Hi all,
We have around 25 children aged 2-8 coming to our wedding, and a further 10 aged 8-12. Originally we'd thought of having a children's party in an adjoining room for a couple of hours whilst adults ate, providing entertainer and nanny/s. However, the venue we've finally decided on doesn't have a room big enough so the plan now is as follows:
Have a separate table for children aged 2-8 (in same room as adults), with a number of adult CRB-checked supervisors (girls from my childrens' nursery). We'll cater separately for children (we're having an indian buffet so think it's safer to offer children's pary food for our younger guests).
To keep the children occupied we're goingto plan a treasure hunt in the garden, plus have activity bags. But what should we put in them? I was thinking of having age and gender specific (i.e. boy/girl bag for 2-4, and girl/boy bag for 5-8). Also, I thought it might be nice to give something like a disposable camera to the 8-12 year olds? Is this a good idea? Worth it? There are 10 of them so ti'll be a bit overkill pic-wise, but might be nice for them? Any other ideas?
Children 0-2 will be provided with highchairs and seated with their parents, and children over 8yrs will also be seated with the adults.
We want it to be a family day enjoyed by all so want to make sure we're considering the children, plus enabling parents to have a couple of hours of grown-up time, too.
Thank you in advance xx
