Kids at the Wedding?
Yes, of Course! How to Keep Little Guests Happy & Entertained
Weddings are a celebration of love, family, and togetherness — and that includes the little ones! Whether you’re planning an intimate island ceremony or a grand destination wedding on Brač island, including children in your special day can add joy, laughter, and unforgettable moments. But to make sure everyone (big and small) has a great time, a little planning goes a long way.
Here are our top tips for managing kids at weddings, plus ideas for fun activities that will keep them smiling all day long
1. Create a Kid-Friendly Space
A designated area just for kids can make all the difference. Think of it as a little retreat where they can relax, play, and be themselves.
- A small tent or shaded corner with rugs and pillows
- Tables with coloring books, puzzles, and crafts
- Soft toys, bubbles, and quiet games
This also gives parents peace of mind — and more time to enjoy the party!
2. Kid-Friendly Food = Happy Bellies
Keep the menu simple and fun for young palates. Mini pizzas, sliders, fresh fruit cups, and sweet treats are always a hit. You could even set up a small kids’ buffet table or a “build your own” food station with mini burgers or tacos.
Pro tip: Don’t forget juice boxes or mocktails so they feel included in the toasts!
3. Plan Simple Entertainment
Children don’t need anything fancy — just a bit of magic and fun! Depending on your wedding style and location, you can consider:
- A professional babysitter or nanny service for supervision
- A kids’ entertainer (magician, puppeteer, face painter)
- Outdoor games like sack races, ring toss, or a scavenger hunt
- A small movie corner with bean bags and a screen during the evening party
4. Prepare Little Survival Kits
A small welcome bag for each child can be both thoughtful and useful. You can include: Crayons and coloring pages, stickers, snacks, a small toy, earplugs or headphones for sensitive ears during music
It’s a lovely gesture that makes them feel special from the very start.
5. Involve Them in the Celebration
Children love being included in meaningful ways:
- Flower girls and ring bearers
- Helping hand out confetti
- Participating in a dance or song
- Reading a short poem during the ceremony
These moments not only make kids feel important but also add a heartfelt, sweet touch to your day.
Kids bring life, laughter, and spontaneity to weddings — and we wouldn’t have it any other way. With just a bit of thoughtful planning, you can create an atmosphere that’s joyful and relaxed for everyone.
