While Macs and I hoped for an adults-only celebration, it wasn’t in the cards. A few of our nearest and dearest are traveling great lengths (we’re talking internationally) to come celebrate with us. There’s no way we’d expect them to leave their little ones back home, let alone at a hotel with a sitter they’ve never met.

Everyone has assured me their children are well behaved but I’d like to stack the deck in our favor just to be safe. I know the foofers will be a big hit, what toddler doesn’t like throwing things? But I needed something else to keep them occupied up until that point.

Coloring books are quite popular but any old ones simply wouldn’t do. I was going to illustrate my own (yes, I’m that crazy) but that idea was immediately thrown out the window when I found these:

Can you believe it?! I love that we’re able to give each of them a copy of my favorite childhood story and our ceremony reading. At forty-eight pages long, it also means ample quiet time for even the quickest colorer. I really hope our friends appreciate the book just as much as the little ones.

Will you have younger guests at your wedding? What are you doing to keep them entertained?
