How to incorporate 1 year old

Michelle, on March 18, 2017 at 7:04 PM Posted in Planning 0 14

My daughter will have just turned 1 on my wedding day so opted out of her for flower girl and went with my 2 older nieces. My son and future stepson will will be my ring bearer so I would love to incorporate her some how. I thought about the wagon idea but my wedding is inside at a hotel and don't think it would really look right. Any ideas?

    She is one. She won"t remember it anyway. Don't use her as a prop.

    Just incorporate her in the pictures. Otherwise she is really too young and the day will already be so long for her.

    My son will be 15 months at the time of our wedding and he's a groomsmen. He has a tux. And my FH will probably be holding him. I'm excited about it.

    We're having a daytime wedding so she wont be overly tired at that point but I know it will come.she could be noisy even if she isn't actually in the wedding though. I am planning to have a sitter for the reception because there will be a good amount of children there but I didn't even think about using her for my LO during the ceremony that's actually a really good idea. Thanks everyone, I think I'll ask my mom if she will walk her down the aisle.

    Stpaulgal and elphaba she isn't using her daughter as a prop, she wants her daughter to be part of her wedding. That was ill-put.

    Having someone carry her down is a great idea!

    I generally love the people on this forum, but some of you will really find anything to criticize. Since when is it wrong for a mother to include her child in her wedding? Come on now. If you don't agree with it, just move on.

    ETA- Just wanted to add that a one year old isn't really considered an infant, either.

    My best friend had her MOH/sister carry her one year old down the isle and when the one year saw her mom walking down the isle she was just so excited. Probably my favorite part of the ceremony. Their ceremony was short and sweet so she was just happy to be by mom and dad Smiley smile

    I never said I would have her stand/be held with the bridal party. (Even though to each their own). The older children will even take a seat on the first row. Maybe it was mentioned in reference to what people have seen. And again I don't see how incorporating her effects her crying or not crying, perhaps I'm not comprehending correctly. Some of you guys logic is basically saying your whole bridal party and anyone outside of the officiant is a prop. They are all being "incorporated" (maybe that was my fault for using that word) based on them being important to you which obviously children are to their mother.

    But the OP never said that she was having her daughter stand with the bridal party, so it really just seems like a giant reach and an excuse to argue.

    I'd give your mom her own moment and have your daughter "seated" right after your mom. You could have a family member carry her and list her in the program as "Baby's Name, daughter of the couple, escorted by Joe Smith, uncle of the bride" or something like that.

    I wouldn't do a wagon though. It just make me far too nervous that something might go wrong

    The wagon would be ok if you decorate it up, but she is really too young and it would be better for you to include her in pictures.
