Build childcare around the wedding timeline
Instead of booking “for the wedding”, map the specific hours when children need support. This makes the request easier to coordinate and gives families clearer expectations.
Share venue and accommodation details
Tell your childcare coordinator where the family is staying and where childcare will happen. Venue access and movement between locations matter.
Plan for the quiet moments too
The hardest part is often not the ceremony itself but transitions, photos, dinner and late-evening fatigue. A thoughtful plan covers those periods as well.
Keep the booking information explicit
For international families, written confirmation of date, location, hours, children and booking status is especially useful.
