Others just come from a family with a lottttttt of kids. Whatever your situation is, including little ones (and maybe some big ones) at your wedding is a wonderful way to celebrate your special family bonds. Sure, they can be the always-popular flower girl or ring bearer, but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Birkat Elyon<\/a> (purveyor of quality cubic zirconia engagement and wedding rings) has some other creative ways to include kids in your wedding.<\/p>\n<h3>MAKE THEM JUNIOR PHOTOGRAPHERS<\/h3>\n<p>Older kids who know their way around a digital camera would be a natural adjunct to the professional photographer you\u2019ve booked. But giving disposable cameras to little ones will add a cute, different perspective on the day<\/p>\n<h3>INVITE THEM TO THE CAKE-TASTING<\/h3>\n<p>Show your kids that their opinion about wedding details matters. Besides the fact that most kids <em>love <\/em>cake, they\u2019ll also love the fact that they helped pick out the flavor. By the way, if they pick one you\u2019re not on board with, ask the baker to do a \u201chalf and half\u201d version. \u00a0Or maybe a special cake all their own!<\/p>\n<h3>LET THEM HELP WITH SIMPLE CRAFTS<\/h3>\n<p>Stamping envelopes, putting together \u201cwelcome\u201d baskets, even writing out place cards&#8230;inviting kids to help out with easy arts-and-craft tasks will make them feel extra-important.<\/p>\n<h3>INCLUDE THEM IN YOUR VOWS<\/h3>\n<p>For couples who already have children, recognizing them within the wedding vows lets them know that they\u2019ll be part of a new family. You might even have a calligraphed version made to hang in your (new) home.<\/p>\n<h3>PULL THEM IN A WAGON<\/h3>\n<p>This is an adorable trend for babies and toddlers who are too young to walk. A bridesmaid or groomsmen brings them down the aisle in a specially-decorated wagon.<\/p>\n<h3>LET THEM \u201cWALK THE DOG\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Many couples want to include a beloved pet in their ceremony. This could be a perfect role for a child to handle, assuming they\u2019re already extremely comfortable with handling them. Note that animals can get excited during an occasion like this, so it would be a good idea to have an adult on \u201cstandby\u201d just in case the pet gets rowdy.<\/p>\n<h3>HAVE THEM WALK YOU DOWN THE AISLE<\/h3>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t <em>always<\/em> have to be a parent: having one of your children walk you down the aisle (especially if they&#8217;re older) can be extra meaningful.<\/p>\n<h3>GIVE THEM A SPECIAL GIFT<\/h3>\n<p>Brides and grooms often exchange a personal gift on the day of the wedding (and Birkat Elyon has some dazzling ideas). You can extend this tradition to the children in your world. They\u2019ll never forget it.<\/p>\n<h3>HAVE THEM PERFORM<\/h3>\n<p>If a child is especially talented or confident, having them sing a \u201cspecial\u201d song or recite a poem will wow your guests. Being in the spotlight will make them feel extra special. You could also do a parent-child dance to a song that they pick.<\/p>\n<p>The youngest members of a family can add considerably to your wedding day \u2013 even if it\u2019s just upping the \u201ccute factor.\u201d With its selection of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exceptional cubic zirconia pieces<\/a> (for a partner or a member of the wedding party), Birkat Elyon is pleased to become a part of your celebration!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More couples today are \u201cblending\u201d their families.
