Anyone include their baby in the wedding?

I don't have a baby yet, but I will have my niece as our flower girl and she will be about 11 months old. We've got the same idea with the wagon! My FH's nephew will be pulling her down the aisle in a wagon that we have decorated a bit. I would definitely have someone on stand-by just incase she does get fussy during the ceremony.

I'm not much help, I'm afraid, since my "babies" were 25 and 27 when I included them.

I am doing the same! FH and I have two boys. The youngest will be 10 months at the wedding, the oldest is 3. We are having both of them being our little ring bearers. The older one will be pulling the baby in the wagon. Im actually more worried about the older child, as he can often suddenly not listen and not do as hes told. So my fear is that it will come time to walk down and he will get shy and not do it! I think she will be fine, if shes good natured anyway, then i wouldnt be worried, is she gets upset in public a lot you might want to rethink it. But def have someone on stand by, we will!!

I say go for it!

I think you should include your baby in your wedding. I am including mines as a flower girl, she will be 15 months.

My son will be about a year and a half by the time of our wedding, he is going to be our ring bearer. Hopefully it goes smoothly!

My 4 yr old is going to be our ring bearer :-) but our baby will only be about six months so we are going to let the grandmas hold him. Hope all goes well for you I believe it is a wonderful idea!

Yes our son will be 22 months old and he will be our ring bearer

We are having both our daughters in our wedding as flower girls. One will be about 2 yr and 3 months and the other will be about a year old when we get married.

I don't personally have any kids but in general I fe that kids in the wedding always make everyone smile and happy even if they get a little bit fussy. They bring a joy and sometimes a sense of humor to the day. I am having a 3year old and 6 year old as ring bearers and a 8 year old and 10 year old a junior bridesmaids. I told their parents not to push them on the wedding day so if they get scared or cranky they don't have to do it even if that decision is made 30 seconds before they walk down the aisle.

My 2 year old daughter will be my flower girl.

Include her. Practice the wagon pulling so it will be fun for her. And so she knows what to expect. I would think staring about two or three weeks before. Agree have someone on standby I case things go wrong.

I've seen 1-year olds included in weddings before. Sometimes they do great, sometimes they freak out. I think little ones are charming, you just have to be really prepared for anything.

We had FGs who were 18 months and 3 1/2. They have amazing manners and they were angels at the actual ceremony, but apparently they were pretty cranky that day b/c their routine was off and one of them was sick. Their day just wasn't well planned, and our ceremony started 15 or 20 minutes late b/c they weren't there yet.

I guess just make sure you have a Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C to get her ready and to the church since you'll likely be occupied by getting yourself ready. And also - if she does get upset, is she going to get more upset if she can't cling to you? Some babies don't want anyone else if they see mama in the room, but others are really chill. I think you know your baby best!

You should include your baby in the wedding, even with the what if's. My son will be two and he is going to be the ring bearer, and of course I hope it goes smoothly.

Ooh this is a good post. We have a baby on the way and he/she will be about 11 months during the wedding and I really want him/her in the wedding!

I like the wagon idea. But might be a bit of a hassle since it's a small ceremony. I was thinking maybe someone could carry him/her in. I've seen that too.

Our baby will be 11 months and he will be our ring bearer. He's already walking, so I think he should be able to walk down the aisle holding our FG's hand. I'm just worried he'll freak out when everyone is looking. But he's our kid. If he melts down, that's okay! (:

The Wagon thing is like the CUTEST IDEA EVER! but if your afraid of that maybe you can have someone walk her

Will he happily go to g'parents in the front row? Just have someone handy who will take him out of the room if he starts crying.

I am in the process of becoming a foster parent. FH will start the process when he if finished with his current trials. If we have foster children at that time, they will be included in the wedding party.

My baby will be 11 months for our wedding. And my niece will be pulling him in the wagon in case he won't be walking (I'm pretty sure he will be though). He is a very mellow baby so I have no worries.
