A junior wedding attendant is a very special person in a wedding! Today Azazie guest blogger, Wendy, is sharing with you more about including a junior attendant in your wedding.  A junior wedding attendant usually a young person a bit young to serve as a member of the full wedding party. They are usually between 8 and 14 years of age. Their relationship in the couple’s life demands that they share in this most important day.

The junior attendant is included in any activity that the other wedding participants are included in, as long as it is age appropriate. They can shop, go to have their hair styled, go to special lunches, and spa days.

Junior attendants attire

The junior attendant should be dressed in an age-appropriate version of the clothing chosen for your other attendant. Of course, you will have a few considerations. A female attendant in a strapless or backless gown may be fine for an adult. But, for a child, strap would need to be added. Men and women wearing expensive designer shoes are something they will care for and love for years. A growing child will not have that respect for the expensive attire. So, a substitution may be in order.

Performance

Many junior attendants are given the honor or performing at the wedding. If she or he is in dance, a dance performance in a special dance outfit from a quality place like Justforkix.com is in order.

Other things your junior attendant can be included in:

  • Making wedding favors
  • Attending shopping events
  • Helping attendants seat guests (especially parents and grandparents)
  • Passing out programs
  • Passing out bubbler, rice, or confetti after the ceremony
  • If the child is not to tired, she/he can greet guests in the reception line
  • Helping with cleanup

Alternating roles

If your union is blending two established families, consider including the junior attendant in the vow exchange. This is a part of many weddings where families are being blended. The parents write vows to the children to love and protect them. The parents can help the children in writing vows to the new members of the family.

It is important to understand that these are vows. They are promises. Children should not be forced to write or recite any promises that they do not want to or that they feel they cannot keep. A child might promise to try to help their new parent or siblings feel welcome or to try to share their life with them. Just let them fit in naturally. If that is too difficult, have them simply accept the vows being offered. Remember they are children.

Including children in the wedding that have a special place in your heart is endearing and it helps get your union off to a great start. This is a wonderful way to acknowledge that every member of the family matters and is considered.
