Weddingbee boards

I let guests know via our website that there would be a kids table with activity packs. I'd imagine some kids will sit there but some of the younger ones will probably end up taking their pack and sit with the parents. I wouldn't really stress about notifying parents, I'm sure they will figure it out when they get there.

We are doing a kids table that will have a cupcake tower, candy dishes and activity packets that we put together. I made custom coloring books for kids that has word searches, mazes along with coloring pages. I got a bunch of stuff from www.orientaltrading.com in the wedding and games sections. There is also plastic badges included, since both of us are in law enforcement, and bubble gum rolls in a crime scene tape container. We also got glow in the dark bracelets from www.save-on-crafts.com, 50 for $9.

Here is a pic of some of the stuff in the kids packs.

At that age, I think they'll be fine at a table by themselves.  However, depending on how big your wedding is, it might be a little hairy for a parent to be sitting 200 people away from their kid.

Either assign an older teenager or hire a sitter to watch over the kids table, or place the table somewhere very visible within line-of-sight of at least a few responsible people.

I think it's best to just ask.  I wanted to do the same thing at my wedding, but was told that some kids would be more comfortable with their parents, rather than with other kids they don't really know.   So I ended up not doing it.
