Hi Ladies I have very few kids at my wedding due to space however I do have approx 8 kids and I really do want to try and keep them entertained so the parents can have a good time So far I have had made up activity books and sweets for the ones around 8 yrs old and the babies i have made up goody bags eg rattles so this I hope will keep them entertained whilst at the table. Im assuming the babies will fall asleep later or be taken home so I want to do something for the older ones eg 8 yr olds so here goes Iv heard before of giving them a disposable camera with a list of pictures they need to take and once they have completed the list they hand the camera to chief bridesmaid and she will give them a little prize - below is a list I found of what pics they can take - I will tweak it but this is the idea Your challenge, should you chose to accept it is to take all of the photos on this list, hand the ticked off list in to the best man Paul and you will get a prize! Good luck! Take a photo of…  Someone giving a speech  A pretty lady  Your mum or dad  The youngest person here  The oldest person here  Someone wearing red  The wedding cake  A man with some flowers  Some shoes  One of the bridesmaids  The bride and groom together  Someone sticking their tongue out  Someone clapping  A lady with feathers in her hair  The best dressed person  Some candles  Someone dancing  A cracker  Something beginning with G  Someone having a drink  Someone you are related to but NOT your mum or dad  The tallest person BE HONEST WITH ME IS THIS TAKING IT TOO FAR TRYING TO MANAGE THE KIDS ? SHOULD I DO THIS OR SHOULD I JUST LET THEM GET ON WITH IT Would really appreciate your thoughts Thanks xxxxx

I was also going to do a treasure hunt in my garden for the kids to do- that way they can explore the garden (my mum has 3/4 of an acre to roam about on!) and have fun at the same time! We're also going to have a kids chill out section with cushions and music so they can have their own "space" without feeling seperate xxx

Something like 1. How many tables are there? 2. What colour is the floor in the main hall? 3. How many windows can you see when you stand at x 4. What is the name of the flowers in the bride's bouquet 5. What is the groom's middle name? 6. How many ladies are wearing hats? 7. What is the wedding cake made of? 8. How many different instruments are in the band? 9. What is the name of the chief BM 10. How many people are wearing blue ties? that kind of thing? You could team up a big kid with a little kid? xxx xxx
