JUST because weddings are designed for adults to have a lot of fun, doesn’t mean you have to exclude children from your big day, especially if they’re yours. Giving guests a childcare option at your wedding will not only make them feel more comfortable, kids can also make your wedding more fun and exciting. Here are some ideas of what to do with younger guests.

Outdoor games
Whether it be backyard cricket, giant Jenga, jump rope, twister or hula hoops, outdoor activities will keep kids entertained for hours.
Have a mass babysitting
If your wedding is a child-free zone, then take the hassle out of each of your guests having to source their own babysitters by hiring your own team of them. This way parents can drop their children off at the start of the night knowing they will be safe and with a lot of other children to keep them company.
Colouring placemats
If you have a designated kids table then keep them amused with some paper placemats that feature games and colouring in. Alternatively, you can adorn the children’s table with a paper tablecloth and give them some crayons to go wild.
Book and movie corner
If your wedding goes well into the night, then the attending children are going to get tired. Keep them calm and give them a space to nod off with a movie and book corner. Boxes of popcorn will make it extra special.
