Any suggestions on including my 6 month old in my wedding?

My sons father and I are getting married in Sept and our son will be 6 months only... we wanted him to be pulled in a wagon down the aisle by the flower girl... but I am not sure anymore. I want to include him somehow because he is part of our family...



we just didnt want the groomsmen to hold him incase he became fussy... but any other suggestions?? THANKS!!

Any suggestions on including my 6 month old in my wedding?
to reduce additional wedding stress I would not include him in the ceremony.. odds are in favor there will be crying and possibly being spit up on during the ceremony.. if you really want him included perhaps wait until he is a little older to have your ceremony..
Reply:I would not have him as part of the ceremony itself but would be sure to include him in plenty of photographs so he can look at them when he's older. He won't remember being there or not so giving him a part in the ceremony only adds to the risk of him being fussy, crying and carrying on. You could include his name in the vows and vow to be a good mother/father/family for him but I think his physical presence should be governed by a third party who doesn't mind missing half of the ceremony if your son decided to have a bowel movement or spit up during the nuptuals. Kids and weddings are a risky business... Good luck!!!
Reply:The wagon's a cute idea, but have one of his grannies on hand to hang onto him after his big trip down the aisle. Just have the flower girl pull him in the wagon down the aisle, and then have someone he already knows come and take him back to his/her seat and keep him there for the rest of the ceremony. That way, his fussiness won't disrupt the ceremony.
Reply:Have someone who knows him on baby duty. They can take him for walks if he get fussy so the groomsman don't have to. Pulling him down in a wagon would be cute. I think you should maybe have a special part in the ceremony though, where you and his dad hold him and make a vow to be a family in addition to the vow to be husband and wife. He is the kids father, but you could still say something about how Mom and Dad are now officially married and your family is officially coming together. Maybe give him a gift of some sort for when he gets older.
Reply:A great idea! I am very pleased to see that young children will be at the wedding! They are part of the family too!



*I can't stand weddings where kids aren't invited... hehe, just my opinion.*



Anyways, the wagon idea is cute! Or you could have daddy walk into the church down the center aisle before you... at our wedding we had the whole party process, not just the girls. The groomsmen escorted the girls, then my husband escorted his mom, then the FG and RB and then me and my dad... daddy could walk in with the baby instead of his mom (she could be seated earlier with her husband as traditionally done.)



Once daddy gets up front, then the baby could play or rest in a little area already set up near the front of the church.



Good luck!
Reply:THis is one I found that has a seat belt (definately a plus for a 6 month old. I saw one on bridezillas once that was a little white car pushed from behind it was very cute. I would have him pulled by the flower girl and then have him held by someone he is comfortable with. Like mother of the bride etc. since she is up front as well. If he becomes fussy have someone sit with her that she can pass him off to. Good luck

Reply:I say you should put some wings on him and have him floating butt naked (on invisible wires) across the altar like a little cherub. That would look sweet! You could even put a little bow %26amp; arrow in his hands and turn him into Cupid to remind you of the time you and hubby first met. He'd probably sleep through the whole thing but the pictures would totally ROCK!



P.S. Don't give the rings to the baby unless you want to wait until he poops to continue the ceremony.
Reply:Decorate a stroller with flowers and make it look really nice. Put him in a baby tux and have him sit to the side of the groomsmen.



You could also make him the ring bearer. Have someone push him up to you and have the rings in a pouch next to him in the stroller.



Good luck :)
Reply:I saw a really cute picture the other day where the couple held their children ( I think one was from a previous relationship and the other was theirs together) during the pour of the unity sand (instead of candle lighting) It was actually very cute the way it worked out.
Reply:the wagon idea is so cute! why don't you use that idea?! he could have the rings sitting on his lap or something and be the ring bearer. how cute!
