This idea of a coloring book is great because it keeps the children in one place! Bundle up some crayons to hand out as well. Make sure to include your wedding colors in the crayon bundle. This activity can be for the ceremony or reception!

Scavenger Hunt

The scavenger hunt is great for the active child with lots of energy. It allows them to run around and interact with people! Give each child a disposable camera and develop the film later. You will have a fun time looking through all of the pictures!
