Hey brides, instead of reinventing the wheel, we found this awesome article on theknot.com. We hope that you enjoy! Even the cutest of flower girls and ring bearers will need some kid-friendly entertainment at the reception. While parents are sipping cocktails, giving toasts and catching up, keep the kids busy with fun activities that make them feel included in the festivities, too.
