What should go in a kids' wedding activity pack?

A good activity pack should be lightweight and easy to carry. Start with a small bag or box that the child can hold or place on their lap. Keep the contents simple so nothing gets lost easily.

Colouring sheets with a wedding theme are a classic choice. Include a few crayons or felt tips, plus a small notepad. Stickers and a mini puzzle book work well for quieter moments during the ceremony and meal.

Add practical items too. A refillable water bottle is useful, especially in summer. A small snack, if the parents agree, can prevent hunger-driven fussiness. Include a card with the parents' phone number and the venue address in case anyone gets separated.

Personalise the pack with the child's name on a badge or bag tag. This helps staff and volunteers find them if needed. Avoid small parts for very young children, and check with parents about any allergies to materials like glue or certain plastics.
