Wedding Essentials : Adorable Fun Bags to Entertain Children at Your Wedding || Dreamery Events

Weddings are not necessarily the most children geared celebration, most things that are special or we partake as adults, are not the things children find entertaining. But of course children make up the very dear people in our lives, they can be flowers girls, ring bearers, nieces, nephews or just darling friends…..of course these cuties have to take part in the special day. What we cherish and remember as adults from our wedding, are not what a child remembers, that’s why today I’m sharing my essential tips and ideas to entertain all your youngest guests with these Adorable and Fun Goodie Bags to make sure all the children attending your wedding have just as much fun too!

Crayons, colored pencils..they are a must, children, of all ages, love to color!

Bubbles – a little pot for fun bubble making, is always a winner!

A Few Sweet Treats Never Hurt Nobody! Include at least two candy varieties you know most children will enjoy, and also considers any specific allergies, like classic chocolate pieces and festive Lollipops. Individually wrapped or mini versions, work best for this. You can also swap in a healthy treat like pretty packets of grapes, apples or other fruit in season or native to your wedding destination. A bag of nuts, dried fruits or local traditional cookies would also be great for these goodie bags!

Love is a beautiful puzzle …. It’s fun to include small individual puzzle piece squares, who doesn’t love to work on a puzzle. These blank ones we included are blank for a reason, it allows the children to color in whatever image for their puzzle as they choose. Some of the older children might even decide to group together to design a larger puzzle image…how fun would that be?!!

If you really want to all go in the puzzle theme, you can even have a puzzle made from one of your engagement photos. That would be fun for all to put together and a treasured keepsake for years to come.

Package these fun time treats in a lovely Take Home Bag! Gather all these goodies all in a cute bag the darling guests can reuse again. That’s why I love these simple yet classic looking cotton muslin drawstring bags! They secure all their treats inside while being a lovely new bag they can bring to school or on their upcoming summer adventures. Plus it allows each child to bring their fun items back to their seat with mom or dad, and they can be amongst the party with everyone else, just entertained with their goodie bag.

Once you have everything above included in your children wedding bags, then you’re all set, but in the case you want to throw in a little something extra and fun, these items also make great children goodie bag treats!

Pint Size Play Doh, as long as it’s toxic free and allowed at the venue, then it makes a fun and entertaining treat to include. I know I would love to get my hands on play doh, anyone else like sinking their fingers into the squishy fluffiness! 

Finger Puppets – for a little imaginative and furry fun! You can buy finger puppets in sets or if you’re feeling really creative, you could create your own simple felt finger puppets.

Scavenger Hunt Checklists work great for older kids who are okay on their own, and just a bit too old to sit around and color. Create a fun list of scavenger items and pair it along with an instant camera. Good times are sure to be had! 

Retro + Classic Toys. If your venue has the room to have a separate space to entertain children, then take advantage of it! Setup a basket with a handful of toys that children can play together, and for a bit of time, preferably through all the dances and speeches. Spinning tops, kaleidoscopes and board games are great ideas and please many ages!

If you’re having a destination or summer wedding, chances are you might have a few lovely young guests ready to attend your special day, so it’s best to keep them entertained, so that not only they, but their parents and you can all full enjoy your special day! 

Have you ever made Children “busy” bags for a wedding? Any suggestions on what else we might include?

Dreamery Headshot_2020

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. Travel is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adeus 2020... It‘ll be impossible to forget you, Adeus 2020...
It‘ll be impossible to forget you, you broke us, but you also reminded us how we resilient we are. Your chapter is closed, good riddance!!

Ironically my word for 2020 was “Bliss” yet despite all the grief, the heartbreak + emotional rollercoaster I think all of us, although at times hard, did see the silver linings this past year brought. Personally, I realized early on the immense amount of Bliss that was already present in my life, perhaps more so if this year wasn’t what it was.

No, there weren’t Big Blissful moments or travels, but there was so many moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of every day. More time in the garden, a newfound excitement in the kitchen, endless cloud gazing — birdsong listening — butterfly + dragonfly catching — soothing sunsets + always stopping to smell the roses moments. Blissful moments to create whatever it was I felt like doing, moments to appreciate what truly matters in life + what of that is what always needs to be present in life. The chance to escape in the safety of nature + loved ones. The blissful opportunity to rest, to mentally wander, to learn what stillness really is. 

I gave myself grace this year & a well deserved pat on the back, & I really hope you did the same!! As I sail into 2021 I remember just how important all these moments are for growth + Expansion…

Things won’t change right away but all I can wish for all of us in 2021 is abundance, health, unity, joy & Love🤍🤍
Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merr Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merry Christmas🤍❄️ this year certainly doesn’t feel the same, we’re not gathering w. our loved ones, in fact for many this holiday season has been even more stress inducing than other years. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be magical & wonderful & beautiful whether you’re with your kids, your parents or spending it alone. Don’t forget to make it special & honor your favorite traditions, even if just for yourself!!

May these final days of the year be calm, be love & may brighter days shine upon us all next year✨🌿
