We also have 3 under 6yrs ols. I'm spreading them out to sit with family they know well so it doesn't become a burden for anyone to look after 3 at once! Like they're hosting their own tables if you like....and we have a sweetheart table for 2.

I think it's personal preference there's no traditional answer as I suppose children came after marriage, we had parents siblings and our son on our top table but really it's where ever you wan them to be xx

Our daughter was 4 when we got married, we asked her who she wanted to sit next to and it was a family member she picked, we checked with them first that she would be able to sit next to them, instead of just landing them with her lol. X

Don't have children personally but ALL of the siblings and close cousins (7 sets in total) have children so we are planning on having a children's area and a children's entertainer.

I sat my boys separate..... my eldest with my family and my youngest with my husbands family but I wasn't having them at the top table they were only 6mnths old and 5 years old I didn't want them to carry on and misbehave hence the reason to separate them

Ours is going to be relaxed seating so I'm going to have a "kids table" with crayons etc.... there's going to be 15 kids so will need something to entertain them

I have 3 who will be 7, 5 and 3 when I get married and we've decided to seat the children with family, we are going to seat them on the tables closest to the top table so we can see them and they can see us. X

Ask them??? I have a 4 year old and she wanted to sit with her older cousins rather than with me and her father. It was easier her doing what she wanted. X

Outta entirely up to you but the general thing is, if they ate pay off the wedding party I.e. follower girls, page boys etc, them at the top table. If not, then with close family such as a grandparent. Remember, It's your day and you don't have to follow the norm. X

We only have the one so he'll be sat between us. However I'm collecting lots of small new toys, bubbles and colouring to make him a little surprise bag to keep him occupied during the meal. I want to be able to enjoy it with out running around after him or trying to keep him amused. X
