Weddings are made more special by the appearance of the smallest attendants of the bridal party and children of wedding guests. Keeping children happily entertained and having easy access to kid-friendly food is essential to getting smiles and laughter. We’ve found 3 great ways to make the smallest guests of your wedding happy!
{A Table of Their Own – The Kids’ Table}
Children at a wedding love to have a place to call their own. A great way for their busy, little feet to have a spot to stop and recharge their energy is at their very own kids’ table! Have your wedding designer coordinate an appealing spot with streamers, vibrant floral centerpieces and kid friendly place settings for a special spot for the kiddos to chow down. Consider having a few people from the wait staff for your reception that are good with kids to keep an eye on the area.
{All Fun and Games – Kids’ Entertainment}
Your kids’ table would not be complete without fun and festive entertainment for the little ones. Goody bags at the reception for kids are a great way to keep them entertained. Art supplies and easy to play children’s games are all good ideas to help children enjoy your big day.
{A Menu that Kids Will Love – Tasty Treats & Yummy Eats}
Hungry doesn’t go well with happy for kids, so prepare a menu that will make their taste buds smile! Make sure to have sweet treats from cookies, to child-friendly candy and easy to eat sweets. Do keep in mind potential allergies from nuts to milk allergies (so make sure to label any food with ingredients.) Most kids loves cheese and carbs, therefore consider for their main meal a menu with foods from pizza, chicken tenders, mini-slider hamburgers, petite hot dogs, mac-n-cheese, corn on the cob, to homemade french fries. It’s worth talking to your caterer to make sure they can help with all of this and finding a good one who can do it all will save you a lot of time and effort and keep everyone happy – Catering by Michael is a great example of people who can help, and you can check them out online.
