I'm getting married in 2021 and have been looking briefly at seating plans for our guests. We're allowing kids at the wedding because so many of my close family have young kids (my dad and step mum will have a 2 year old at the wedding too) so there will be approx 10 kids ranging from 2 - 14 years.
I thought the best thing would be to have a 'kid's table' for all aged 5 to 14, so that they can all play and entertain one another, especially if we have games for them or something.
But a family member dropped it in conversation that they expect to be sitting with their kids. All of the kids going have young siblings, so every one of them will know another child. But now I don't know if a kid's table is the right thing to do.
I don't want families to feel like they have to be separated/constantly watching their kids, but I hoped that a kid's table would allow the adults to enjoy their food a little more. I know years ago when I was a kid, I was sat at kid's tables at weddings and had no problem with it, but am now feeling like I'm making the wrong choice.
Has anyone else had a kid's table at their wedding? Or is it a recipe for disaster with kids constantly running to find their parents?
