FH and I have probably 11 kids/ young teens coming to the wedding. A few are around the same elementary school age and the rest are 13-16. Do you think I should put similar ages together at a table or keep them with cousins/parents? Not everyone will know each other but I feel like some of them have similar personalities and would really get along (and are not very shy). I have a cousin table already which I’m not counting in this number because they are our age (25-29) but the next cousin is 14. I’m thinking the 14 year old wouldn’t want to be with his 9 year old sister but he might have to. Should I put the 14 year old with other teen boys and his sister with my elementary school age nephews? My tables will have 8 or 9 people each so I’m just trying to make sure everyone has a good time with who they sit next to. I’m also thinking way too much into this. Thanks!

I am having 28 children at my wedding and I am seating them all with their parents. I assume behavior will be much improved when next to parents! I did arrange my tables so all the children have another family with children at their table (i.e. no child with just adults).

If they don’t already know each other, the kids should probably be seated with their parents.

Seat them with their parents. Having experienced kids tables, they should be banned.

The children should be seated with their parents for dinner, even more so if they know each other. You can choose to provide a separate table for after dinner if you choose.

We are having about 15 kids at our wedding. They all know each other so they will be sitting at their own table. They're all between 10 & 15 and well behaved so no worries there. They'll have way more fun with each other rather than having to sit through dinner listening to boring adult conversation. 😁

We have about 30kids total and they know each other so we are sandwiching kids table between their parents table, that way they are on their own but close enough for mom &dad to just turn around if need be.

I would seat children with their parents. After dinner most guests kinda float freely around and kids can mingle then.

We only had 6. Put we sat them with their parents or family members if parents were in the wedding and we gave them crayons and coloring books. I think they would not stay at a table together but maybe they would depending on ago

I'm putting all kids with their parents. I think they will be WAY more behaved with their parents. I'm putting a coloring book on the kids place settings with crayons, so they can occupy themselves if needed. If the kids want to play together later, they will find each other I'm sure.

We are doing a kids room that has some cheap games where they can watch a movie. This room is optional for them

As a parent please put kids with their parents. Parents will bring things to keep them occupied however it is sweet of you to have other stuff I am sure the kids will like as well!

That is what I thought. They said we can turn the bridal sweet for a kids room so I figured we can bring a tablet and turn on a movie for them. So if they want the can get in PJs watch a movie or say at the reception. I know our ring bearers brother the last wedding he went to announced weddings were a waste of his time. 😆 LOL.
