Tips for Having Children at Your Wedding A Success - Boise Wedding DJ - Sound Wave Music

09/14/2010

Planning a wedding is such a wonderful experience! One of the fun parts of a wedding reception is having all your friends and family together to celebrate....including all the kiddos. Have you had concerns about having children at your wedding? No worries! We have some tips that we have collected from our experiences at weddings and from other experts in the wedding business. These tips are sure to help ease your mind about how to keep the little ones entertained during your big day.

Have Someone in Charge of Kids with Games and Activities Prepared - Sometimes there will be a special room set aside for the kids to play and maybe even having a movie playing. The key to success with tip is to have a person dedicated to caring for the little ones. This will minimize stress for you and for parents so everyone can enjoy your ceremony and reception.
Have a Children's Menu with Kid Friendly Foods - Kids like food they recognize. Try chicken strips, sandwiches cut into triangles or cut into shapes with cookie cutters, pre-cut fruit, go-gurt, fruit snacks, cupcakes, etc. Your Boise caterer can help with this!
Have snacks for the kids available throughout the evening. This is CRITICAL. Kids usually eat more frequently than adults and having snacks can help the children stay happy all evening.
Have the Kid's Dinner Table Covered with Paper so they can color and draw while they are waiting for their meal and afterward throughout the evening. You could even provide children with coloring books/crayons of their own or printed color sheets.
Teddy Bear Toss or Special Dance for the Kids - at a couple of our Boise weddings this summer we had brides do a special dance with the kids and then toss a teddy bear or other stuffed animal for the kids to catch. They also had other smaller toys/treats for ALL of the children so no one felt left out. This was so fun for all the kids and was a huge success.

Hope some of these ideas help you plan a wonderful wedding. What other ideas do you have? We would love to hear them and pass them on to other Boise brides. Congratulations on your wedding!

What People are Saying:

"Adam was fun, professional and just a perfect pick for my daughter's
wedding. My wife and daughter came home from the wedding fair and were certain they had found the right company in Sound Wave Music, after meeting Adam and Kristin, they were right! The entire evening went smoothly, we loved the music and the timely announcements kept everything on schedule. Adam kept the dance floor full and we literally had guests from 2 to 95 on the floor at different times, all enjoying themselves.
Sound Wave really is a "one call" solution for professional music and
a fun evening." - Mark

"Sound Wave Music is the BEST.‎ Kristin, Adam, and the team at Sound Wave did our wedding in March and we highly recommend you book them for your next event.
