I gave each child their own seat with their parents. Some were babies in stollers but I still made a place card for them.
I would give the kids their own name card/chinese container.
We have a very similar situation with a lot of children attending our reception. I think that we will end up giving a seat to each child who's old enough to sit in one (that is, around age 2 and up). I think that's what will end up being the most comfortable for everyone, even though it does mean a lot of seats!
As for the name cards/favors, that sounds like a really cute idea. I think, if it's in your budget, that the kids would love to have their own. For the kids whose names you don't know, maybe you could write something like "The [FI's Cousin] and [Girlfriend family]" on 8 different cards (for the 6 kids and 2 adults). That way it's clear that they each have their own seat, the kids are happy because they get their own favor, and you don't have to figure out all their names.
Stillme, thank you for that suggestion! I think that is a great idea!

I am wondering how brides and their grooms went about seating arrangements for kids, when the kids were to be seated with their parents and not at a separate "kids" table. In my case, we have 5 children between the ages of 2-5 to be sat with their parents all at the same table (the children are cousins). Does each child get their own seat?
Additionally, we have 6 more children attending, of whom I do not know their ages or names. I would guess they are between the ages of infant to young toddler. They have the same mother (the mother is dating my FI's cousin-if that explains my ignorance of their names and ages) Do I give each one of them a seat? Of course, the obvious thing to do would be to ask FI's cousin, but it was like pulling teeth just to get their address (which ended up being wrong, anyway!) and it's a "delicate" situation to bring up the kids at all because only 2 of them are FI's cousin's and well.....family drama and all that.
And lastly, another part I'm curious about is the "name cards" for seating arrangments. In our case, we are having a candy buffet and each name card will be a chinese take out container to serve as name card and container for the favor. Should the kids get their own? Each adult is getting their own, I just don't know what to do about the children.....??
