We are thinking of having activity bags for the children so they don't get board, has anyone done these before and if so what did you put in them?
Colouring books
I had a few kids at mine i went on amazon and ordered them pre-packed they weren't rhat expensive either and there was plenty in them kids loved them xx
I brought mine off amazon, £1.98 for 4 packs. Saved a fortune instead of buying everything to go in them separately
F
I bought these x
I made mine I did a personalised colouring book love heart crayons bubbles and some other stuff I can't remember x
I made party style bags with bubble wands, snap cards, a jewellery making item, colouring and sticker books with crayons and a sweet!
I thought of doing these, the only thing that puts me off, is dim lighting cause of disco & walls being coloured on. Our weddings late afternoon, & not all parents watch there children as much as rest of us... Lol..
I have 4 of those Amazon packs left over if anyone wants them?
we had a few but all what was in them was a small colouring book and some crayons so we had a corner set up with toys
We did this, in ours we put pencils little colouring books, bubbles balloons, made wedding word-searches & crossword puzzles and a few sweets
Thanks lady's that's been very helpful. I will take a look on amazon.
We have so many children as all of your brothers and sisters and children.
Search for Hayley's party treats. I got her to do favours for adults and children. She does age appropriate ones and they look great x
I made some for my mums vow renewal for the older kids 4-9 I put some activity books with pens , a Reading book, bubbles, a wee tote bag that you colour in, and a sweetie cone (made myself) the younger ones 10months -18months I put a plastic bib, a sweetie cone (chocolate buttons and mini kinder bars) ducks for the bath, a musical instrument and a wee phone as 3 of bags wer for my kids I went for stuff I knew they would all like and for older kids 14 I made sweetie cones aswell xx
We had colouring books we ordered off etsy - personalised on front with each child's name and was a huge hit with them all! X
I made up mine and tailored to age of children, boys had little Lego sets in theirs, little card games and joke books etc and girls had more colouring type things in, and things like top trumps home bargains and pound land have loads of stuff in x
If your happy to DIY a little I have just purchased a PDF colouring book off ETSY you then just print on whatever coloured paper you like and as many as you like and assemble them this has worked out a lot cheaper as I have the ability to just print what we actually need! We are putting pencils/crayons with it..balloons and a
Lolly pop .
We're doing something similar. There's a room attached to the main room, I've asked for a table to be set up so there'll be colouring, wii, reading books sounds like a good idea.
I went to the range and bought things that would go inside party bags really so for boys I put in little cars and the girls mini jewellery making kits, I put a colouring book, crayons, bubbles and animal snap cards in them all. I got positive feedback from mummies! 😊 xxx
We just bought cheap colouring books and put a glass with lots of coloured pencil in and a sharpener. We had 35 kids to be honest they barely touched them they liked the glow sticks and mini jars of sweets more x
I put some together for my wedding. We had colouring books and pencils, some bubbles, a little bag of sweeties, little toy dinosaurs, some plastic jewellery for the girls, a squashy mini rugby ball and an animal mask. I just got loads of bits from the pound shop or eBay and we only had family children at our wedding so it was only about 8 bags I did. Also someone else brought a bubble gun and a huge bottle of bubbles so that kept the kids entertained outside for ages!
This is a fab idea! Thanks for posting
I made my own. Asked the parents what the children liked and made them all very personalised. Admittedly we only had 4 children to our wedding so it was quite easy but put things like colouring books, mini lego people, make bracelets a lollipop bubbles and then something to do with the wedding in it! X
We made a puzzle book and put in some colour pencils, crayons and some 'party bag' toys
*bored
We are getting disposable cameras and a list of things for them to take photos of - like the wedding cake, people laughing, the youngest person and so on...
I just ordered them personalised colouring books on eBay, for the girls they had Disney princesses and the boys had avengers (the characters were made from words like wedding, marriage, nephew/niece etc) and came with colouring pens, the kids loved them and they didn't cost a fortune!
Sorry no advise but surely ukbride.co.uk could spell check the posts before posting them?! *bored (!!)
My brother and his wife had these made and gave colouring pencils for everyone
We did a colouring table at ours and I printed lots of colouring sheets off the internet. Stapled them together and put a massive tub of crayons, pencils and felt tips in the middle. Kept our kids entertained for an hour or so which was what we needed.
Yeh we plann to put together some goodie activity bags for the children also place a mat/rug in a corner of the room with toys on so children have plenty to do so the parents can relax xx
I had bags made up, mainly for the speeches. I had 11 children so tailed them to what they liked x I did travel games, cards, cars, colouring books and pencil's, bath toys, bibs and plates for the under 2's.
I then had half of the hall set out with toys so a playhouse, Lego duplo and trains x (we had the wedding in a church that is not used anymore)
We did them we put in a sticker book. Colouring book and colours a mini toy and a junior Lego set there was only 2 of them so it wasn't expensive but Poundland do some little toys you could add in... and a little packet of sweets x
Bought my boxes from Ebay...the person/company i bought them from had various themed boxes and for different age groups too...they're fab! Can't wait for the kids to receive these...even the cat liked them
We bought "I spy" cards from eBay and disposable cameras. The cards had a list of things they had to take pictures of. I.e. Best man speech, cake, funny dancing etc
I did these for our wedding.

They were all aged 6 and 7..
We got bubble wands, and a lunchbox pack so we put little things in like little action figures or cars and some puzzles, stickers and colouring books and a pack of sweets like Haribo the kids loved them if you would like some more info feel free to pm me.
We are doing Sticker books for ours. Our venue has a clause about colouring pencils and table clothes. There is a charge incurred if this happens so they suggested alternative options. Might be worth just checking your contract first x
We went to B&m got sticker books colouring in books that had mazes and bubbles and they had a great time to be honest there will be so much going on you will find they probably don't get bored x

My partners auntie gave out gift bags and activity books for the age of my baby so it included a penguin hand puppet some teething rings and a personalised colouring book for when shes a bit older, the other kids who were 1 and 2 got some little toys and sweets instead of the teethers xx
We made our own activity booklets, we had a crossword, a secret message and other personalised activities and there was a prize for the first child to finish each one. They were really popular. We also had a giant jenga, connect 4 and dominoes.
We bought colouring packs off amazon and they worked out at 40p each. Also did kids activity table with card and crayons to make us a card, bought a giant snakes & ladders set and skittles for on the dance floor during the day xx
I got mine off etsy for about £1.80 each. Was a box with colouring and puzzle pages, sweeties, toy snake, maze, pencils etc. Great value and speedy delivery!
Sounds good
i got coloring books which were lovely which had our names and date of wedding on activity coloringbooks and not too expensive from amazon
I was a nursery nurse when I got married, so my group of children were invited to the wedding reception with their parents. I played party games with them like pass the parcel and musical chairs, they loved it.
We did a kids tables with colouring books etc but the best purchase we made was we bought some inflatable pirate swords and some fairy Wands and the kids had a blast. Hours of entertainment there and they all got to take one home. We also got bubbles too. X
Ours have personalised activity book, drawing pad, pencils, novelty straw, glow sticks, bubbles, a new phone case for the older 3, sweets and a book each to read, oh and a foam disc shooter gun lol x
I have done colouring books for kids and then crayons and bubbles in little silver buckets. Looked brilliant! x

Our older children had notebook, pen, lipgloss, biscuits, a chocolate bar etc. They went down really well
I did jars of lego
I did this for all the children at my wedding and they loved them I put bubbles in magic bubble little Colouring book and little pencils and a rainbow pencils, sweets, a little
Man that you throw and stick to things, little games like snakes and ladders noughts and crosses I would give some one game the other another game so they all didn't have the same game as thought it was pointless the chocolate favours I had a little pack of cards for the older ones and a pack of snap cards for the younger ones I can't think of anything else I put in lol but the kids loved it and kept them busy after they finished their meal was lovely seeing the kids playing with their bits
Colouring / activity books with crayons and small packs of Lego for the big kids lol. Xx
Activity books, travel size games, foam aeroplanes/animals, inflatable props etc. If you have a Tiger shop nearby pop in there I got most of the bits from there
'bored'
I bought kids lunch boxes from eBay as well as mini packets of crayons and mini colouring books, then went to the pound shop for some party bag filler toys, multipack of mini haribo and small packets of crisps all in I did 15 kids boxes for around £20 and I bought glitter glue to write the kids names on them xx
Ooh I never thought of this but it's a good idea and I might do it myself. We are going to hire other entertainment (only stuff like giant games) but it will be nice to have something a little more orientated to them. Thanks!
