What are some wedding entertainment ideas for kids?

Short answer

For kids at a wedding, set up a craft table, a quiet corner with books and toys, lawn games, a kids' dance area, and simple activities like colouring or a scavenger hunt.

Kids need their own fun, and a little planning goes a long way. A craft table with colouring sheets, stickers, crayons and simple make-and-take projects keeps little hands busy. Add a quiet corner with cushions, picture books and soft toys for children who need a break from the noise.

Outdoor games like giant bubbles, a beanbag toss or a mini obstacle course work well if you have space. A scavenger hunt is a great way to keep older kids entertained, with a simple list of things to find around the venue. You could also set up a kids' dance area with their favourite songs, or hand out glow sticks for the evening.

Think about timing too. A kids' table at dinner with activity packs and crayons helps them stay calm. If you have the budget, you could hire a children's entertainer, but many parents are happy to help organise simple games. Always check your venue's safety rules and make sure there is adult supervision. The goal is to let parents enjoy the day while children feel included and happy.
