Should You Include Children in your wedding?

There are good and bad reasons for including children in your wedding.  Below we have listed them for you.  These are merely a guideline to help you decide which choice is best for you. They aren't intended as rules, and shouldn't be seen as rules. Having said that, here are the reasons:

Reasons to have children in your wedding

*You don't mind it when "kids are kids".
 
*You don't expect your wedding to be perfect.
 
*You know and are on friendly terms with the child.
 
*The child is a family member that you know and like.
 
*You're willing to insure the child feels comfortable in his/her role.

Reasons NOT to have children in your wedding

 

*You believe that weddings are a solemn event.
 
*You believe that weddings are adult only events.
 
*Cranky and/or rambunctious children annoy you.
 
*You want your wedding to go as perfectly as possible.
 
*You only want children in your wedding because they are cute.

Please remember that while having children in your wedding is wonderful, a child-free wedding is an equally valid choice. If you have decided that you want children in your wedding, read on for roles that children can take in your wedding.
