1. Have a magician or a clown. The adults are getting entertainment, why not the children? This is a great way to keep the children occupied while allowing them to have a fun time as well.
2. Have a special candy/treats table for the children. Include all of your favorite snacks from when you were a child; perhaps gummy bears, fun dip, cotton candy, ice cream sandwiches, etc.
3. Have an arts and crafts table. Include coloring books, play doh, painting stations, sand art -- anything you think that will help the children have a great time.
4. Include them out on the dance floor. Perhaps have a children's dance and invite them out on the floor.
5. If you are having a reception outside, perhaps have a special outdoor area aimed towards the children. You can include jump rope, bubbles, side walk chalk, baseball, kickball, or other outdoor activities they could play.
6. If you are having an indoor reception, it may be a good idea to have a specific room geared for the children. You can talk with the owners to see if they offer any such rooms. Perhaps even consider hiring a babysitter to watch the children while the adults are celebrating at the reception. The room could be equipped with games and toys such as board games, legos, pin the tail on the donkey, etc.
The goal is to make sure both the adults and children are having an equally fun time! And who knows, maybe these ideas will inspire you to bring out the kid in you! ;o)
Happy planning,
Kaitlyn
