Many grown-ups put in place a guest baby-ban ahead of their big day. But deciding whether to completely avoid inviting children can be a really tough decision.
Kids can be a terror to keep occupied throughout your celebrations but if you have lots of little relatives of course your wedding would not be the same without them present.
Dare to be different and introduce these child-friendly wedding ideas. Your mini-guests will be entertained all day.
May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favor
Lawn games are a great idea for your outdoor wedding. Give your under 18 guests a flash from the past with old-school games such as croquet, the ring toss and giant jenga. Remember the best childhood fun is made without a smartphone!
Happy Meal
Most children are really fussy eaters and will turn their nose up to your fancier meal options for the grown-ups. Ask your venue if they will cater to your needs by providing a kids menu.
Other great ideas to wow them are organising a candy cart with a gourmet version of a happy meal for your food station reception.
Table Manners
The banquet meal is usually the trickiest part of the day when it comes to children. Trying to keep them sitting at their table while food is being served can be a nightmare.
Give them tasks such as drawing a picture for the happy couple by providing crayons and paper. Make them feel involved in your special day with a fun game of I-Spy where they can play make-believe paparazzi for the evening.
We absolutely love this cute table plan idea made of Lego!
Fun Favors
Party bags will leave your mini guests remembering how fab your special day was for weeks to come.
There are loads of fun choices for kiddie wedding favors such as bubble gum machines, wedding bubbles, specialised candy bags and colouring books.
Kids Corner
When you’re a little person at a family wedding, sometimes all the excitement can exhaust you. Make sure to provide children with a chill-out area where they can have a nap or just sit and play together.
Being a wedding guest can be tough work when you are so adorable!
