6 Fun Ways To Entertain Kids At Weddings

You're getting married!!! You'll spend months obsessing over all of the little details that will make your wedding day perfect! You've found THE dress, monogrammed all of the favors for guests, meticulously planned out your menu down to the signature cocktails! 
Your friends and family will be swooning over how perfect your wedding was and any good Southern bride will want her guests to enjoy their celebration, even the smaller guests! 
Many parents know the struggle: you're invited to an adult event, but can't always rely on a babysitter. So to the wedding couple who says it's okay to bring the kiddos to your wedding; we've complied a list of some fun ways to keep the kids at your wedding entertained!

1. Crafting Table
Kids love making things! They love to draw, color, paint, and create! Lay out some kraft paper, especially if you're renting tables to avoid damaging your rentals. Supply an assortment of craft supplies: washable paint, canvases, markers, crayons, coloring books, construction paper......the list can go on! While your adult guests mingle and have a good time, your smaller guests can be entertained by being creative!

2. Dessert Station {Just For Kids}
Kids LOVE sweets, well most of them anyway (except mine, they'll take fruit over sweets). Give them something special to eat, not all kids will eat an entire slice of wedding cake, so think of a fun way to keep them entertained while satisfying their sweet tooth, especially if they can't wait until the cake is served! They can decorate their own cupcake, cookie, even their own ice cream sundae! And as long as an adult is present, you can setup a small s'mores bar just for the kids or adults too!

3. Disposable Cameras
​Place a disposable camera at each kids seat with an "I Spy" sheet to give them ideas on photo taking. At the end of the night have them place the cameras in a basket.

6. Goodie Bags
We lay out wedding favors for guests at the end of the reception for adult guests to take as they leave, why not have goodie bags for your younger guests, too! Except have their goodie bags waiting for them as they arrive! You can put together small packages with crayons, paper to color on, candy, small toys or even mini Lego sets! Whatever your heart or budget desires!
