No More Boredom: A Collection of Kid-Friendly Spaces Set Up in Wedding Reception Venues

Let's Create a Place for Kids to Play*
Many brides invite kid guests such as nieces, nephews, or friends' children to their weddings.*
It's really exciting to meet those cute little angels who come dressed up to say "Congratulations"!♡
However, it can be quite challenging for children to stay quietly in one place for long periods like adults do.
It's common for them to get bored or start crying during the reception.
When that happens, the parents accompanying them might feel the need to step outside to avoid disturbing others, which prevents them from fully enjoying the reception...!
While it's unavoidable, I think the couple's true wish is for both adults and children to enjoy their wedding together.♡
Therefore, some brides set up a 'Kids Space' in the reception venue (toward the back) for children.*
What kind of Kids Space should we prepare?
If there’s a Kids Space in the reception venue, children can play happily without getting bored within the adults' sight, allowing parents with kids to enjoy the reception without having to leave, which is a win-win!♡
You’re sure to hear guests say, "It’s amazing that you prepared a Kids Space!" and "This really helped!"*
Let me introduce some actual Kids Spaces that former brides have prepared!*
A Happy Space for Moms and Kids①
First, I’d like to introduce a Kids Space with joint mats laid on the hard floor of the reception venue, featuring stuffed animals and picture books.♡
This way, it’s okay if kids lick the floor or stumble!
Using pastel colors will create an adorable space that complements the wedding atmosphere without compromising it.*
A Happy Space for Moms and Kids②
Here’s a colorful Kids Space with a small pool filled with balloons!*
They set up a computer and a DVD at the table, allowing kids to watch various animations.♡
Most kids love both balloons and videos, so it's a safe bet!*
A Happy Space for Moms and Kids③
A wonderful Kids Space was created with a foldable table from Muji, covered in butcher paper, allowing kids to draw freely all over it.*
Many kids enjoy drawing, so they will surely have fun creating art on the entire sheet of paper!♡

Finally, I’d like to introduce a Kids Space with a mini tent placed next to the photo booth.*
It was decorated with fairy lights to make it cute!♡
Kids would definitely enjoy going inside, saying, "It feels like a secret base!"♩
It may become a Kids Space that will make them say, "I want to come back tomorrow!"♡
By preparing a Kids Space at your wedding, not only will the children enjoy themselves, but the parents will also feel touched by the "wonderful hospitality" and appreciate your thoughtfulness.♡
Brides inviting kid guests should definitely consider setting up a Kids Space!*
