Are you planning a wedding and looking for a way to get your kids involved?  If so, you have come to the right place.  Kids sometimes hesitate when it comes to weddings.  Many feel shy and even awkward being part of the party.  But with a little encouragement, they too can share one of the happiest days of your life.  Below are some tips that will get you started.  So if you’re in the middle of the wedding planning process, you just might want to take a few notes.

Let Them Help with The Planning

During the planning process, why not get the kids involved?  There are many ways that children can help.  For instance, while looking for wedding venues in Kent, why not let them pick out a location for you?  Most kids have a wonderful imagination and they will see the potential in a venue that you may have overlooked.  Additionally, kids love to help with menu planning and entertainment.  Involving them in these areas will make them very excited about the big day. Here you will find some tips to help you get your kids involved in your wedding day. These tips will give you some really wonderful ideas to get started.  

Ask Your Children to Walk You Down the Aisle

One of the biggest moments in any wedding is when the bride walks down the aisle.  So why not include your kids in this emotional moment?  By letting your kids walk you down the aisle, it will make them a big part of your special day. They will always remember this moment and think back on the day with fondness.  If your child is on the shy side, however, you may want to think of another way to make them a part of the wedding day.  

Let Them Help with The Décor

Children simply love making things with their own two hands.  There are many arts and crafts project that would be a perfect addition to your wedding décor.  Handmade place cards, wedding favours, and goodie bags are all great projects for your children to get involved in.  For older kids, you can even get them to design place settings for each reception table. Adult children can even help with the catering and other larger projects which will help reduce the overall cost of the wedding. This will not only help your children feel like they are part of the festivities but you will save some money as well.  For more DIY wedding décor ideas, have a look at this link.  
These are just a few of the ways that you can involve your children in your wedding.  Remember that some kids will be hesitant at first, but with the right encouragement, most will be happy to help.  Your wedding day will be one of the most special days of your life, so make sure that you find some ways to make your children part of that amazing day.

Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way.

In  God, I Feel Scared , children will discover that it’s okay to be scared and that God is with us in all things, including fear.

The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way.
