will you be providing activity kits for the kids?

someone else posted something about coloring books. i think that's a great idea and a great way to keep the kids occupied... yet i feel like with all that's going on, the excitement of the room will keep the kids from staying seated...

so i'm still unsure...

i'm in exactly the same boat ... if anything, i print out my own coloring pages (and mazes and the like) and giving them crayons (probably ones i steal ... err, i mean 'borrow' from Chili's or something) ... but I just don't know if it's worth the hassle in the first place!

I think for the most part kids will be entertained between eating and dancing and everything, but I am going to print out some coloring books for them.

Also, the FGs gifts are disney digital camcorders, so I bet they'll have a blast with those!

awww.. i'm sorry. those are just the things that i think about when i think of kids.... if you know that most of the kids that are attending your wedding are at a more mature age, then i wouldn't worry.

i only worry cause my RH is providing the linens and i rather not have to pay more than i already am...

Exactly why I won't be giving them crayons.

I think it depends on the age of the kids. If they are around 8- up, I think they'll be entertained enough with the food and music to not need any extra activities.

If you do decide to get something for them anyway, your best bet is to get something that won't make too much of a mess like foam activities where the pieces are self adhesive.

Nope.
In my family the kids are always out on the dance floor!!

The ones who stay at the table are the spoiled clingy ones who wouldn't make use of the activity anyway.

Same here!

We are! I used a vendor off of Etsy. Her name is
KTPaperCrafts. She made aproof right away for us and gave us the option of us prinitng htem out or her.

I am expecting on inviting only 4 children (between ages 6 and 13). I do not plan on making them anything special. I have gone to fancy dinners at country clubs with them, and they have always been well behaved and they all love to dance so I am sure they will be going nuts on the dance floor all afternoon long.
