would you guys suggest doing a table for say any kids over the age of 5 and under 18?

Hi Cristiana,

Fabulous question :)

Between the age of 5 and 17 are three different development groups. 5-10, 11-13, and 14-17. Something to consider if having a table for kids. The older group may feel they are being placed as babysitters and the younger ones may bully the older haha!

Most children will tend to gravitate to each other at functions to play. More so if they already know each other. If you have children attending, sometimes this can make for a long event for them. Especially if their parents attend both the ceremony and reception.  

A great way to manage a childrens table is providing activities for the kids. This does not need to be anything to grand. It's more about the presentation again nothing to grand just obvious its for kids. Offering a few games or colouring books and pens ect. Of course activities would be related to age you mentioned.  A fun station for kids is a great way of making them feel part of your special day. Also giving them something fun to do and remember. Their parents will also get to relax a little more.

Another option would be to have children seated with parents during meals and have the fun station/table as entertainment before and after reception formalities. 

Your guest will most likely mingle more so after this time aswell.

Parents tend to keep an eye on what their children are doing, however supervision should be considered. Perhaps let your guest that will be attending with their children know you are thinking about special options for the children. Suggestion of a rotating roster between the parents or if your budget allows see if you can get someone to take on the role. 

Reading that may sound like a lot. So! here is what you do delegate this task to your matron of honour. If she is busy keeping you chilled and calm, get her to delegate to a bridesmaid. 

Kind regards,

Cynthia

Hi Cristiana!

That can be done certainly it depends on what you want to achieve on that day. If you think you and possibly your guests will be able to handle the kids possibly playing around that should be fine. If doing a table it's best there should be an adult amongst them.
