Keeping Kids Entertained

[ImInStealthMode]

Due to childcare issues we've suddenly got 6 kids (possibly 8) coming to our wedding next week. Not a problem for us at all, the more the merrier, but I'd like to get them each something to keep them entertained through the boring bits. The age range is 3-11.

Any suggestions for not too expensive things or activities I could pick up to make them feel welcomed and happy on the day?

For the little ones a pot of bubbles, a few balloons.

For the slightly older ones - some disposable cameras and a "lucky dip" of challenges - take a photo of the best hat; 6 people smiling, two people dancing, someone eating cake, the prettiest dress, the loudest guest, someone doing a handstand, etc

Disposable camera challenge is an amazing shout!

Oh I love that idea!

Depends what they like, mine are in that age range and love colouring in, colouring books and pencils (don't get felt tips 🙈) are cheap 😁

Thanks all. There's a bit of an animal theme to our venue so I've got them animal themed activity books and pencils for the older ones, an animal colouring book and crayons for the 3 year old that's now also coming, and 'that's not my lemur' for her 1 year old sister. Hopefully enough to keep them amused (there's space outside for them to run about too, and a play area on site).

Our venue threw in a bouncy castle!
