Why Include Coloring and Activity Pages at Your Wedding
If you're inviting kiddos to your wedding, then you'll know that weddings can often be a long and tiring event for them, especially those who aren't old enough to fully understand what is happening. They can become restless and bored during the ceremony and reception which can lead to them acting out or being . Adding fun themed coloring and activity pages to your kids' tables can keep them entertained and prevent them from causing a disruption.
Not only do coloring and activity pages keep children occupied, but they can also be a great way to incorporate the wedding theme and create a cohesive look. They can feature the wedding colors, illustrations of the happy couple, or even designs that represent the venue. Additionally, having something for children to do can alleviate some of the stress for parents who may be worrying about keeping their children occupied during the event.
But, coloring and activity pages aren't just for kids! Many adults find coloring to be a relaxing and therapeutic activity, especially in social situations where they may feel nervous or uncomfortable. Adding adult coloring pages to your wedding can provide a fun and interactive activity for guests of all ages. Overall, incorporating fun themed coloring and activity pages at your wedding can add an extra level of entertainment and excitement for guests, both young and old!
How to Choose the Right Coloring Pages
Choosing the right coloring pages for your wedding can be a fun task, but it's important to keep in mind the age range of the children attending your wedding. If the kids are younger, simple and easy-to-color pages with larger pictures are ideal. For older kids, intricate designs and patterns may be more appealing.
And to help get everyone in the wedding spirit, it's always a great idea to choose coloring pages that fit your wedding theme! If you're having a beach wedding, pages with ocean animals or beach scenes would be a perfect fit. If you're having a rustic barn wedding, then pages with horses and cowboy boots may be preferable. If your wedding is more formal, choose pages with elegant designs and details.
Make sure you print enough copies for all the kids attending your wedding. It's always better to have extra pages just in case, especially since the grownups may want to partake, too. Consider providing a variety of coloring tools such as crayons, colored pencils, and markers to give the kids options and let them unleash their creativity!
Incorporating Your Wedding Theme into the Coloring Pages
If you have a specific wedding theme, it can be fun to incorporate it into your wedding activity book. For example, if you are having a beach wedding, include coloring pages with images of sandcastles, sea creatures, and palm trees. For a rustic wedding, incorporate images of barns, farm animals, and wildflowers into your coloring pages. If you're having a classic wedding, opt for elegant and timeless coloring pages with floral designs and ornate patterns.
For a fall wedding, include images of autumn leaves, pumpkins, and cozy vibes. This can be a great way to entertain kids at the wedding while still incorporating the theme of the day. For an extra personal touch, write each child's name on their own coloring packs.
Not to brag or anything, but all of our themed wedding coloring pages include all of these delightful ideas!
By incorporating your wedding theme into your activity book, it's a great way to add some personality to your wedding and make it even more memorable for everyone involved!
Printing and Setting Up the Coloring Pages at the Kids' Tables
Once you have chosen the perfect coloring and activity pages for your wedding, it's time to print them out and set them up at the kids' tables.
To print the pages, you can print them at home on your printer on standard paper or if you're making them into cute little booklets, take them to a local print shop.
When it comes to setting up the pages at the kids' tables, get creative! You can place the coloring pages on each child's seat or have a designated table with coloring books and crayons. Consider using small favor bags or a large basket to hold crayons or markers together, making it easy for the kids to grab them.
Another fun idea is to create a coloring corner. Set up a small table with comfortable seating and all the necessary supplies. Decorate the area with balloons or banners that match your wedding theme to make it extra special.
Remember to provide a variety of coloring pages suitable for different age groups. Younger children may enjoy simpler designs, while older kids might prefer more intricate patterns. This way, everyone can find something they like and stay entertained throughout the evening. (That's why our exclusive wedding coloring pages and activity book have a bit of something for every age!)
Adding coloring and activity pages to the kids' tables is a fantastic way to keep the little ones engaged and happy during the wedding festivities. It allows them to express their creativity and provides a fun and interactive experience. Plus, it gives their parents a chance to relax and enjoy the celebration knowing their children are happily occupied.
What Do I Put on a Kids' Table?
Creating a separate kids' table at your wedding is a great way to make sure everyone has a good time. But what should you put on that table to keep your younger guests entertained? One of the simplest ways to keep kids occupied is with coloring and activity pages. These pages are a low-cost way to ensure kids have a fun activity to do during the reception and have always been a popular favorite with couples.
Make sure you have plenty of coloring supplies available. Crayons, markers, or colored pencils are all great options to let kids choose their own. Make sure you have enough for everyone, and keep them in cups, containers, or their own favor bags so they don't get scattered.
Next, consider setting the kids' table with a special Kids' Table sign. This can make the table feel special and more inviting for younger guests.
Will the kids have their own wedding menu? If so, print out a special menu card or create an alternative format of a menu (like we have with our driftwood menu sticks in our photos!) for each place setting at the table. Additionally, come up with a fun kids-only punch or drink with fun straws or drink stirrers. This way they can still feel like they're part of the celebration and have a special drink to sip on.
Depending on the age of the children attending, you may or may not want a floral centerpiece for the table. We love flowers, so yes always! If you do, keep the arrangement low and in a non-glass container to keep everyone safe should a mess occur.
By including these simple elements, you'll have a kids' table that's both fun and functional!
