When your family is invited to a close party, a wedding ceremony or just simply a friend’s birthday event, your kids will be, of course, included. But what to wear for your kids in different purpose event?

Weddings are the perfect occasion to don our finest attire, from pretty hats to shiny shoes. A flower girl and ring bearer walking down the aisle will look precious. So is it time to buy your son his first suit? Should your daughter wear a princess’ dress? Perhaps less fancy apparel is appropriate and may also be more practical.

Consider the following by HappyMom.Life when choosing outfits for your kids.

Gender specifics

Girls' princess dresses are adorable but be sure you don’t send a mini-bride down the aisle. Avoid full-length dresses. This leads to tripping, ripped hems and the occasional fall. Good lengths are just below the knee, mid-calf and above the ankle.

You might coordinate the color with the bridesmaids' color scheme to let your child fit in tastefully.

 Boys might not enjoy getting dressed up as much as girls. Suits are advisable for formal weddings and tuxedos are reserved for black-tie weddings. Otherwise, trousers with a matching blazer or jacket are a good bet. Matching the groom and the groomsmen will allow your child to fit in and look good. Keep it simple and solid.

Dress For Comfort

Avoid tight-fitting clothes. You can still keep kids stylish with a loose fit. Kids move around a lot, dancing and playing with other children and a little wiggle room is always better. Kids grow fast so there will be more opportunities to wear these clothes. You can also make alterations if necessary, which a tight fit won’t allow.

Leave layers for another time. Kids will need frequent restroom breaks (especially younger children). Layers can be cumbersome and make them hot and irritable.

With shoes, keep it simple. Stylish flats for girls are best and a nice pair of patent leather shoes for boys. If their feet get sore, don’t be surprised if you find their shoes in a corner.

Be Practical

When dressing your child for a wedding, consider the season. Warmer weather is the perfect time for a lovely tea dress for girls and cotton polo shirts under blazers for boys. Remember, comfort is key!

• Choose kid-friendly colors. You may want to go a little darker in color if you fear spills and smudges.
• Kids tend to get messy with food and drink spills. Keep that in mind when choosing the fabric.
• Choose something durable

Have fun — accessorize!
