Having a kids table?

I didn't have a kids only table but I had coloring activity books and some small toys I gave out to kids

I absolutely think that seating kids with their parents will help with good behaviour. I didn’t even consider a kids’ table - of course it does depend on their ages, if they’re 10 and older it would probably be fine but under that I think it’s asking for trouble to not seat them with their parents. If you have space, an activity table could be awesome, but for the meal, with their parents definitely.

We aren't having a kid's table because we've been to weddings with them and the kids were either wild and unsupervised or it wasn't used. I would definitely have the kids sit with their parents for dinner at least, then use the table during the open dance floor time.

I am not a kids table fan. 1, a lot of kids prefer to sit with their parents. 2, a lot of parents prefer their kids sit with them to help them eat/make sure they eat or behave/etc. 3, if kids aren't sat by their parents they usually get pretty wild.

We are planning to have kids sit with their parents. I have rented a 60” short round table to provide activities. They’ll have non-messy crafts, legos, and a bracelet making station to keep them somewhat occupied. We’ll only have 7 kids at ours. We will have little gift bags for the kids as well filled with fun stuff.

I had a kids table at my wedding. All the cousins were seated there and their parents were at the table directly next to them. To my knowledge, there was not one issue. We had rectangular tables so I don't know if that helped because the tables weren't spread out.

I'm seating the children with their parents for my reception. We don't really have more than about six-eight kids attending our wedding though and they're all at least five years old and super well behaved. I just think they'll be better off seated with their parents though.

I think the coloring books / activities for children is a great idea I am considering but kids table wasn't an option for me.. not enough kids to fill a table and my venue has rivers children could easily find/ fall into so while I didn't say no kids; I made it clear to parents that they need to watch their children so they shouldn't be sitting alone because they can't go wander alone. and they would haha.

Ah the activities sounds like such a good idea. Doubt any of the kids would be into they're all 8+ and cousins.... which if you have cousins you know you'll end up getting into trouble. I think sitting them with their kids is probably best.

I’m planning on having a kids table/ kids corner. It’ll have activities (bubbles, coloring books, crayons, stickers, etc.) and they can eat there. I’m also planning on hiring babysitters to help with the kids.

My brother had a kids' table at his wedding and it worked really well for them. They provided lots of fun things to keep the children distracted. However, most of these children are part of their church are used to having to be calm and quiet. We didn't have children at our wedding other than those in the wedding and a 4 month old so there was no need. I think some children can be very loud and run around so I think really depends on the children that you invite. For instance, my husband's niece is very loud and moody if she doesn't get her way so she wouldn't have done well at a kids' table.

Under 12 will sit with their parents.

I'm trying to avoid having a "kids" table. I'm seating kids with their parents(our kids will be seating with family). I have ran into a slight space issue and thinking about having a young adult table to free up more space at other tables. I haven't attempted it yet though.
