Kids Table

Deciding whether to have an adult only reception or a reception that welcomes all ages doesn’t have to be a tough decision. Some view kids at the reception as a daunting idea with the screaming and crying all night long, but it doesn’t have to be like that! 

One thing you can do is place a table in a corner of the room with games and coloring books for children. Having options rather than just dancing will help keep children happy and entertained throughout the reception.

Another idea is to have all the kids sit at one table during the reception. You can have their table kid friendly with a different fun center piece such as candy or toys. Place puzzles and games at their table that they can do during the reception. 

Pew Decorations

When it came to decorations for the church for my wedding, I didn't really want to do too many . It was pretty the way it was and whenever I thought of decorations for the church it always came back to flowers and maybe bows. I wanted something unique, and that's when I found Pintterest. To decorate the pews at our wedding we ended up tying ribbon to baby pictures of us on either side all the way up to when we started dating. You could also do just pictures while of the couple while they were dating or engagement pictures. 

Another option I saw was similar to the photos, but with quotes or bible verses like 'Love is patient, Love is kind.' 

Another cool idea, is to have small lanterns hang from the pew with a battery operated candle in it. This is also a great way to add a little extra light.
