How To Make Children In Your Wedding Party Go Down The Aisle More Easily

How can I make children in my wedding party go down the aisle more easily?

If children absolutely don't want to go down the aisle at a wedding, don't force them. We sure don't want a child dragged down the aisle kicking and screaming. That ruins the wedding. Sometimes what we do with a little one is we have them in the back, we have mom up in the front row, and we'll find out what the kids favorite thing is. If it's M&Ms, we'll say to the kid, "Now go to Mommy. She has your M&Ms." If we do that they'll pretty much go down the aisle. With very young children, if they're really little, we have an older child and sometimes they get wheeled down the aisle in a wagon. We put the kid in a wagon and the older kid pulls them down the aisle and it's very cute and they're very adorable and they steal the show. The other thing we can do to get them to go down the aisle is sometimes we walk the younger child with an older child. There are different techniques, but again, the bottom line is, if you can't get the kid down the aisle at a wedding then you can't get them down, so you leave them alone.
