Ideas for Balcony

So my reception is at a banquet hall that has a pretty big balcony right off of it, people can go out there and smoke, whatever. And the weather has been pretty consistent that it's going to be about 70 and sunny so I'd love for people to be able to hang out there.

There's a table or two and bunch of chairs but it's pretty spacious.
Since we have a lot of kids I was trying to think of some activities or games I could set up out there, or even for the adults to do too if they don't want to just dance.
Does anyone have some suggestions? I was already going to get bubbles for the kids to do outside.

So my first thought is that if adults are going out there to smoke or get away from the noise, I wouldn't set up things for kids to do out there. I'm not sure how big the balcony is but, if its really big I would section it off. Have a smoking section on one side if you are going to have multiple things going on out there. If there is one thing I hate its going out for quiet and fresh air and having to endure cigarette smoke.

I would be concerned about people smoking out there. It would have to be a pretty big balcony with lots of room to keep the smoke away from people who want to hang out or play games.

It is pretty big and then there's even a smaller strip along the side of the other wall.

Not sure about for the kiddos but what about setting up a cigar bar?

Thank you for the idea, but I was thinking something a little more family friendly. Plus my mom would freak after all the crap I've given her about how she needs to stop smoking over the last 20 years if I started handing out cigars at my wedding!

How about bubbles, some card games, maybe an I spy activity book for the kids?

Kids can usuallly make up their own games too, but I’m sure they will be dancing probably more than the adults.
