How to include our kids

We are a blended family with 6 kids. When we get married next June they'll be 1 (ours together) 6, 7, 10, 10 and 12. We're not doing a bridal party but want our kids up there with us. We asked our 10 year olds to be our MOH and BM since he's FH oldest son and she's my only daughter. But how do we include the others? I was thinking about the 12 year old walking down our son, then her standing next to me? And having my 6 and 7 year olds holding signs then standing next to FH??? Should all the boys just stand next to FH? What should we do with baby?? Please help!

    I would simply have them up there with you guys (except the baby, more on him/her later) and have them stand where everyone is comfortable. You can do all his on his side, all yours on your side, or a combo of both.

    Please ask someone to be holding the baby in the front row, or perhaps (and I am not anti-baby, lol) in the back row as is he/she starts to fuss or cry it will be VERY distracting to the ceremony. Babies have a way of knowing when it is not cool to cry or get babbly. If the little one is going to be one year old, she or he may decide this is the time to starting walking!!!

    Please do not get hung up on titles, simply call them your attendants.

    Have them walk down the aisle right before you walk down. That way they are included and won’t feel left out of the celebration of your union.

    Hey there Ashley!

    Welcome to the WeddingWire community Smiley smile

    I love the previous posters ideas. I think it would be super sweet to have them walk down the aisle right before you walk and have them up the top standing each side of you both. You could have the MOH and one of the boys your side, and the BM and third son the other side.

    For the baby, I would definitely have a family member who can hold him and sit in the front near you all. That way he is near for photos, but the family member can entertain him and keep him quiet during the ceremony.
