Kid-Friendly Wedding Tips

I always say it is your wedding and the day of your dreams, and you have chosen to include children at the wedding. This can be risky as babies can cry during the ceremony, children become restless, and often the reception menu does not include foods they will eat. Since caterers require a head count, on which they base their charges including the kids can become costly. In addition sometimes Adults have a hard time enjoying the event as they have to tend to their children.

Here are some times to consider for making you wedding Kid-Friendly:

1-Hire a Babysitter to keep the children.

2-Designate a special room for the children during the ceremony and reception.

3-Offer a children's menu featuring items such as hot dogs, hamburgers, or chicken nuggets.

4- Feed the children in a timely manner.

5-Have a special drink for the children.

6-Incorporate Kid sized tables complete with crayons and coloring books.

7-Provide board games and toys.

8-Hire a face painter, magician, or clown to entertain.

9- Play music they like to hear.

10- Set up a supervised candy bar and provide special bags for taking home the treats.

  1. Brilliant post! Liked your idea of kids-friendly wedding as it will help most of mothers for whom it’s impossible to attend wedding with their kids. I am also invited at wedding that’s at one of Los Angeles event venues. I hope such arrangements will be done there.
