18 month old DD at our wedding- experiences?

[glasshalffull0]

DD is our first child so we don't really know what to expect of her at our wedding when she's 18 months. We'd like her to walk down the aisle (absolutely no pressure on her if she doesn't want to). Is this likely?

Does anyone have any experiences of getting married with a child that was a similar age? How were they at the wedding?

She's currently 8 months old, loves attention and is a happy little soul so I'm praying this continues!

Some dc aren't walking at that age, some and running! One thing I can guarantee is she'll be unpredictable. My advice is to take chilled out attitude to her participation and if she wants to run around let her, nobody minds, only you. I had 20 month old twins running riot at a wedding at work (church) and our vicar carried on regardless, a slightly exasperated sister of the bride was attempting to wrangle them but the couple were so chilled, their children after all

forgot to add- am I being unreasonable for not inviting children beyond our daughter and 2 year old nephew?

Yes our wedding coordinator said some parents insist their children do X Y and Z and they just end up flustered and irritated! She’s going to be in a room full of people that love her so hopefully she’s happy enough just running around and having the time of her life

With regards to other children attending - can you work out how many this is likely to be and whether it's affordable to have them attend? And also key peoples potential child care arrangements. Eg best friend cant attend because can't get child care for her 8 year old. Maybe have a child minder available to keep them occupied whilst the boring bits are going on. If you've got two toddlers going you might as well have six (or whatever)

In general though I think if you don't want children there then don't have them. Only want immediately families children there, that's fine. But hold the boundary
