"Activity bags" for children at weddings

Hi all

Getting married in 2 months and realised we have quite a few kids attending between age 1 - 12 so I want to put together some sort of activity/ fun bag for them to use during the meal maybe. So they're kept entertained during the speeches etc.

The question is .. what should I put in them 🙈
Any ideas? And would a 10-12 yo be interested in one? Would feel mean to leave them out without a bag 🙈

TIA xxxx

I gave my nephews little cameras which made instant pictures, extra film and a posh notebook to stick them in and they spent the day making photo albums. It kept them busy and they had a souvenir to take home.

Depending on the number of children and how much you want to spend you could get branded pencils with 'Lune and X' with the date.

My mum did little plastic milk bottles filled with colouring pencils, puzzle sheets, stickers, a few sweets etc. Not sure what exactly!

We put bubbles, pencils, an age appropriate activity book, glow sticks, a disposable camera and photo treasure hunt, and a couple of those little puzzles (the ball and the maze, the sliding tiles) from Amazon

Ooh this is brilliant 👏

It will just our 4 and 2 young cousins needing entertained and our venue has its own private lobby area so thinking on a teepee type tent idea with bits n bobs to do if its all a bit much in the reception room. The disposable camera idea is genius though. Along with the activity list.
