3 Ways to Set Up the Best Kids’ Table at Your Wedding Reception

If a fair number of your wedding guests will be bringing children, you may want to consider setting up a designated kids’ table at your wedding reception. Doing so can be a great way to give your youngest wedding guests their own place to sit, dine, and interact with children their own age. As you explore ideas for setting up a kids’ table at your Miami wedding venue, here are some tips to keep in mind.

Keep Them Entertained

Start by researching ideas for fun activities that you can set up at the table to keep children entertained. You might consider, for example, setting out some kid-friendly board games. This is a great way to encourage interaction between children. For younger children, you could also set out some crayons and coloring pages to keep the little ones occupied.

Offer Kid-Friendly Chairs, Tables, and Utensils

Your younger guests will feel more comfortable at your reception if the tables, chairs, and utensils are kid-friendly as well. If your reception venue offers shorter tables and/or chairs for little ones, take advantage. You might also want to look into purchasing kid-friendly cutlery or seeing if your catering company offers this for your kids’ table.

Hire or Designate an Adult Chaperone

Make sure your adult and children guests have an excellent time by hiring or designating an adult chaperone (or several chaperones) to keep an eye on the kids during your reception. You could even hire a full-blown babysitter for the night if it’s in your budget to do so.

A kid-friendly wedding should be fun for everybody involved. With these tips, you can set up the best kids’ table at your reception!
