Spain welcomes children at weddings
It is well known that Spain is one of the most family orientated countries in Europe and for this reason children are welcomed at weddings. But how do the adults enjoy a stress free wedding when they have their children with them? Read our top tips!
How to keep children happy at weddings
It is obvious that a happy child means happy adults!
Keep the child entertained, well fed and give them somewhere safe to relax, and you too will be able to make the most of every moment of the wedding celebrations.
Children of different ages need to be considered.
Top tip: consider renting a bedroom as a designated quiet space for the youngest children at your wedding and employ a babysitter for the period from the food to mid-evening to give parents a chance to eat in peace and have a dance.
Children at beach weddings in Spain
Beach weddings in full sun can be too hot for many children in Spain. The sand can burn little feet, children forget to keep hydrated or reapply sun protection cream.
Shade is the key to children enjoying a beach wedding in Spain.
Children can be fussy eaters so don’t include them in a formal sit down meal, ask your caterer to organise food stations where children can help themselves – this will save you money on wasted food too!
Top tip: don’t worry too much about plates! Children love using their fingers to eat food and walking around holding their food. Do make sure you have lots of bins for rubbish and wet wipes for cleaning sticky hands
You might discover that the children are having so much fun at your wedding that the adults want to join them too!!!
