Having toddlers on your bridal train can be tasking. Albeit, it can be avoided. Most bridal trains are never truly complete without a little bride, little groom, ring bearer or flower girls.
Here’s a short guide on how to deal with little children on your wedding train.
1. Everybody Loves A Buddy
Yeah, everybody loves to have someone that they are comfortable with around and this mostly applies to children.
If you can, the kids on your bridal train should be quite familiar with each other, you or even the other adults around. This helps calm them down. It gives them a sense of ‘security’.
2. An Idle Mind…
Keeping the kids busy saves you the stress of having to control them every time.
Hence, a game or a book with lots of photos will help them sit quietly if they have to, especially during the exchange of vows.
3. No Sweets Allowed!
Although scientists say, it is a myth that sweets make children hyper. We still advise that for those few hours, they should be kept off sweets. Better safe than sorry, right?
4. Beginner’s Luck?
Beginner’s luck doesn’t always fly so if the child (children) you intend to have on your bridal train have never been on any prior to yours. A little pep talk or practice before the D-day might be quite useful.
5. Chaperones Never Hurt
Having a train guide will help you keep the children in check and nobody has to run helter-skelter trying to keep them in one place.
Children are amazing as they are a handful, proper guidance is needed when dealing with them. Although, it is advised not to overdo it, if you ask us, the most beautiful bridal trains are those with children.
