Play a joke on the groom

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Want to play a joke on the groom,try this good one from Peter Bruce Photo & Video.During the wedding ceremony, when the minister/preacher/priest comes to the part about, “If anyone has any reason why these two people should not marry, speak up now or forever hold your peace…” have this 4-to-6,iyear old boy running up the aisle loudly yelling, “Daddy, daddy.” It works better if the groom does not know the boy.

Children & Destination Weddings by Peter Bruce

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

I wanted to follow up on my last blog about Destinations weddings. I feel that I left a few ones out,which I will cover over the next few days. Giving you more info and detail on get away weddings. One thing I think is great at weddings and we have talk about this in the past,is kids at weddings,but when it is a Destination wedding and kids are coming,well then it is different. When planning a wedding abroad or away from your city of residence, remember to take into account the children that you have invited. In fact, your own children may be attending the wedding and someone needs to provide for them. Since you want to enjoy a little time with new your new spouse, it might a good idea to have the children stay at the hotel or resort with a trusted relative. By doing this, the couple is not constantly worried about the children and the relative will have time to entertain them.

The children will most likely be different age brackets which might make keeping them occupied more difficult but if they are family, they will be used to one another. Generally, there are a few ways to keep the kids happy during their stay.

  • Make sure the sightseeing is appropriate for the children. Anything too strenuous or exhausting for small children should be reconsidered. That is not to say that none of the adults should go. But maybe the children should stay back with someone who does not wish to go.

  • Be safe. One thing that happens when vacationing or traveling to a resort or hotel for a wedding, the jubilant emotions cloud judgments. Common sense must be used when allowing children near water, nears strangers, and allowing them to wander about in a strange place. It is easy to lose sight of the children so be diligent and have other people help so that everyone enjoys himself or herself.

  • Organize activities specifically for children, both during the stay and at the wedding reception. Face painting, puppet shows, building sandcastles, making snowmen, and age appropriate crafts will help children to avoid boredom.

Entertaing kids at weddings…

Monday, September 14th, 2009

The chances are that you might be having some kids at your wedding reception. There’s always the Flower Girl and the Ring Bearer. If you are looking for some creative and fun ways to entertain your little people (and help their parents have a good time at the party without having to worry about them) try these ideas:

Jumping Castles…

If you are having an outdoor reception or in a large hall, you can devote one corner entirely to a Jumping castle. Kids of all ages will get busy playing and jumping on it. You can rent one from Birthday Party supply stores. You will also need to make sure that someone will supervise the kids when they are at it. Usually, an older kid or a teenager will be glad to oblige.

Professional Entertainers…

good magician, clown or other type of kids  entertainer can provide youngsters with a very welcome distraction for a couple of hours. Another good option is a balloon pump and modeling balloons, which can be made into hats, animals, and other fun shape.  If you want to go all out for your little friends, professional crèche organizers can cater for children up to 14 or 15, providing entertainment from dolls and ball pits to dance mats and Play station games.

Candy Toss…

Little ones will line up when the bride is ready to toss her bouquet and neither the bride, nor the bridesmaids or the kids’ parents will like it if the kids attempt to get hold of either the bouquet or worse, the garter. Solve the problem creatively by having a Candy toss for the kids first. Buy assorted soft and hard candies and toss them for the kids to collect. Provide for little bags for the kids to take home their loot.

Outdoor Games & Sports…

Outdoor weddings can accommodate some more things for the kids. You could choose some kind of sports like croquet, beach balls, kite flying etc. to keep the kids busy. Choose a far end of the reception venue for the purpose and once again, make sure that everything is supervised by an older kid or an adult.

Activity Tables…

Devote one or more  tables to the kids and give them a lot of activities to keep busy with. Coloring books, washable crayons, stickers, legos, jigsaw puzzles, piñatas, board games etc. Be warned that kids can get messy so keep the table in a separate corner of the room and have someone to supervise them.

Flower Girl Doll…

Give your flower girl the sweetest memories for a lifetime by gifting her a doll who wears the exact same dress as she herself is wearing on the wedding day. A fashion doll like Barbie will be a good choice for this idea.

Roll 14_10A_1401

Kiddie Food…

Think about your kid guests when planning the menu. Include some fun kid’s food in the menu. Or you can also order some fast food for the kids. McDonald’s kiddie meals are a great choice for kids as they have their complete meals along with toys which act as favors for them. Keep bowls of candy on the kids tables, or make looie pops Insert round, colorful lollipops into a floral foam base form the local craft shop. It looks pretty and the kids will enjoy it more than the flower centerpieces!

Put kids to Work…

Kids are amazingly capable of rising to the occasion — especially when they have an “important” job to do, like passing out wedding programs, manning the kippah station or ushering guests to their seats. And they needn’t clock out after the ceremony. At the beginning of the party, give each child a disposable camera labeled with his or her name and explain that they have been hired as a junior photographer. In doing so, you’ll not only keep little hands snapping and out of trouble, you’ll capture unique, child’s-eye-view imagery of your celebration that you wouldn’t otherwise have.

Wind Them Down With a Video…

If your wedding celebration will last into the wee hours, arrange for your event facility to set up a television and DVD player in a nearby-but-out-of-earshot-of-the-party spot. As the bewitching hour draws near, have your counselors invite all of the children to watch a G-rated late-night flick. Supply pillows, blankets and a couple of bags of popcorn and — with a little luck and a well-chosen movie (nothing too peppy or scary) — your crowd will be crashed by the closing credits.

The bottom line people…

Kids seem to have fun at weddings, regardless of whether there are bouncy castles or coloring books or assigned jobs to keep them busy. The novelty of the experience, and the obvious enjoyment and happiness that the adults are having, will keep most of them in good spirits.Remember one thing, kids don’t get in the way,they are the way.
