Kids Coming To Your Big Day..?

And they are always so well behaved, right…..?

Let me just answer by quoting Father Ted and say ok, “that’s Dreams – this is reality”

It’s going to be a long day!

Deciding to have kids present on your big day needs a bit of additional planning and thinking outside the box. This will guarantee a fun and stress free day for all!

We think the easiest solution is to source a Children’s Entertainment Provider that is fully insured for a set length of time, at a time of maximum benefit to your Reception dinner.

A great idea is to have the children fed before the adults. That way they can start the entertainment when all adult guests start eating. The parents get to enjoy their meal in peace – knowing the kids are fed and safe.  A win win and some definite kudos to you the wedding couple! ;)

We have a truly unique solution for you that will offer a Wow factor for kids and Adults alike.. Check out  “Electric Zoo.”  We provide battery operated electronic animals that the kids can drive! They travel at approximately 5km p/h – so fast enough to be exciting but not too fast, so kids from 3 years of age up can safely enjoy them!  They are plush and cuddly and extremely tactile! Kids of all ages just fall in love with them! They can also provide some of the quirkiest wedding photo opportunities of the day!

All packages include a staff member who takes care of fair turn taking and allows the adult guests some time out! Electric Zoo have packages to suit every budget and can include additional party games, Balloon modelling and a fun personalised photo cartoon cut out! The additional games can be handy to keep the fun flowing in between turn taking on the animals – who are always the stars of the show!

We can provide a smooth flat floor surface if the designated entertainment area is carpeted. Or indeed, if you wish to have the kids entertained outside, the floor can be laid on grass and a Marquee can be provided also!

Often couples want the entertainment to be in the same room as their function and so a cornered off area towards the back or side of the room is essential.

With this scenario you need to give some thought as to which guests you seat nearest this area.

Kid tolerant guests with a sense of humour would be our recommendation as the giggles and squeals of the kids can get a bit loud! The guests nearest the entertainment area does not necessarily have to be the parents of the kids either. Especially if your aim is to allow the parents a few hours to have their dinner in peace!

You may of course choose to have the entertainment set up in another room, this can work particularly well if you time the entertainment to be around the speeches. Cos trust me – the heartfelt Father of the Groom monologue which has everyone welling up, is exactly the time half the toddlers will need the loo!

And remember providing a really different, fun, party entertainment for your youngest guests can also provide you with a valuable bargaining tool. By giving the Kids a few hours of serious fun entertainment, how could they possibly refuse heading back to their rooms at bed time!?

Exhausted from laughing and driving our unique Electric Zoo animals – the kids will be ready to fall into bed – leaving the Adults to dance and party the night away!

The next day – they will still be talking about the fun they had and your status as the Best Aunty/Mam etc. ever will have increased 100%.
