RECEPTION Little Guests 2041 views
We all know that keeping your little guests happy is essential: the UK Alliance of Wedding Planners tell us how...
1. The experts at Designer Wedding Days say: the day can seem long and boring for little ones and this could ultimately lead to them being disruptive. Think about the different elements of the day and arrange things to keep them occupied. To cater for them the entire day you could hire crèche facilities like Artfull Splodgers or smaller elements could include paper table cloths with crayons so that they can draw and colour during the dinner, edible table centres like strawberry trees, goody bags and entertaining favours.
2. Little people often need a distraction at a wedding, say Dimplesevents, and will find the speeches a long time to sit still and be quiet. Why not ask a responsible young adult to use this moment during your wedding to take the children off on an “adventure”. You could draw up a little treasure hunt or plan some party games such as musical statues and pass the parcel, which always go down a treat and will take just enough time for the speeches to be finished!
3. Make the kids feel special with their own area by maybe setting up a special kids' room if the venue can cater for one or think of having a specially decorated children’s table and plan a children’s menu, suggest Lancashire Wedding Planners.
