We are having 2 ceremonies, Friday formal and Saturday outdoor casual ceremony w/ BBQ reception. As we have MANY nieces/nephews/small children attending, we will have a children's procession instead of typical flower girl/ ring bearer. Any child who wishes to participate is welcome. Once they are down the aisle the children will be escorted to a play area around back by 'camp counselors' who have volunteered. I am looking for suggestions for what the children can carry that will be colorful and not expensive or cumbersome. Flowers could be expensive, balloons could be disasterous if a small child accidentally lets go. Any suggestions? Or ideas where I could buy inexpensive small colorful flags to wave or colored paper laterns? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks. Claire
