6 Things to Consider When Asking Kids to Be in a Wedding

If you have a very specific idea of what you'd like the child to wear (an Oscar de la Renta flower girl dress, perhaps?), then consider making it a gift, particularly if you know it's not in the parents' budget. Even if you're less particular, still give Mom and Dad a very clear guideline of what you'd like the children to wear (otherwise, you can't be mad when she decides to show up in her princess costume!). Also consider flower-girl props, boutonnieres, and other accessories that might link little ones into your wedding theme and decor.
