Wedding Day Childcare in Your Budget
Planning a wedding involves countless details, from choosing the perfect venue to selecting your dream dress. While couples almost always allocate funds for venue hire, suits, alcohol, florals, and entertainment, one crucial element is frequently overlooked—professional childcare. If your children are involved in your wedding or others are attending, investing in a wedding nanny is a decision you won’t regret.
The Importance of Wedding Childcare
Weddings are magical but can also be long and overwhelming for young children. A well-planned childcare solution ensures that the children are safe, supervised, entertained and well-cared for, allowing parents to fully enjoy the celebration.
Without professional childcare, parents may find themselves leaving early, missing important moments, or struggling to keep their little ones happy throughout the day. It also means there is someone else to dress them before the ceremony and keep them busy playing, while the bridal party can continue to get ready. By including a wedding nanny in your budget, you guarantee a smooth, stress-free experience for both parents and children.
How a Wedding Nanny Enhances Your Special Day
A professional wedding nanny provides tailored care based on the needs of your wedding. Here’s how our nannies can make a difference:
Pre-Wedding Assistance: From getting little ones dressed to ensuring they’re comfortable before the ceremony, our nannies helps with every detail.
Ceremony Support: Keeping children settled and entertained so they don’t become restless or disruptive. We can take them for a walk, go inside/outside to play, sit with them and give them a snack or quietly play with cars. All of our nannies have a bag with cars, bubbles, fidget toys and other bits and pieces to keep your little ones entertained.
Photo Assistance: Ensuring kids are engaged, happy, and smiling for family portraits. Bubbles come in handy for this!
Reception Care: Supervising play areas, assisting with meals, and ensuring a smooth transition to bedtime. In most cases transport back to accommodation can be arranged too.
Pre-Wedding Meet & Greet: To help parents feel at ease and allow children to familiarise themselves with their nanny, we offer optional babysits or visits before the wedding day. All bookings include a FaceTime in the lead up to the wedding too.
Why You Should Budget for a Wedding Nanny
Many couples hesitate to add childcare to their wedding budget, thinking family members can manage. However, relying on guests to juggle childcare means they may miss key moments or become overwhelmed. It also means no one misses out on the party! Booking a wedding nanny ensures:
Peace of Mind: Parents can relax knowing their children are in expert hands.
A Seamless Celebration: No unexpected disruptions or early departures.
Happier Guests: Parents can fully enjoy the event without distractions.
A Better Experience for Children: Our nannies can provide age-appropriate activities, play spaces, and determine the best space for rest areas so children remain comfortable and engaged.
