Amused and happy Children plus relaxed parents equal a joyful atmosphere for everyone at a family Wedding. Here are some ideas that will help you and your youngest guests enjoy the day.

1. Go through your guest list and make a note of the age of each child under 10 yrs attending – this will help you plan some age appropriate fidget-busting activities.

2. Prepare gift bags or boxes for the ushers to hand to the children as they enter the wedding venue. These could contain stickers, crayons, colouring books, a small handheld game or puzzle (non-noisy) and/or a little beany toy.

3. Make children feel welcome at the wedding reception by providing a special ‘favour’ box or bag at their place setting. This could include fruit, soft jelly sweets or a small toy or activity.

4. When the dancing begins – ask the DJ or band to play a couple of songs the children will know.

5. Plan an activity table at the reception where children can go to colour some wedding themed pictures or make and create something. Making a creature or piece of jewellery out of wire and beads is an absorbing and non-messy creative activity.

6. If the budget allows, hire a children’s entertainer to amuse the young ones in another room while the speeches are taking place or to break up the day for them.

7. Give each child a disposable camera and collect them later. There are sure to be some hilarious and fun photos for your informal wedding album.

8. See if it’s possible to arrange a ‘quiet room’ close to where your reception is held, where parents can take their children – especially very young ones, for a nap or a change of scene.

9. Enlist the help of an outside children’s activity provider to keep the youngsters amused during the day
