Distractions For Little Hands

We didn't invite every kid in our life as a guest to the wedding, although it is starting to feel like we are planning a circus. But who doesn't love a circus (without the clowns)?

These cases of fun are for the three eight/nine year old girls. I included some little goodies from Bath and Body Works (Bubble Gum lip gloss, Sweet Pea lotion, a plastic pocket mirror), a bouncy ball and a card game in a Paper Source suitcase. Our four year old attendant will receive a coloring book game, markers and other fun drawing supplies. Their ballet flats and a sweet little headband from twigs and honey will also be included before we hand them over.


Our two five year old boys will receive an Old Navy backpack with some fun games and coloring activities inside. The two year old is receiving the same thing, only more age appropriate.

I love that fishing game!

We will ask their parents to bring them along to the wedding so that they will have some distractions when things get slow- when they aren't smiling for pictures, during cocktails, when their feet hurt from dancing. Cafe Brauer is part of the Lincoln Park Zoo, so if that doesn't serve as a distraction between the ceremony and cocktails, I don't know what will!

What are you doing to keep the little guys in your wedding busy?
