Keeping the Little Ones Entertained

12:09:00 pm

Having children at your wedding is amazing whether it's your own, your nieces, nephews, cousins or

even your friends children, they can create such a wonderful and infectious atmosphere. But we all know just how much of a handful they can be when they get tired, hungry or bored.

So today's blog post is all about what you can do, or have, in your wedding to keep those little ones entertained. Obviously what keeps a teenage boy happy is completely different to keeping a five year old girl smiling so make sure you have a little something for everyone.

Here are just a few of the ideas we came up with ...

1) Children will usually get quite hungry and thirsty after the initial ceremony so feed them as soon as you can afterwards.

2) Outdoor Games like Jenga are perfect for the warmer weather but make sure you have a back up in case of that annoying rain.

3) A Bouncy Castle will keep the kids at bay for hours and let's face it, they're fun no matter what age you are and we know after a few drinks even the adults will be joining in!

4) Face Painters are a fab idea for the kids and is always a popular choice, just make sure all the formal photography is finished before they start channeling their inner Spiderman.

5) Have a little arts and crafts table with some crayons, play dough, fuzzy balls etc. and let them get creative, perhaps give them challenges like decorating a cake with the equipment.
