    I'm looking to do favours for the children that are attending for the day and evening as well as the adults.
    They will vary from the ages of 1 upto 16 and will probably be around 20 of them.

    Does anyone have any suggestions of what I could do to suit all ages?
    It's a pretty broad age range so think it may be difficult!

    I am hopefully doing a candy buffet too so don't know whether to just let the children have the sweets as favours??. But don't want to look as if I'm being a cheap skate

    Any suggestions would be much appreciated x

    I'm doing little bags with stickers and coloring for my 16 children attending I think. Children attending mine are a little younger than yours though.... Sorry I'm no help :( xxx

    We did think about seperate favours for kids - having 8 at our wedding - but simply couldn't be bothered in the end!

    Can't wait until the day I become Mrs. Johnson :)

    im making up some little packs for the kids the smaller ones have colouring book , pencils , lolly ,stickers and a story book (all from the shop where pounds stretch so cost about £2 each) the older ones have disposable camera and a list of silly pictures they need to take, some sweets and a little book that they can stick the photos in and write about the day these work out a little dearer but as i have bought a job lot of cameras to put on the tables in the evening it wasnt too bad about £17 for 10 cameras i will of course get them develoed for them though. i have used little gems on the front for their names and the packs will be given at the wedding breakfast as their place cards if that makes sense.

    One BIG day will lead to lots of little happy days !!

    I bought plain cardboard type lunch box things and decorated each one with child's name - I made activity books relating to their age - printed different pages from the internet (dot to dot, colour by numbers, crosswords etc) and tied together with a ribbon - you can also buy these type of books for about £1 each.
    I added pop up coloured pencils, sweets, bubbles. Little stick and spring up toys for the little ones - mobile phone/hangbag charms for older ones.
    If you are having children's tables you could buy a couple of cheap games/cards etc or chalk board for hangman type games and put on the table to share

    Once I've seen the layout of the room for my venue I was having children's tables, think it will be nice for the parents to be able to chill put and relax of the children are occupied :) x

    Thanks for the ideas everyone xx

    I'm doing activity packs for the 8 coming to mine! Will be no sweets (i'm a dental nurse) and i don't want out of control children, but does that sound mean?
