1. A colouring book and crayons
These can double as favours for the little ones, and keep them busy while the adults are mingling around.

2. A kids-only table
Relieve your family and friends of babysitting duty and have their children designated area with toys such as colouring material, hula hoops, board games and Lego bricks.

3. An activity kit
If you don’t have that many children at the wedding, or you’ve got the budget, put together a kit or a box of items, you think the children may like. You can consider items like crayons, coloured markers, colouring book or paper, flags, a conical hat, sweets and so on.

4. Hang a pinata
We mentioned previously that pinatas may not be such a good idea at your wedding, but they can be a good source of entertainment for your little ones.

5. Kids-only stage activities
Let the kids have fun in the limelight, too. Once you’re done with your first dance, as well as dances with your parents, invite them onto the dancefloor with a few of their favourite tunes before the adults have their turn.

6. A bouncy castle
If you’re having an outdoor wedding, a bouncy castle or playground’s a great idea to keep them occupied, and let them expand their energies.
