Ideas for Keeping Children Entertained at Your Wedding

If you choose to invite the children of your family and friends to your wedding, help take some of the load off their parents. Keep the children entertained with various party supplies and games that may also give your adult invitees something to do. Let’s look at some great ideas to entertain the children attending your wedding.

Rent Various Games

Certain party rentals and birthday games do not have to be used only at birthday parties and outdoor barbecues. There are many games that can be rented or bought to entertain the children who attend your wedding . Carnival games, like bean toss and pin the tail on the donkey, are popular games even some adults might enjoy. You can also bring simple and transportable games like board games or playing cards.

Consider a Bouncy House

If your wedding is located outside, consider renting a bouncy house or area that can be set up nearby. Bouncy houses are enjoyable to children and adults alike, so consider making adult-participation optional. It is courteous to inform your guests of this active entertainment ahead of time; parents may prefer to dress their children in something more appropriate for jumping and bouncing.

Create a Scavenger Hunt

Children love scavenger and treasure hunts, so take some extra time to create a scavenger hunt for your younger guests. Depending on how many children are coming, and their ages, the hunt can be for individuals or for teams. Instead of requiring the children to get a physical item, make the scavenging list about finding people with specific traits and answers—such as a guest with blue eyes or a guest who has known the bride for a certain number of years.
