How to Involve Your Children in Your Wedding Stationery

Weddings are joyful occasions that celebrate the love between two people—but when children are already part of the picture, the celebration naturally extends to family. If you have young children of your own, it’s only natural to want them to feel included in the build-up to the big day. While they might be taking part as bridesmaids, flower girls, or page boys, there are other meaningful ways to involve them in the wedding preparations—especially when it comes to your wedding stationery.

One lovely way to make children feel involved is to let them help with your wedding invitations. This not only gives them a sense of responsibility but also helps them feel that they are part of the celebration from the very beginning.

Depending on their age and interests, they can get involved in various ways:

• Choosing a colour scheme: Let them help decide between shades of pink, blue, green, or gold. Give them a few pre-approved options and ask what they think works best.

• Sketching ideas: If they enjoy drawing or painting, they might love the chance to create a “mock” invitation. Even if you don’t use it, it could be a lovely keepsake.

• Helping with the online order: Children can enjoy clicking through options on your chosen stationery website and helping to select fonts or designs. Just be sure to steer them away from rainbow Comic Sans!

Involving your little ones in this part of wedding planning can teach them all sorts of things—from how to collaborate on decisions to how online shopping works! They’ll also get a glimpse into how much love and thought goes into making a wedding special.

From the moment you order your save the date cards through to creating your thank you notes after the big day, children can see how something as simple as stationery plays a big role in setting the tone and theme of your wedding.

There are plenty of little jobs children can help with:

• Counting and sorting invitations

• Stuffing envelopes

• Licking and sticking (most kids love the idea of licking envelopes, but perhaps keep some water and a sponge handy!)

• Sticking address labels

• Adding stamps or decorations

These small jobs give them a sense of ownership and contribution while easing the load for you.

After all their help, it’s only right to say thank you! Why not order a bag of wedding sweets or chocolates along with your stationery? Treat it like a mini reward for their hard work, and maybe even make a little event of it: set up a “wedding invite workshop” at the dining table, turn on some music, and enjoy the moment together.

If your children have created their own invitation designs or done drawings as part of the process, consider framing one as a keepsake. It’s a lovely memento of their involvement and makes a sweet addition to your wedding album or memory box.

Getting your children involved in your wedding stationery is a great way to build excitement for the big day. Whether they’re helping to choose designs, sticking stamps, or just offering their very best “thumbs up” to the final selection, they’ll feel proud to be part of something so special.
