Cute Wedding Kids Table Ideas

First, Keep the Kids Happy During the Ceremony

The last thing you want to hear during a wedding ceremony is noisy kids. One cute way to keep them entertained is with some bubbles! It’s a festive way to celebrate your nuptials and the kids love them. 

Create a bubble station where kids and guests can grab some bubbles before sitting down.

Or, you can leave them at each seat as a fun wedding favor idea.

You can find loads of wedding favor bubbles on places like Amazon and Etsy, too.

Get creative as far as how you contain them; a basket would work well for a shabby chic wedding, whereas a modern acrylic box would work better for a more contemporary wedding.

Most kids need several different forms of entertainment to keep them happy all night long, so I love the idea of creating small kid-friendly wedding “kits” that come with little games, activity books and more to keep busy. Plus, this means one less wedding centerpiece for you to create!
