-candy centerpice instead of flowers
-coloring books and crayons
-the kids will have paper plates and cups

Any other ideas??

We are doing something similar, our kids tables ( two tables) will also have candy centerpieces with coloring books and crayons.
i would also suggest having a childrens menu. we are. it cost alot less than having the children eat the same thing as the adults.

i found alot of site the other wedding where you can print off free wedding coloring books so i am going to do that and then make a cover on them and may or may not put their names on them i was also thinking of maybe putting a deck of cards on the table since a few of the kides will be a little older and may not like the coloring book thing

no kids invited except for the ones in the wedding party; and they will be with their parents!!

i don't believe in paying for children to eat, when we know they won't even finish their plates.

I only have a few children coming to my wedding, so I'm just going to give the FG and RB a coloring book and bag with goodies.  But this is an excellent idea! I especially love the centerpiece.

I'm doing something like this :) Paper table cloth instead of linens, candy instead of flower, cloring books that i will print offline, and i'm making some cool crayons i saw on someone else's blog :)

I can't really think of anything else..

I am using white butcher paper to wrap the table so they can color on it I am adding these cool crayons that found-I have taken branches and dipped in glitter and covered the branches with candy so they have sweet tree centerpiece- I have glow necklaces and bracelets and beachballs and other gimmicks that the dj is incorporating to get the crowd going and we are having a lakeside wedding so the beachballs are perfect!

We're gonna have 30 kids if all parents bring them along, so seating a large number of kids together without their parents would be disaster for us.  We're just gonna get the kids to sit with their parents and give them a bag of activity book, crayons, candies and not sure what else.  And they'd have their own kids meal (most likely pasta).  I disagree with Mrs. Mayes, to invite the kids but not feed them is unacceptable to me.  I could care less if they're 2 and only eat a bite.  But that's just me.

I am also doing a kids table with activities (see my blog) but am nixing the candy centerpieces. I don't want them on a sugar high!! ;)
