11 ways to entertain kids at Weddings


If you’re planning on having kids at you’re Wedding then it’s a good idea to come prepared with some full proof ideas to keep the little ones occupied and allow the adults some well deserved grown up time.

Here are our ideas to ensure that your smallest guests enjoy your big day too!

1. Kids Table

Allow the little ones to get in touch with their inner artist and equip your kids table with craft supplies, packed with crayons, pencils, glitter and paper. Allow them to write a card for the Bride and Groom or simply draw until their hearts are content. You may also want to consider designing your own activity briefcases. These make a fun and exciting surprise for the kids. In your briefcases you can put bubbles, glow sticks, costume accessories and craft supplies, everything the little ones need to keep them entertained. Another great idea for your kids table would be to have an edible centerpeice. A chocolate bouquet what kid wouldn’t love that?

3. Kids photo-both

Allow a designated time in which the kids can use the photo-booth. Or if your budget allows it set up a kids only photo-both equipped with dress ups and props.

4. Mocktails

Allow the kids to raise a glass to the Bride and Groom by designing some kid friendly mocktails. A lemonade stand may also be a great idea for the little ones if you are having an outdoor ceremony.

7. Bubble stand

Bubbles are one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to keep little critters blissfully entertained. If your having an outdoor ceremony consider setting up a bubble stand where kids can refill their own individual containers of bubbles as well as large wands for giant sized bubbles.
