    Is anyone wanting to keep the kids happy while all the 'boring adult' stuff is going on??

    Just come across this little activity book that looks brill for kids at the reception while all the speeches and things are going one.

    Depends on your budget as for us there too pricey but you might be able to get them cheaper elsewhere :)

    Will post the link on your wall if your interested :)

    Shell i looked at the activity packs and figured i could make something similar for our kids with print off's from the pc got a slightly more daunting task tho, as all the kids who will be at our wedding range from 12 months to 14 years eeek! lol

    Im quite lucky tho our venue has given us an adjoining room to "throw" all the kids into if needs be, im gonna laden it with paper and washable pens etc maybe my wii (if i feel generous enough on the day hehe) and im not too sure what else, maybe some board games but hopefully it will be enough to keep them amused during the speeches etc

    Our toastmaster had a top tip to not give ANYTHING to the kids before the wedding breakfast, as it will distract them from eating etc. Wait until after the food, then whip them out to keep them quiet for the speeches!

    Iv found a company that does little boxes in bout 7 colours! They do 2 diff sizes 2, so a cheaper and a more expensive box! Its great, its got colouring things, toys, a wee doll or pony in the girls and i cant remember what was in the boys! Hehe! But there was a whole range of things in all the boxes! I love it! I shall put the name of it on my page!
