Best Activities For Kids At Your Wedding Rehearsal Dinner
Your guests with children will certainly appreciate a kid friendly wedding rehearsal dinner! Our wedding rehearsal dinner advice for hosting kids is to make it fun for them, too! Take a little time to plan out some specials touches for the kids. Activities, foods, and maybe even their own space! They’ll love it, and so will you.
Activities are going to be so important for hosting kids at your rehearsal dinner. While gifts for your ring bearer, flower girl and any other children included in your wedding celebration may also help, in today’s rehearsal dinner ideas and inspiration post we’re going to share our suggestions of activities for kids at your rehearsal dinner. (And, if you’re interested in our gift ideas, too…check out the gifts to give your ring bearer and flower girl post)

Do Children Attend The Wedding Rehearsal Dinner?
Do you have to invite kids to your rehearsal dinner? Certainly not. But, the kids can often make it more fun! Depending upon your venue, there may be a perfect spot for the kids to have their own area.
Inviting kids to your rehearsal dinner is a really nice gesture. Your guests that are parents are going to appreciate it.
Even if you aren’t inviting children to your wedding, the rehearsal dinner may be an appropriate time to invite them. This allows all of your family and friends who are gathering together or traveling from out of the area to see those children in your family and friends groups.
Which Children Are Invited To The Rehearsal Dinner?
Again, this is a personal opinion and a decision that’s up to you and your fiance. You likely have a flower girl and ring bearer included in your wedding celebrations, so we always recommend inviting these VIP kids to your rehearsal dinner. If you have any other children included in your bridal party or wedding ceremony, you’ll want to be sure to invite them to the rehearsal dinner too - think junior bridesmaids, or maybe children who are invited to play a role in the ceremony by helping with a tradition or reciting a saying.
What Do Kids Do At Rehearsal Dinners?
This is where planning comes in clutch! Activities, activities, activities! If you have some fun and unique activities prepared for the kids to enjoy at your rehearsal dinner, everyone will appreciate it. The kids will enjoy it, the parents will appreciate it and you’ll love watching it all come together.
From coloring books, to games to even painting activities or decorate your own desserts…there are so many creative ways to keep the children entertained at your rehearsal dinner and we have just the suggestions for you below! Don’t miss our designs that can be personalized including kids activities like coloring placemats, a coloring booklet and even a crayon box wrapper as a complimentary bonus if you purchase the kids activity bundle!
Consider creating a kids station with fun games, activities, and snacks…especially set aside for the kids! You’ll love these ideas from Etsy.
