How to Include Children in Your Wedding Ceremony

Age-appropriate ways to include children in a wedding ceremony, including blended-family moments.

  • Walking a parent down the aisle
  • Carrying rings, flowers or a sign
  • A short reading for older children
  • A family vow — a promise spoken to the children directly
  • A family unity element such as sand or a candle
  • Standing with you as part of the wedding party

Keep jobs short and give young children an adult to return to afterwards. Tell us their ages on the intake form and we'll build the ceremony around what they can realistically handle.

So… which one is your wedding?

A $150 paperwork wedding, or a ceremony built for the two of you.
