How to Keep Kids Entertained at a Wedding

There’s nothing more beautiful than coming together and celebrating your wedding day with your family and friends. Kids attending your wedding bring an energy of love, joy, and excitement. However, the excitement can quickly lead to hungry, exhausted, and restless children. Here are some tips to keep those bundles of joy entertained on your big day!

Goodie Bags for Kids

There was nothing more exciting than when you were at an event as a kid, and you received a goodie bag! You can include anything from colouring books, crayons, candy, small toys, and puzzles.

Creative Station

Depending on your venue, having a creative station for kids will surely keep them occupied and having fun. They could either sit at the station or bring items back to their table with their parents. The table can have pre-packaged arts and crafts, colouring books, colouring sheets, small activity boxes, and a small piñata.

Food/Snacks approved for Kids

Kids have high energy which makes it so important to keep refuelling them throughout your big day. A full belly is a happy kid! Some kid friendly food options you can serve are mac and cheese bites, French fries, chicken fingers, cheeseburger sliders, and much more! Remember to think mini and easy to eat for kids.

Photobooth

A photobooth is perfect for all ages and will keep your guests entertained throughout your event. Fun props, masks, and silly glasses for kids will create some wonderful memories. Some great photobooth companies in Ottawa include MDRN photobooth and LexiBooth.
