Include Your Junior Bridesmaid & Groomsman in Your Wedding

It is becoming more common to include tweens in weddings.
Flower girls and ring bearers have always been part of weddings when there are
toddlers in the families. They are unpredictable and cute and everyone knows to
expect the unexpected.
But when the child is over the age of 8 and under the age
of 13, there are few options on how to include them in the ceremony. This is
where the junior bridesmaid and junior groomsman comes into play.

Include Your Junior Bridesmaid & Groomsman in Your Wedding

When including a tween in your wedding it is important to
treat them as you would any other member of the bridal party. Of course, they
cannot attend adult parties, but they can be included with shopping,
rehearsals, showers, and other wedding related activities. They can go with the
groups to have their hair styled and their clothes fitted.
Role of The Junior Bridesmaid
The junior bridesmaid role can be designed any way the
bride chooses. The most modern trend is for the junior bridesmaid to put on a
performance before the ceremony in song or recital. She then walks from the
stage and stands at the end of the bridesmaid row and the adults fill the row
as they arrive from their walk down the aisle.


Another option is allowing the junior bridesmaid to put
on a dance performance at the reception. She assumes the same role as the
bridesmaids during the wedding but at the reception, she begins the dance time
with a modern dance. There are many available
Outfits For Dancers.
 With the help of some cool lighting and the DJ, she can open the dance
floor with a great number.
Adding the Junior Groomsman in the act
The Junior groomsman helps to seat the guests. He can be
included in the song or recital and if he can be given a part in the dance
performance even if he does not take dance. The juniors can wear their costumes
and he can easily be taught a few steps to complement the routine.
Brides
While the bride who includes juniors in her wedding is a
usually a more laid-back person, she doesn’t sacrifice style for convenience. Technology
has come a long way in the bridal industry. Brides can easily find the perfect
wedding Dresses Online.  This major
bridal industry leader also allows bridesmaids to put down a small deposit and
have a dress shipped to them so they can try on the selection in the comfort of
their own home. They have the option to return the dress and try again if the
gown is not to her liking.
The bridal party has access to the styles, colors,
quality, and embellishments online just as they would have if they went to the
location.
The
Juniors clothes
The junior bridesmaid will wear a dress of the same color
and cut as the bridesmaids with age-appropriate changes. For example, she will
wear straps rather than a bare shoulder gown. The bridesmaid’s gowns may be
floor length, but you may consider a tea length dress for her to make it easier
to walk. Of course, she will wear pumps or flats, not high heels.
The Junior groomsmen will wear the same suit or tux as
the adult men in the wedding, though he may be allowed to remove his jacket and
wear his vest while he is “working”.
Responsibilities
for the Junior Bridesmaid & Groomsman
Here are some jobs that your juniors can easily take care
of:
  • Passing out programs
  • Assisting the ushers in
    seating grandparents and guests
  • Be in charge of the
    guestbook
  • Pass out bubbies,
    confetti or rice to shower the exciting couple
  • Help with cleaning up
Fun extras
After the wedding, give your junior bridesmaid and
groomsman a digital or instant camera and let her take pictures. A digital
camera will take the most pictures without the expense of the special film for
the instant camera. The camera and a photo album will make a great “thank you”
gift and you might be surprised at some of the great pictures they take.
The
“not a good idea” list
Here are some things that you will not ask a junior
bridesmaid and groomsman to do:
  • Babysit for guests
    • If someone has brought
      their child and the juniors want to play with him, that is fine. But do
      not ask her to be responsible for a young child in a venue full of
      people. Do not expect them to supervise toddlers outside and do not give
      them the responsibility of keeping the other children safe from the
      parking areas.
  • Be the maid
    • Sure, they can help tidy
      up but it should not be their job. If you would not as your maid of honor
      to clean up a mess, do not as your juniors to. They are not hired help.

Finally, thank them for their efforts. Whether things
went perfectly or not, let them know how great they were and how much they
added to the special day. Make this an event they will never forget.

6 Interesting Ways to Dress Your Son for Winters

Dressing
up your baby and toddler has to be the most fun part of the day. From the soft
material of
Baby Clothing to the adorable prints and
patterns, just looking at them is enough to melt your heart. The best thing is
that you get to dress them however you like, though this won’t last for long!
Winters can be a tricky season to dress your child, as they may not feel as
cold as you are feeling. As a mom, it is but natural that you’d be
extra-protective for your child and layer him up. Layering up your naughty
bundle does not mean that you have to lose out on style, too!

Dressing for Winters
We all know the basics of dressing up our
baby for winters. Layering is the way to go. However, when you are layering
your child, make sure you don’t over do it. Three layers are good enough for
your child. The first/ base layer should be wool, the second layer should be
wool or fleece and the last layer should be an outerwear such as a water-proof
jacket. Avoid cotton pants and jeans and make sure you have caps, mitts and a
scarf for your child.


Dungarees
are Always Awesome!
One of the most practical and comfortable
outfit for your little one is a good pair of dungarees. Traditionally, dungarees
always come in denim; however they are available in corduroy and jersey as
well. Corduroy and jersey are better options for winter season. From skinny
style to a flared style and a whole range of colors, you have a lot to choose
from. Pair the dungarees with a full-sleeves shirt in a bright color and layer
with a sleeveless jacket to complete the look. Make sure your child is wearing
a base layer inside. Remember you can always remove the jacket, if it gets too
much. Dungarees look great with ankle-boots.

Flannel
Jeans and a Checkered Shirt!
With winters in full throttle, flannel-lined
jeans with a ribbed waist are surely going to keep your baby warm. A base layer
of either a sleeveless or full-sleeves body-suit will ensure that the chest and
back remain covered. Pair the jeans with a red-checkered shirt and a
fur-trimmed, sleeveless jacket in dark blue. Since we have introduced fur in
the jacket, Sherpa-lined ankle boots will look absolutely cool and complete the
look. Make sure you have a pair of mitts!
Denim
All the Way!
Denim is never out of fashion, but as we
mentioned earlier, denim does not necessarily keep your child warm. So opt for
fleece-lined denim jeans and a jacket. Pair it with a colorful striped,
full-sleeves T-shirt and a scarf! A beanie in dark blue or matching striped
pattern will give an extra oomph to the outfit, besides covering your little
one’s head! Denim always looks great with tennis shoes, but make sure your child
is wearing warm socks with it!

Khakis
with an Olive Jacket
A winter is about warm colors and it is no
surprise that khaki pants make our list of trendy winter outfits. Khaki pants
generally come in cotton, but for winters we have the option of corduroy.
Corduroy khakis may look dull for winters, but you can warm them up with full-sleeves
rust colored t-shirt and then pair it off with an olive-colored jacket. Add a
scarf and a beanie to complete the look. Ankle-boots in a darker shade will
further enhance the khaki color.


A
Layered Button-down Shirt!
We all know that it is winters and it will be
quite cold, but that doesn’t mean your little man can’t take a fashion risk.
Layering is the key to this look. First of all, make sure there is a warm base
layer and the chest is completely protected. A thermal in neutral color will
work just as fine. Opt for a checkered button down shirt and don’t button it.
Layer it with a warm button-down sweater in a color that goes with the shirt.
Keep the buttons open. Pair it with flannel-lined denim jeans, a scarf tied
loosely around the neck and hiker boots.
The
Smart-Casual Look
It is never easy to dress up an active
toddler in a bow and tie, so we have come up with a smart- casual look for your
little man. All you need is pair of pants in a neutral color and mix and match
with a checkered shirt and a full-sleeves sweater. When you put on the sweater,
make sure, you turn up the sleeves of the sweater, a little bit, to give a
glimpse of the checkered shirt. The collar and hem of the shirt should be
exposed. Pair the outfit with duck boots to complete this look!

Dressing
up is Always Fun and More So, if it is Your Little One! So have Fun Styling him
for Winters!
