Is anyone having Entertainment

Hi King we are in the same boat we are having about 15-20 kids raging from 12months to 16 we doing a similer type of thing during the meal as the kids not going to sit all the way through the meal. We still looking for the drinks receptionbut we may have a play table set up in corner of room with non messy toys for them to play with also may have this during ceromony nothing worse that trying to keep kids quiet that get louder but if you let them play and keep and eye on them the be quiet,

if i find any other ideas will share, also are you doing kids bags on table something elese to amise them,

Yes we are going to do activity pack on tables etc and they have a kids corner in church which is good, Trying to think of things that the can keep the kids amused so parents can also relax, I like the activity area and we could def do that at our venue Thanks x

Haha!! We're probably going have have big versions of games like jenga.........and we only have three children coming.....its mostly for our adult guests! lol!

Hi! Yep we have nearly 20 kids coming of all different ages so we're having lawn games and a bouncy castle (May wedding so can get away with it). As a bad weather contingency plan, I'd definitely go for something like a balloon modeller though - great idea!

I think its a great idea. We are having 11 children. We are having box of toys (quiet toys) inclusing colouring stuff etc. Also on the tables we are having activity/goody bay. looking a little like this

I think you can prepare some toys in advenace. Of course most of children like toys. If they concentrate on the toys, the adults can enjoy themselves.

As a DJ....I often do early evening kids entertainment such as games, dances and balloon modelling....usually in the lull between the end of the meal and start of the evening disco.

Surprisingly....there's quite a lot of us that do! I was talking to a guy based in Norfolk and he actually offers a magic show for the kids just before the disco. I know of many others that will get the kids together and do some daft games with them (my friend in Staffs area does). Try asking your DJ if they could do something like this. Most offer it as part of the service, but even if they charge an extra fee, it would still be more cost effective than getting another supplier in.

Its more before the meal and during I want to keep kids occupied so def going to get the activity packs maybe a quiet actvity area with books and puzzles and I have Booked my balloon modeller / magician When I worked with him prev he did tricks which I still could not work out he took my ring in his hand then got out wallett from his pocket opened it and my ring was zipped in there it was fab so hoping that will keep adults amused as well as kids before the meal!! ?
