During the ceremony
Welcome
Ask a few children to hand out a ‘text book’ to all guests at the entrance to the ceremony venue. This makes the task of any master of ceremonies a little lighter and it's nice for your guests to get a book from such a little princess or prince. How sweet...
Scattering flower petals
Give your bridesmaids a pretty basket, completely in the style or theme of your wedding party, filled with flower petals. And have them walk in pairs in front of you, scattering the flower petals on the centre aisle. Can we see your mum shedding a tear already?
Plate up!
You see it more and more often: a bridesmaid standing at the front of the aisle with a sign in the air saying ‘Here comes the bride!’ or ‘Here's your bride!’. Make sure the sign is chosen or made in the same spirit of your wedding party. The moment when that little arm, the sign rises into the air and everyone looks forward expectantly to your arrival, as the bride... That's golden....
Rings treasurers
The possibilities are endless, but today most bridal couples still choose a cushion with ribbons to tie the rings to. A pretty box, basket or floral creation, for example, are also options. Have a bridesmaid or boy put on the cushion with the rings. Watch them shine with pride...
During the party
Guest book boss
Often a guest book is beautifully displayed on a table, all dressed up in the party theme, but people forget to leave a message or thank you. So ask two children to be the ‘guest book boss’. We bet your guests will no longer skip that little table.
Gift-giver
Would you like to give a thank-you gift to your guests when they return home - a small gift as a reminder of your wedding day? Again, ask two bridesmaids to man the gift table and hand a gift to each guest. Your bridesmaids will make handing it out a little more personal than just letting your guests take a present from the table when they leave!
Kids Disco
A kids disco guarantees ambiance from start to finish. A 100% live on stage performance with hits the kids can't stop listening to. Fun, singing and dancing guaranteed!
Bouncy castle
Bouncy castles are all the rage at weddings these days. Order a beautiful white, stylish bouncy castle for your wedding and have fun together. A bouncy castle ensures good laughs and great photos afterwards.

Photo Divas
That you can't just let bridesmaids do very nice practical things on your wedding day is obvious. But let's be honest... bridesmaids in the cutest little dresses and mini costumes also look super cute and beautiful in your wedding photos. Make sure the kids wear matching outfits, and hold mini versions of your bridal bouquet. We bet the cuddliness level in your photos will increase (even more).
