Entertaining Children at Weddings

Children can be so cute at weddings.  You never quite know what they will do.  Will your ring bearer walk down the aisle without throwing the pillow like a football?  Will the flower girl throw petals or will she try to pick them up? Children can add some much needed comic relief to a wedding ceremony, but what about the reception?  How can you keep them entertained?

If you have a large number of children you may want to consider having a seperate room in your venue just for kids.  You would need to have a babysitter (or a few depending on the number of children) and lots of activities for them to do.  A television for movies, board games, paper and crayons, etc. You may even want to serve dinner to the children in this room. Invite them back to the reception during the dancing so they can show off their skills and entertain you and your guests once again!

If you have a smaller group of children, you may want to have something for them at the table to keep them busy.  A Wedding Day Coloring Book with crayons:


Or you could have a Children's Wedding Day Activity Kit waiting for them at the table:
