3. Arts + Crafts

4. Bubbles
\n<\/span><\/strong>Kids love to blow bubbles and the little ones will definitely enjoy this. BUT if you do choose to incorporate this, remember to keep it away from the dance floor or high traffic areas. The floor gets sticky and people could slip.<\/span>\"3_little_girls_in_white_blowing_bubbles_at_wedding.jpg\"Photo Credit:Sarah Aird<\/p>\n

5. Snack Station
\n<\/span><\/strong>Weddings are long and kids get hungry. Popcorn, cookies, cheese-its, goldfish and other snack foods will calm the kiddos tummies and keep them happy!
