If you’re having little ones at your event, here are a few tricks to keep kids of all ages entertained.

• Encourage Creativity – Prepare a small table with arts-and-crafts supplies like crayons, paper, and bubbles.

• Hire Childcare Staff – Let the parents off the hook by hiring a few childcare providers to keep an eye on the wee ones. Check to see if the Reception place might have an empty room across the hall so that they can keep a close watch.

• Keep Them Active – Set up a sports-corner or have an extra room provided with hula-hoops, jump ropes, and ping-pong tables.

• Entertain – Think magician, face painter, or clown to keep the kids giggling for a few hours.

• Order Special Food – Chicken legs and mac-and-cheese will not only help keep your costs down, but will keep the kids content while the parents are feasting.
