After everything you’ve put in to planning your big day, you really don’t want that dream shattered by the shrill cry of a restless child – particularly during the all-important vows and speeches. Every bride and groom has nightmares of crying babies or bored kids being a burden on their wedding day, and likewise parents can be overly conscious of their children’s behaviour and find the fact they have been invited stressful.
Wedding planner Barry Long told the BBC “I think it's because children are more disruptive than they used to be and brides are worried they will ruin their day." In spite of these attitudes, it’s widely felt that these family event wouldn’t be the same without children and their excitable antics, so keeping the little ones entertained provides the key to a memorable and hassle free event.
With outdoor, barn and farm yard weddings a major trend for weddings in 2016, it opens the door to plenty of opportunities for children to run wild, whilst adults can enjoy the celebrations.
