To nap or not to nap? Kids in your wedding

Having kids in your wedding can be very fun. They will often do the cutest things to catch my eye as a photographer and as a fellow mom. When you have children in your wedding, or around at the wedding, I advise folks to let those young ones have a nap. There's so much activtiy to watch before, during and after a wedding. It can poop your pumpkins right out! Letting them take a nap, even a short one, can really refresh them. It also gives you and their parents a break from kid-patrol. If it's not possible to take a normal nap, at least give them some quiet time with a quiet space. Try fun coloring books with crayons. Be sure to have favorite stuffed animals, blankets or security items handy. Anything to lighten the stress-load on wedding day is a good thing!
