Child-friendly events: A Cute Occasion or Messy Ordeal?
Wedding, corporate or other special event? Worried about the guests bringing children to your special occasion? This is a common yet delicate issue because you do not want to offend anybody if you do not wish to have little guests but at the same time your goal is for the guests enjoy themselves should you decide on a child-friendly event.
First things first. Before sending out any invitation, decide whether the celebration will be an adults-only zone or not. Make it clear to the guests so that parent guests can make their own arrangements for the occasion.
Deciding pro children attending your event with pretty formal dresses and tiny penguin suits might make them look adorable and angelic at times but it certainly does not mean that you do not have to think about their own entertainment too. Children at special events need to be occupied and kept busy otherwise they will just get bored and irritate their parents or even worse other guests!
There are many options on how to tackle this. You as a host or organizer can provide an area or table especially dedicated to them. Colouring books, crafts supplies, puzzles, play dough, quiet board games and movies are all ways of keeping them busy. Having some of the guests keep an eye on them would be even more helpful.
Another option would be to provide professional entertainment especially for the children. This is a sure way of having your mind at rest, where the children will definitely enjoy themselves and not interfere with the rest of the party. Event sitting is becoming a more popular choice for formal events as it is a form of child animation which maintains the decorum of the formal event.
