Are you having children attending your Wedding Day? and need some ideas on how you can keep them entertained..... then this blog is all about that.
I have been to a few weddings recently that have really catered for the kids which has been FAB - Having a nearly 4 year myself it can be hard work to keep them out of mischief especially when photos are being taken, and the speeches are being done. So here are a few ideas that I have come across that I hope will be of use to you all.
Outdoor Games - This is a FAB way of keeping them happy if you have the space to do it - Things like giant jenga, snakes and ladders, skittles and twister to name a few. A perfect way to get the kids all playing together no matter what ages - and also im sure the big kids (Adults) will join in too :)
Kids Table - If you have a few children at your wedding then you could always have a kids table, they can then all sit together and have a different centrepiece that is relevant for them - maybe lego. You could then have colouring books, small toys and a few sweets - so they dont ruin their dinner. This works perfect for the older children maybe not so suited if you have under 5s.
Childcare Service - You could aways have a few hours of child care provider, there are many companies around UK and Aboard that offer this service and it is perfect. I have been to a wedding that had this and they were amazing. They bring lots of different toys and they play games with the children. You could always have the service whilst the drinks reception and speeches are happening so the kids dont get bored and are definately entertained and then they come and sit at the table once food is being serviced.
Kids Entertainer - Another idea is to have a kids entertainer. There are many different options out there that you can choose from: A Magician, A Clown, A Balloon Artist, Facepainter. All these will definately kids your kiddies happy for an hour or so.
A Photo Booth- This is a perfect way to getting the kids involved and creating some FAB photos - also the adults will LOVE this too. With a prop box you can have hours of fun dressing up and making some funny photos. There are a few different options out there you could have a prop box, a few cardboard cutouts, photo frames and a polaroid and have some fun or you can hire a photo booth.
So there are a few ideas of how you could keep your little ones entertained at your wedding.
I would love to hear if any other ideas that you have used - please do share.
