A-Z Guide to your Perfect Wedding: Y is for…

YOUNG GUESTS

It’s always a tricky one when planning your guest list – do you invite children or don’t you? There are pro’s and con’s to both but if you do decide to have children present you will also need to think of ways to entertain them during the Wedding Breakfast as let’s face it, speeches and food aren’t very exciting for little people. So how about setting up a special ‘Kids Table’ laden with crayons, colouring books, stickers, bubbles and mini games for them to play with.

Young guests also appreciate ‘favours’ and to make the occasion even more special for them you could give a personalised Wedding Activity Box complete with sweets and fun stuff for them to explore whilst the adults engage in ‘boring’ big people activities.

If you are having Flower Girls and Page Boys it would be a good idea to ask their parents to practice walking down the aisle, carrying the ring pillow or scattering petals, ahead of the big day so they feel more comfortable when it comes to their moment in the spotlight on your big day.
