How to include a large number of children in ceremony?!?!

I can see both sides, I understand you wanting them all in the wedding but also think its a lot of kids, but it is your wedding and if you want them all in it and its important to you then I think you should do it. You could maybe do something like:

7 mo. and 16 mo. in a wagon with 2yr and 3yr old nephews walking next to/behind it with 8 yr old girl pulling wagon.

4 yr old boy walking with some sort of sign (like here comes the bride, not my thing but since theres so many kids you may need to start making up jobs lol) or having him as RB along with 5 yr old boy (twin) as RB

5 yr old cousin (twin) as FG

6 yr old nephew with autism, I dont know how severe his autism is and here's where I get stumped...

11 yr old girl Jr. Bridesmaid or passing out programs if you have them or something along those lines (escorting..?)

15 yr old Jr. Bridesmaid

15 yr old girl with aspergers could just have an honorary seat up front if shes not good with crowds (she could still get a Jr. bridesmaid dress and walk down the aisle if shes comfortable with it)

17 yr. old as bridesmaid

ETA: Forgot to mention that some of them can do other things throughout the night like guest book attendant, card box attendant, etc.

1st: You're insane for trying to include THAT many children.

2nd: StylishBride, change your avatar already.

3rd: Go Riki! Go Riki! Go Riki!

You know how sometimes people will line the recessional and hold ribbons or sparklers or blow bubbles? You could have the kids that are old enough to hold something do that during the processional (probably ribbons. Kids + Sparklers = bad), and then they can go sit with their parents during the ceremony.The littler ones can do the traditional ring bearer/flower girl stuff, and the babies can be pulled in a wagon with a sign. The older ones can be bridesmaids or junior bridesmaids. As far as the two with autism and aspergers, if they aren't comfortable doing things like that, let them match and sit in seats of honor so they still feel important, but not like everyone is looking at them.

LOL @ Riki
