Reception Bags for the kids..

Just some updates on stuff..

So I totally played hooky today at work...so I could get some stuff done for the wedding, and so I could get my tan onnnn. Every weekend it seems to be crappy weather, and it was beautiful all week, so I totally took advantage of it today!
So this morning I put myself to work and put together the bags for the little kids, and the favours for the older kids for the wedding.

For the little ones (ages 3-5) I put together little bags which include: bubbles, colouring books, crayons, stickers, hot wheels cars for the boys, my little pony toys for the girls, some goldfish, fruit snacks, and some light up bracelets for the party. I made the bags so that they would fit in with the table decor a little bit.

For the older kids (ages 8-12) I gave each of them a disposable wedding camera with a photo scavenger hunt list. These guys are older so don't really need 'toys' but thought it would be nice to give them something to do other than just listen to the grown ups talk, haha.

I also wrapped all my bridal party gifts..and started organizing the tubs of stuff I have to give my decorator/day of coordinator!

What a truly productive day!! :D

Can you share with me what the "I am your camera...." paper read? I think it's such a cute idea to giveaway the scavenger hunt game with disposable camera to keep the kids occupied.

Yep..the camera sheet says:
"I am your camera, so scavenge around
Hunt for those pictures that need to be found!
Shoot away and complete the list,
Find moments that the photographer may have missed.
Snap away the best you're able,
Then leave me right here at your table!"

And then I put a list of like 8 or 10 different pics that I would want them to take.. each kid got a different list of pictures.
things like:
-bride and groom kissing
-best man speech
-picture of the cake
-cutest kid
-best dancer
-etc etc..the options are endless..

This is really cute! and if I had more kids at the wedding I would totally do the scavenger hunt thing! I made sand buckets for the 2 kids I have in my wedding, putting similar items you have listed in them =)

You make me feel behind!! So much to do!
