Playing at special occasions

If you are attending a formal occasion such as a wedding, family party or funeral with your child, you might wonder whether it’s okay for your child to play there. There aren’t any rules about this, and other parents may be feeling the same. Could you get in touch with the hosts or organisers in advance to talk about your child and the event? It will show that you want to do the right thing and give them a chance to let you know how they would prefer things to be.
