Wedding Day fun for Little Ones
Wedding Day fun for Little Ones
Weddings are for family and friends which includes - children. But keeping the youngsters entertained during your big event can be a piece of cake with the right kids activities to keep them busy.
There is a growing trend of the Bride and Groom to offer a children’s entertainment and child minding service at your Wedding.
It’s not always easy for guests to organise babysitters while they attend your big day – so why not encourage them to bring the kids along and be totally entertained. This may include entertainment which is tailor designed by a local children's entertainment company like Encore Kids Parties or alternatively you could plan ahead and prepare activities like these:
Kids Wedding Party Packs
Kids love to have their very own small bag or box to explore at their place setting during a reception. These can keep their minds and hands busy with items such as a snack, colouring in, crayons, mini puzzle, small novelty toy and surprisingly enough - a finger puppet works really well. A colouring in activity placemat is an alternative to a party pack and can be customised to include the bride and groom's names. Encore loves to design these at an affordable starting price of $6.95 each (plus Postage)
Arts and Crafts Area
Whether your wedding is indoors or outside, it's a great idea to allow children to get up from the table and play freely in a designated area or side room. An arts and crafts area is a fabulous addition to this space. Crafts could include a card making table, colouring in, why not a Groom top hat craft or a tulle headband veil to decorate? These could be adorned with sparkling rhinestones and foam stickers. Make sure there is also play doh for the youngsters and tubs of pipe cleaners - it's amazing how simple crafts can be made from these items.
Party Games Area
This area should be supervised and can include games such as pass the parcel, dancing games, limbo, treasure hunts, board games, twister, jenga, and more.
Storytelling Corner
Why not when the night gets older, settle the kids down watching a movie or storytelling. Comfy pillows or beanbags are a great addition to this area.
Dress up - Photo booth corner
We all love to dress up and take a selfie, why not let the kids enjoy this too! Provide a backdrop, a photographer (enlist an older cousin), dress up clothes and you have lights, camera, action!
Enjoy your very special day
