Believe it or not, children at weddings could be the most demanding and hardest to deal with guests! We asked wedding planner Helena from RockPaperScissors to share with us a few tips on how to entertain children at a wedding! Take it away Helena!

“When your wedding guest list includes more than 10 children then it is best to really consider planning ahead for this little group. Children do not show interest in details that other guests might focus on such as the wedding cake, the art de la table or the song that the couple is dancing to for the first time as husband and wife”.

“Following are a few ideas and tips on how to entertain your “little guests” and at the same time keep the parents happy! Paying attention to such details ahead of time you will avoid having overtired and cranky children and parents that are in a rush to leave…”

Consider hiring professional help to entertain the children at your wedding

“A three hour program by professional children entertainer such as clowns, caricature artists or a magician may cost you a little more, however the parents will really appreciate every minute!”
