I just want to know your opinions really.

I just want to know your opinions really.

My son is 6 and there will be the following age children at the wedding; 5, 6, 6, 9, 9, 11 and 11 and we also have 8 younger children (3 and under) who will obviously sit with their parents. (It's just dawned on me just how many children are coming and now I feel a little nervous!! Eek!) So anyway.. I want to set up a little table for them all without a centrepiece and with some activity boxes with their names on (about 5 out of the 7 children know each other) so they can all be together and the adults can have a drink and a chat without their child being bored. I know some of you are having a childrens table. Is it a good idea with the age ranges I have?

Also, for those who are having table-top activities, what are you doing for them?

    Oh yeah we'll be having garden games, lots of stuff to keep them busy! I just wanted more stuff to include in their activity boxes for the table so they have something to do at the table. It'll be in replacement of a wedding favour.

    Ahhh I LOVE the idea of giving them a disposable camera each!!! Also, I think I'll probably tailor the boxes to suit each child as there are only 7 and two of them are my own! And I know them all fairly well Smiley smile Thanks FM! Feel better about having a childrens table now.. people started to make me feel like it was a terrible idea but having asked 3 of the 4 sets of parents, they all seem to think its a wonderful idea. Never been to a wedding with one but I heard about it on here a few months ago.
