We're inviting quite a few kids to our wedding and I want to give them favours that will keep them entertained during the speeches and meal. There's quite a range of ages coming and as we don't have kids yet I'm not totally clued up on what kids of different ages would like or should have. I don't want to cause any upset by giving an older child something "babyish", or giving a toddler something they could choke on...
Here are my thoughts so far - please tell me if they're not appropriate!
Babies under 1 - I know they won't understand or care, but I don't want to leave them out. I saw a suggestion of cheap personalised bibs which I thought was quite cute?
Kids aged 1-3 - is a colouring book and crayons ok for the little ones? Also thought of a giving them each a couple of finger puppets.
Kids aged 4-6 - I thought an activity book with some puzzles and things, plus a small (quiet!) toy - maybe those stretchy yellow men or mini slinkies.
We also have a 10 year old and a 12 year old - the 10yo would probably be happy with the activity book and toy, but the 12yo as an almost-teenage girl might not want to be lumped in with the kids. Any ideas?
I'll also include a couple of small sweets (I thought lollies might be helpful to keep them quiet during the speeches!). We'll be giving out bubbles after the ceremony so hopefully that will keep them entertained while we're doing the photos.
Would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions!
