I am just using a regular stick pen for my 2 1/2 year old son. It will just be on his jacket, and we will take it off him after the ceremony, so I'm not too worried about it.
You can have the florist(or whomever is making the children's flowers) secure a safety pin to the back of the corsage etc instead of using a stick pin.
@julies1949 so you've made/used them with safety pins before?
Or... you could use a really strong magnet and attach the boutonnieres on that way.
I used a pin you would use for crafts that is flat on the back and has the pin and clasp on the other.... i attached it to my boutineers by wrapping floral tape around it
You could try it either with a safety pin instead of a straight pin or you could use a straight pin but stick a little something on the end of it (I know this sounds weird but would probably work - duct tape? just enough to cover the pointy part of the pin once it's through the piece of clothing).

Ours used magnets instead of pins so there would be no holes. But then again, magnets are dangerous if swallowed.
Oh god. Bluespurrs, that reminds me of an article I read the other day about an eight-year old who had swallowed THIRTY of the magnets from those letters you put on your fridge, which resulted in serious health issues. Yeesh. But kids could swallow anything, and if they're really going to go through the effort of removing whatever's holding on their bout just to swallow it, and no one's going to catch them in the act, it seems like magnets might be a better thing to swallow than pins?
Please don't use magnets! Despite being a choking hazard, they are very dangerous if they are swallowed. A large safety pin should work fine. Obviously someone will be watching the kids, if they are super concerned about them, I would just wait until right before the ceremony to pin them on and remove them immediately after.
If you are conerned about the sharp point of the safety pin, you can cover it with a piece of pencil eraser after you have fastened the safety pin.

I know this sounds weird but I just had a random thought. For those of you who had kids in the wedding how did you pin corsages and bouts on them? Just with the regular stick pins? Is there a way to use safety pins instead so there's no edges for them to get stuck with? Anyone have any ideas? (I'm a DIY flower person so need all the info I can get)
