Brides with children

The last wedding I went to, they had 3 kids who all sat on a family table with their Nan.

Personally, if I had children, they'd be on the Top Table.. I think it shows the important roles of the day.

Yeah we've having out two children on the top table with us!

It's not just about my & the OH it's all 4 of us as a family iykwim

..

Thats what I think! Just wandered what other people were doing. I couldnt imagine them sitting at another table.xx

We're having our two children at each end of the TT but facing in at their request as they said they wouldn't want everyone watching them eat!

We have 7 children between us so no ! lol They will have their own table . But they all have a role. My two boys are giving me away and our two girls are BM's. 2 ushers who may do readings and a 2nd best man. They will all be mentioned in the ceremony and in the speeches.

I can understand why you won't be having them on the top table

It's lovely that your boys are giving you away how sweet

Our boys will be. One will sit between my mum and OH's dad and the other between my dad and OH's mum. We decided not to have them sit next to us so that the grandparents could deal with cutting dinner up/wiping faces/having sticky finger prints on them/toilet runs etc.

I don't have any kids but my OH has 3. They aren't sitting on the top table though. I did mention this to my OH as it was his decision to do it this way and I didn't want anyone thinking it was me being a wicked step-mother, but he is happy with the seating plan for them to be with his Dad and Step-mum.

We have 2 boys who will be 5 ad 2 by the time we get married and I plan on having them on the top table with us. I wouldn't have it any other way. x

Depends how we decide to do tables.. We thought about having a kids' table and having our 3 kids all sitting there with their cousins and friends, but if we opt not to do that then I'd rather have them sitting with me and h2b than anywhere else.

Depends on the kids. Mine and the ones coming to the wedding are very, very well behaved and can be trusted to sit together. Some I know, I wouldn't feel right without them sedated and hog-tied, lol!

I agree I will be having a kids table. I am not concerned at all. They will have tables of adults around them. They will range from 8-14 years.However the tables are for 10 and we have 11 children so they may be on tables interspersed with adults. We may have to wait until RSVPs are back.

My son who is 2 will be sitting on the tops table but we are having me and oh in the middle with his mum, step dad and bm on his 'side' of the table and i am having my dad, mum and son on mine (only done this way as my mum suffers from anxiety and will be going through enough on the day without being sat with people she doesn't know very well) This way my son is sitting on the top table, close enough to be part of it but sat at the end with my mum he will also be far enough away for me not to end up with gravy all over me lol

We'll be getting the grandparents to look after the children.

My son was 8 when I got married, he was our ring bearer on the day & did sit with us all at the top table.

Hope that helps

I havn't even considered food spillages or messy hands from my 2 year old, he will be right where he should be next to his mummy.

I remember my mate getting married when her son was two years old and he was such a complete nightmare all day that I swore after that I'd never have kids until I was married. lol.

H2B has 2 childrem, his eldest is one of the best men and will be 12 by the wedding and the youngest is 9 and is going to be a page boy/usher. They will both be sat at the top table with us.

The only other child at the wedding will be my nephew, who will be just turning 4, and he will sit with his mum and dad.

I'm planning to have my daughter and my niece at the top table with me, as I want them to feel special .

Our little one will be three and a half by the time of our wedding and he's gonna be at the top table with us for sure. The whole meaning of us getting married is us three uniting together as a family, I wouldn't want him sitting elsewhere.

It had never crossed my mind for my girls to not sit with us. My 11 yr old is one of the bridesmaids so she will sit alongside the others and my 3yr old will sit between my MILTB and dad.

But at the end of the day there isn't a rule on were everyone should sit, it's what works for you. x

My son will be Man of Honour, so he'll be at the top table with us, as will my niece (BM).

My nephew (usher) will be with his mum, as I wouldn't trust him to behave otherwise!

Our daughter was just under two when we got married and it didn't even cross our minds that she wouldn't sit with us! It's a shocking thought! She sat between us in her high chair looking very pleased with herself. Who cares if you get mucky little food covered hands wiped on your dress?! You're not going to wear it again, every little mark and stain tells a story of your wedding day and the bulk of the photos are done by then!

My husband's son was 21 when we got married but OH decided he'd be more comfortable sat on the family table, which he was.

Our daughter will only be 9 months old so we have opted to put her with the other children. I have hired nannies for the day to look after them too. I've not seen children of B&G at top table at any other wedding though.

F who will only 15 weeks will be alseep now doubt in his pram (which is going to be behind us) and L who is 3years is sitting with her Auntie and cousins . . .purely because we gave her the choice and she said she wanted to sit with her cousin as they are inseperable. ? But, on the day is she deicides any different it's not a problem we'll just move the chair!

Good on you mrsmcgorm2be! My sentiments exactly. What's more important at the end of the day, your children or a bit of food on a frock that'll be shoved in a box at the end of the night? Shame on anyone who's worried their dress might get a bit mussed up cos their little one with mucky hands wants to give them a cuddle or accidentally sploshes a bit of gravy on them - sort out your priorities!

Sorry, didn't mean for that to be a rant but I feel a bit strongly about this sort of thing.

My fiance's son is going on the top table, he is 11. I think if we had a few kids or they were older tho i would put them on a different table or it might be a bit too much!

My son will be sat between me and my mum as we are the only people who know how to look after him. I wouldn't have it any other way
