Fun for the Kids

date posted: June 29, 2014

You’ll definitely WANT to sit at the kids’ table with these fun ideas—but sorry it’s “munchkins only!” Youngsters will love it and parents will savor the freedom to enjoy festivities while wee-ones are occupied. It’s about creativity with a purpose: a white paper tablecloth becomes a canvas for art accented with colorful cups, plates, and personalized goody bags or containers filled with crayons, small toys, bubbles and candies. Forego the flower centerpieces and switch them out for pinwheels or lollipop bouquets. Depending on the child count and your budget—you can go extravagant by hiring clowns doubling as “baby-tenders,” or rent tents, tunnels and bouncy houses.

From simple to extravagant—planning something special for kids is worth its weight in gold . . . or pink, blue, lavender, or whatever color you’ve chosen for your décor.
