Great Ways to Keep the Kids Busy on Your Big Day


Kids at a wedding are always great quality and bring brilliant photographic moments such as this:



But as the day goes on it’s easy for them to get bored and tired so here are Topperland’s top tips for keeping the kids busy on the day whilst still being able to have them at your wedding.

1.       Board Games


Set up a variety of different board games on the kids table at the reception so that the little ones can keep themselves busy on the day. Ensure that the boardgames are age appropriate and gender neutral to ensure no bickering on the day.

2.       Arts and Crafts


Set up some simple arts and crafts for the kids to be getting on with such as paper dolls, jewellwry making and colouring books – make sure that it’s nothing that will be spilt over party clothes or won’t be able to be cleaned off easily at your venue.

3.       Kids Food

Kids are unlikely to enjoy the adult food that you’ll be serving for your wedding meal so why not set up a small buffet for the kids with food that’s more age appropriate. Don’t forget to talk to parents first about any allergies the children may have to ensure the safety of the kids

4.       Hire a babysitter



Why not get parents to chip in for a babysitter for the kids on your day which will not only work out cheaper for them than hiring specially for each individual child but will ensure that they can enjoy themselves for the whole party!

5.       Have a separate kids room


If it’s within your budget then why not set up a separate kits room as a sort of make-shift crèche so the kids can go make a heinous noise and have their own separate party. Ensure that someone supervises them at all times – see babysitter idea above and make sure blankets etc are provided for when they need to settle down.

So what option will you be going for on your special day? Will you be having kids at your wedding or will you opt not to have the little ones there? Why not get in touch and let us know your opinion on the great debate?
