When you’re planning your wedding, a lot goes into making the reception fun for everyone — and that means kids, too! Lake St. Louis Banquet Center has been the premier banquet hall for people tying the knot in St. Charles County, MO, for more than 35 years. They know just how important it is to make your event an exciting time for guests of all ages, and they have some creative ways to make your wedding reception kid-friendly.

How to Have a Kid-Friendly Wedding Reception

Have a Creative Station

Let’s face it; kids will probably get bored during the ceremony, so the reception is a time to give them something to do. Set up a kids table that houses games and creative activities for the younger ones. Know the ages of the children who will be attending so you can keep that in mind when planning. You could have crayons and paper for them to make the newlyweds a picture or baskets that include Legos®, board games, or puzzles.

Incorporate Kid-Friendly Food

Candies, chips, and cookies are popular options for kids of all ages. You can also add some kid-friendly cocktails to the menu. Fruit juices, lemonade, or even a specialty-made mocktail are sure to make them happy.

Get Them Moving

Have your DJ play some kid-friendly tunes to get them up and moving on the dance floor. Popular Disney® songs will add a fun element to the reception — even for adults! You can also add a line on your invitations for a DJ request where families can include a tune their little ones will love.

When you’re deciding how to entertain your guests, don’t forget to include the kids! If you’re looking for a place to have an unforgettable wedding reception in St. Charles County, go for a venue with a long-standing history of happy customers.
