    Any ideas on how to keep kids entertained.. We're havin a marquee wedding so are havin a bouncy castle outside n maybe some thing else along them lines..
    But was stuck for ideas for inside the marquee...
    The kids favours are gonna be activity packs, what do yous think to borrowin some board games n jenga n stuff like that? Altho the majority of the kids are quite young...

    From what I've seen at weddings, kids are more than happy to just play with each other.

    The more you give the more they might bicker.... a bouncy castle and their activity bags seem more than enough :)

    I jave never been to a wedding with special provision for kids - wow! I think your bouncy castle on its own would be more than enough! Ask your band or DJ to do some kids songs and dances (time warp, music man, pass the parcel etc.) at various points in the vening.
