@millielue: I think that's a super sweet idea, but like you've posted, that could be a bit confusing logistics-wise once they reach the alter.
Instead, how about having the kiddos be your 'send off' crew? You could provide them little flower petals to toss, bubbles to blow, streamers to shake, etc (whatever your venue allows) and have them either line the aisles when you two walk back down, or have their parents get them all lined up outside the church doors while you get into your car. Just have a cute little sign by your basket that's holding the goodies, and then a note in the program or an announcement from the officient to signal that it's time for the wee ones to help you guys out :-)
It sounds cute, but might be really hard to know how the kids would react. If you have ever been to one of those church services where they ask all the kids to come up to the front (and they end up standing around, milling about, etc) you'll know what I mean. Is there going to be an age limit? Little kids can be unpredictable and as cute as this sounds, the logistics seem little hard to figure out.
Thank you, NDBee! I think we'll just put out streamers and ribbons for them to wave as we walk back down the aisle, that sounds like a great idea!
There are very young kids coming from 1 years to 7 years, so that's true who knows what they would end up doing!
Thank you!!
@millielue: :-) Maybe just to be safe (and keep distractions away during the ceremony) you can have the basket put out at the end of the ceremony by the ushers so the kiddos aren't playing with them all ceremony long. But I'm glad you liked the idea, I hope you can make it work out for you!
Another great idea! I didn't think of that either. Thank you! I'm sure we'll figure out a way to make it work :)
I am getting kids involved by using an old tradition we have in Wales, where after the wedding service, the children come and give me gifts of iron horseshoes and wooden spoons which are considered to be good luck to the bride and groom.

Hello all! This is my first time posting so I hope I'm on the right board. Anyways, my three daughters are going to be the main flower girls in my wedding; however, I remember how much my sister and I always wanted to be flower girls when we were little and didn't get the chance so I was thinking of putting a basket full of mini bouquets out front before the ceremony so any little girl (or boy) who wants to feel a part of the wedding can do so. What do you think of this idea? Do you think the kids will feel too much like part of the wedding and then will want to stand up at the altar with the rest of the bridal party for the whole ceremony? Will people just know that their kids should sit back down with them afterwards? If not, is there a polite way to put that on the sign that says they need to sit down afterwards? Or should I just forget the whole idea? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just very confused! Thank you!
