Wedding Reception: We Want to Make It Fun for Our Young Guests!

Are there brides who will have many young guests from preschool to elementary school at their wedding reception?

Instead of infants being held by their mothers, we want to prepare something special for the children who attend as little adults.

In Japan, it's common to prepare picture books and coloring pages for young guests.

This can help keep them engaged during adult speeches and videos.

However, overseas weddings often feature bolder and more fun offerings for young guests!♡

In Overseas Weddings, They Set Up a 【KIDS TABLE】♡

At overseas weddings, the bride and groom prepare something special for their young guests...

That is, a special guest table for children known as the "Kids Table" ♩

Unlike tables for adults, this table gathers only children together. It seems to be intended for children around preschool to elementary school age who can make their own decisions.

When incorporating this in Japan, you could either arrange a seating plan with just young guests from the beginning or set up a free seating kids table in the corner of the reception venue.

It must be boring to just sit silently and listen to the adult conversations while they drink!

Wouldn't it be better if the kids could enjoy chatting with each other?

The Kids Table fulfills this wish for young guests.

There are so many fun ideas that will make the children happy!♡

Idea 1 for the Kids Table: A Drawing Pad Tablecloth

Instead of a regular tablecloth, the Kids Table is covered with kraft paper. They can freely doodle on the table with the plenty of crayons and colored pencils provided ♩

Idea 2 for the Kids Table: Provide LEGO Blocks

LEGO blocks are fun for both boys and girls! The blocks can be placed in glass containers, decorated like floral arrangements on the guest tables.

The colorful, exciting LEGO blocks are sure to capture the hearts of young guests!♡

Idea 3 for the Kids Table: Provide Instant Cameras

Give each child a disposable camera. They can act as little photographers during the reception ♩

The children will be enthusiastic about their assigned task! They may eagerly ask, "What’s next on the program?"

Idea 4 for the Kids Table: Lollipops as Decoration

For young guests, candy is definitely more appealing than beautiful flowers! Instead of using flowers to decorate the Kids Table, candy and chocolates are recommended.♡

It will feel like a dreamland for the kids! They might say, "I don't want to go home."

Idea 5 for the Kids Table: Prepare Gift Boxes

A fun idea is to prepare gifts in colorful boxes for each child. The contents can include candy, toys, props, etc.

If you choose gifts that children will be delighted with, they will likely have a great time playing at the Kids Table throughout the reception.

Idea 6 for the Kids Table: Drawing Space

If it’s a garden wedding, it might be fun to set up a bold drawing space!

Let them freely draw on a large canvas.

However, it’s important to ensure that the children wear clothes that can get dirty, and to remind them to bring a change of clothes.◎

Don’t forget to hand out aprons too!＊
