Having children present at your wedding is a personal
decision. Some couples love having their youngest family members help them
celebrate their special day, while others prefer to keep the event adult-only.
But if you do invite kids, make sure you keep them in mind as you plan.
Have a kid-friendly program made up. It doesn’t have to be
anything fancy, but for kids younger than 10, coloring pages and a small pack
of crayons will keep them busy during the “sitting still and waiting around”
times.
Little ones probably won’t be interested in fancy meals. Here
at the Heritage, we offer kids’ meals at a reduced rate. Make sure your
invitations include the children’s meals – and the ages they are designed for.
Talk to your DJ or band ahead of time. Kids love to get up
and dance, so make sure they’ve got some kid-friendly music at the beginning of
the night to jam to!
If you know you’ll have a lot of children at the reception, set
aside a kids’ fun table. Have a portable DVD player with some popular kids’
movies playing, coloring books, or even kid-friendly crafts set up.
Setting up room blocks for your guests means moms and dads can
stay a little longer and just put the kids to bed upstairs without having to
pack them up for a drive home.
Whatever you do, a little planning ahead of time can help
your littlest guests enjoy their time with you!
