Weddings are a magical time for everyone, but keeping children entertained can be a challenge. Ensuring the little ones are happy and engaged allows parents to relax and enjoy the celebrations too. At Pop Up Party UK, we specialise in creating unforgettable experiences for kids at weddings. Here are some top tips to keep children smiling and entertained throughout your special day.

1. Create a VIP Kids’ Corner

A dedicated kids’ corner is a perfect way to keep young guests entertained while adding a touch of charm to your wedding. Styled as cozy dens with cushioned seating, our wedding corners are designed to complement your wedding theme, colour palette, and decor.

Here’s what our VIP Kids’ Corners include:

• Giant Lace Teepees: A whimsical space for kids to relax and play.
• Activity Tables: Stocked with coloring sheets, crafts, and mini LEGO kits for hours of fun.
• Traditional Games & Toys: A chest of board games, books, and nursery toys for all ages.
• Special Touches: Personalised wedding favours, activity packs, and a dining area just for the little ones.

Our beautifully styled kids' corners not only keep children entertained but also provide a stunning backdrop for photos, creating precious memories for everyone.

2. Hire a Face Painter

After the formal photos are taken, bring in a face painter to transform the kids into their favorite animals, superheroes, or fairytale characters. This not only keeps them entertained but adds a fun and vibrant energy to your wedding.

3. Plan a Treasure Hunt

Engage their curiosity with a treasure hunt! Hide clues around the venue, leading to a small prize. For an added twist, provide disposable cameras and create a photo scavenger hunt – a fantastic way to see your wedding through the eyes of the kids.

4. Play Garden Games

Garden games are a wonderful way to entertain children at weddings, bringing excitement and fun to your special day. These oversized classics and carnival-style activities are ideal for outdoor spaces and are sure to keep guests of all ages entertained.

Giant Jenga and Giant Connect 4 are perennial favourites, encouraging a bit of friendly competition. Children will love the challenge of stacking the blocks as high as they can or planning their next move to connect four discs in a row. These games are as enjoyable for adults as they are for the kids, making them a real crowd-pleaser.

To add a nostalgic touch, consider setting up a Coconut Shy or Ring Toss. These traditional fairground games are simple and fun, offering a great way for guests to test their aim. Whether knocking coconuts from their stands or looping rings onto pegs, these activities are guaranteed to generate plenty of laughs.

Another brilliant choice is Cornhole, a bean bag toss game that’s easy for everyone to enjoy. With its straightforward rules and interactive nature, it’s perfect for keeping younger guests happy and occupied.

For something a little more vibrant, include Balloon Darts. Children will be thrilled to pop colourful balloons, whether for the sheer joy of it or to uncover small surprises inside. It’s a visually striking activity that adds a touch of excitement to the day.

Incorporating these games into your wedding will ensure the children are entertained, while also creating a lively and cheerful atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.

5. Host a Kids’ Disco

Set up a dance floor just for the kids! With a playlist of their favourite pop hits and family-friendly tunes, a kids’ disco gives them a chance to burn off energy and show off their dance moves before the evening entertainment begins.
