly different? “You want kids to feel included at dinner, but they’re not going to sit down for a four-course meal,” Cowie advises.
