For many couples with children, including them in the celebration makes perfect sense. Even for couples without kids, you’ll want to avoid offending friends and family who do. For a destination wedding, it’s almost near impossible to not include them unless none of your guests have any children. Therefore its key to keep them entertained which can make all the difference in ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Just as kids need entertainment while waiting at the airport or in line, providing activities for them at a wedding ensures they have a great time. Even if there is only a couple of children present at your wedding, taking an extra step to ensure they feel welcomed and well taken care of will be appreciated by both the child and their parents.
Here are 10 fun things to consider to keep kids happy and entertained on your big day…
#1 Activity Bags
Personalised activity bags are a charming touch for your young guests. Fill them with crayons, colouring pages, bubble wands, puzzles, and sweets. Kids will love having their own special bags filled with goodies and treats just for them.
#2 Create a craft station
Let the kids make you a beautiful card to say congratulations! Set up a station with blank cards, crayons and pens where they can handcraft you a special card and display it proudly.
#3 Serving a Kids Meal
Kids can be fussy eaters, and chances are they won’t be excited about some of the food that you’ll be serving and that’s normal! Check out our ‘Kids Corner’ menu with mini beef burgers, mini pizza, mini hot dogs and chicken nuggets that your little ones will love!
#4 Set up a Kid’s Bar
A cocktail, wine and beer freezone, just a variety of juices, lemonades and non-alcoholic mocktails for the young ones!
#5 Lawn Games
Great fun for big and little kids alike! Set up giant jenga, connect 4, and even a mini golf course for everyone to play.
#6 Movie Night
Keep the kids entertained all night and let their parents fully enjoy the reception with an outdoor movie screening. Enhance the experience with special treats like popcorn and sweets, making it an unforgettable event for the little ones.
#7 Dance Floor Disco
Inviting the kids to join you on the dance floor is a fantastic way to make them feel included. Have your DJ or musician play some kid-friendly music at the start of the evening so they can dance their socks off.
#8 Candy Crazy
For all the sweet-toothed guests, set up or hire a candy corner filled with your favourite treats. Provide cute striped bags so guests can help themselves and indulge in the sugary delights!
#9 Entertainment
Kids just love bouncy castles! With a white wedding castle available to hire, even your bigger guests will join in the fun!
#10 Sparklers
Kids and sparklers can create magical moments, and who doesn’t love them! However it’s essential to supervise them closely to ensure safety.
