New Hospitality for Child Guests ♡

To ensure child guests enjoy the wedding, it's common to prepare:

✅ Toys and snacks

✅ (Handing out instant cameras) Kid photographers

However, some people also prepare a “stamp rally,” which I thought was a really fun and wonderful idea that kids would definitely enjoy! ♡ Let me introduce it!

How to Run a Stamp Rally

🔸 Things to Prepare

➀ A stamp rally sheet

② Sticker paper (It's better to use stickers instead of stamps to avoid messiness♡)

③ Instruction sheet

It seems that the stamp rally is often given to the reception staff or placed at the children’s or their parents' guest tables.

When the kids successfully accomplish a task, their moms or dads can put the stickers on for them. *

Examples of tasks:

“Let’s make a toast”

“Let’s eat cake”

Including tasks related to the wedding program or food will keep the kids entertained until the end of the wedding ceremony! ♡

Bride Who Held a Stamp Rally ➀

Maaya, who held her wedding at Barn & Forest in Chiba (@barn_may0608), prepared a stamp rally for kids! ♡

She gave it to children aged 1.5 to preschool who had a kids' lunch prepared for them. *

<Tasks>

✅ Let’s stick shells together with your family

✅ Were you able to take a photo with Aki-chan (the groom) and Maaya-chan (the bride)?

✅ Can you make a toast loudly?

✅ Did you eat a lot of both food and desserts?

✅ Did you get to play nicely with everyone in the garden?

<Paper for Parents>

We prepared a stamp rally so that the cute kids could enjoy themselves a little bit!

Please put a sticker on for the things written on the stamp rally once they are completed!♪

There are no specific rules, so I leave it up to the moms! (laughs)

I would be happy if you could enjoy it together! ★

It seems that they kindly asked the reception staff to hand out the stamp rally at the reception.*

It was nicely organized into compact character ziplock bags that could fit in a bag! ♡

A Stamp Rally that Keeps Child Guests Engaged ♡

The “stamp rally” prepared for the children attending the wedding *

is filled with ideas that allow them to enjoy the wedding from start to finish, and surely child guests will be eager to participate in all the missions! ♡

I think it would be a hit to ask beforehand about their favorite characters and design the stickers to reflect those characters!

➡ There are more ideas! Here’s a list of articles about hospitality for child guests. ♡
