hm I didn't make busy bags, but that's a really good idea! Sorry I don't have any advice on what to put in them!

btw did you or are you getting any of your stationary accessories i.e. programs, menus, etc. from Diana? I got all of my stuff from her at it all came out awesome! I love everything!

When you say busy bags, do you mean to keep them amused at the wedding?

I purchased a few books & coloring books and crayons for my nephew (5 years) and my flower girl (7 years).

I don't think I am putting them in any kind of bag. Maybe my mom will just hand them to the kids. Didn't really give this any thought. Sorry.

It depended on the age of the child. We had a few kids and they ranged in age from 3-10. For the younger kids I bought them coloring books and crayons. For the older ones, I went to Party City and bought games and candy. They had a bunch of Spiderman and Pirates of the Caribbean stuff that I bought. I also bought tote bags at Michael's and made tags with each kid's name on them. They were hung on the back of their chairs.

I think either a bag or gable boxes.

We are doing a coloring/activity book and crayons, glow necklaces, self inking stamps, and felt beanie hats that have crab claws coming out of the top with googly eyes (we have a nautical themed wedding).

sorry, don't have any pictures since we haven't assembled them yet!

Was going to use gift bags but I like the idea of the tote bags & hanging them on the backs of the chairs for them.

I only need two, one for my 6 year old niece and one for my 9 year old nephew.
Each gets a box of crayons, two coloring/activity books and a doodle pad.
My nephew gets a small magic kit that I bout at Michael's and my niece gets a small puzzle.

Right now I have plain gift bags where I will write their names on them.

I like the idea about adding snacks, but I think that I will make them a special 'favor' - the adults are getting bottles of wine in organza bottle bags. I just might fill two bottle bags with various candies, snacks, and small toys and have them placed on the table for the kids.
