Getting married on the 18th of October. My partner and I have 3 children. Would anyone put the kids on the table with the bride and groom?

Personally I wouldn't as I think they would get bored. Better to have them on another table with some 'minders' and activities.

We are, we are getting married to complete our family, so having them on either side of us made perfect sense to us. No children are sitting next to each other on any of our tables. But we are having afternokn tea so children will be able to just get up when they want. X

I think it depends on the type of day you want. Of its very formal maybe have them on another table with something to keep them entertained. It's your day so depends if u want to be hassled with kids or just focus on you and H2B X

We have three as well and wanted them on the top table but due to extended parents we had the kids on the closest table to us.

I'm having a formal wedding. I'm putting my children either side of myself and the groom. They will get a goodie box to keep them entertained. Each to their own but my wedding will be as much about them as it will be about the union. I want them to enjoy the day with us. Plus they will be 2 and 3 and most likely won't settle unless with me and Lee

We've only got one little boy. He'll only be 2 and half when we get married. I think he'd be bored sat with us the whole time so I'm gna put him a high chair with us and one with his cousins at the nearest table, so he can eat with us then go play with the other kids x
