Children welcome, now what?

Weddings with children.

Inviting children opens up your wedding for fun and mischief. The key is keeping the children occupied and entertained on your wedding day.

Suggestions on helping keep the children entertained are:

Consider including some entertainment in a goodie bag or at their table which is appropriate for the children's age group for example drawing kits, bubble maker's, board game, computer games, story book, balloons.

You could organise entertainment such as a magician, clown, balloon animal display.

A comunal babysitter or one of the parents could surpervise thinkg like karaoke singing, dance contests, treasure hunts, ball games, pinatas, or face painting.

If the children are younger and need constant supervision seat them their parents, while older children can be seated at their own table ready with goodie bags and entertainment items.

Make sure children are fed quickly and early, and consider using a special menu for fussy eaters which will keep the children, the parents, and yourself happy.

Good luck with your wedding plans.
