Children can be a delightful addition to weddings. They can also be easily bored, disinterested in fancy adult food, and in need of some fun during a long wedding reception. These ideas for gift bags for children at weddings will help to keep your smallest guests entertained and happy all evening.
Do you remember going to formal adult parties or fancy restaurants with your parents when you were a child? After a while, even the most angelic child loses patience with sitting still and adult conversation. This is why welcoming the youngest guests to your wedding with a bag full of child-sized treats is such a good idea. They may end up having such a great time at your wedding that they will never want the party to end!
For outdoor weddings, there are a number of wonderful ideas for items to include in the welcome bags for the kids. A really neat idea is to let the children have their very own picnic on the grass rather than having to sit still at a fancy table during a lengthy dinner. A few willing older guests, like teenage cousins can be assigned to "picnic duty" to ensure that all goes well. Pack the gift bags with a picnic theme. Include portable foods and drinks like juice boxes and tiny sandwiches. A cute idea would be to include a sticker book with butterfly stickers for the girls and bug stickers for the little boys. Jars of bubbles to blow will help young guests to while away the hours. And if your reception is going to run into the evening hours, include a small plastic jar with a perforated lid for catching fireflies. The children will forget to be bored at all.
Indoor weddings also offer plenty of fun ideas for the childrens' gift bags. Plan on activities which are practical to do when sitting at the dinner table. A package of washable crayons and a coloring book is always a hit with kids. There are some very adorable coloring books with wedding themes available; they are designed as flower girl gifts, but work equally well for gift bags. (Just plan on getting a different gifts for your flower girl, like jewelry.) Sticker books are also a great inclusion. If you know the interests of the particular children invited to your wedding, tailor the stickers to their current obsessions. Otherwise, opt for perennial favorites like trains, princesses, or animals.
A small gift that will delight your little guests are disposable cameras of their very own. Make sure that each one is labeled with the name of the young photographer, so that you can send copies after the wedding. It is such a thrill for kids to receive mail; a card from the newlyweds thanking them for coming to their wedding with copies of the photos the child took would be sure to make their day.
One thing that should definitely be included in the welcome gift bags for the children at your wedding is snacks. The time spent sitting at the table waiting for dinner to arrive can seem interminable to a young child. Help the time pass more pleasantly with small packages of Goldfish crackers and Cheerios for munching. Also consider the ages of the children at your wedding when planning their gift bags. While preschoolers will be content with coloring books and stickers, pre-teens might like something a bit more social like a book of Mad-Libs or a travel checkers game. The time you put into making sure that all of the children at your wedding are occupied and happy will be time well spent!
