Planning a wedding reception with kids? Whether they’re part of the wedding party or guests’ little ones, including kid-friendly elements can make the celebration more enjoyable for everyone. Happy kids mean happy parents who are likely to stay longer and join in the festivities.
Kid-Friendly Menu: Don’t let hunger lead to early exits! While you may have a fancy menu in mind, remember to include kid-friendly options like buttered noodles, macaroni and cheese, chicken tenders, and fries. Kids love cupcakes, so consider having a cupcake decorating station for a sweet and interactive treat.
Kid-Friendly Favors: Show appreciation to the little ones with kid-friendly favors. Simple treats like bags of candies or cookies, small toys, or games can make a big impression. If you have a seating chart, swap out regular place cards for small coloring books and crayons to keep them entertained.
Kid-Friendly Entertainment: Keep the kids entertained with activities that cater to their interests. Set up game and activity stations with fun kids’ games, coloring books, and crayons. Another option is hiring a babysitter or kids’ concierge to organize engaging activities, ensuring the children have a blast while their parents enjoy the celebration.
Host a Scavenger Hunt
Allow the kids to discover all of the highlights of your wedding day. Set up a scavenger hunt and include things like the cake, flowers, and people on the dance floor on a card. Pair the card with an instant or disposable camera and let them play photographer. They’ll have so much fun roaming the reception to spot each item on the list!
Remember, kids can add a delightful touch to your special day. By incorporating these kid-friendly ideas, you’ll ensure that they have as much fun as the adult guests, making your wedding reception a joyous event for everyone.
