Glitter Festival Makeup or Face Painting
Planning a wedding can be time consuming, when couples hire me to help them continue the planning process, I always get excited when they mentioned children at their wedding. How to keep children entertained at your wedding is an art in itself, with one of my top favourite activities being a glitter festival makeup artist or children's face painter. More often than not, adults get involved with it too as part of the fun! You can usually expect your makeup artist to be there entertaining children for around 1-2 hours, a great way to keep them busy whilst adults are having their welcome drinks.
Hire in Garden Games
Always a popular one with how to keep children entertained at your wedding! Both adults and children love the garden games when it comes to a country wedding and I think it always adds that rustic feel to the vibe. There are many suppliers based in and around Sussex that can offer many different types of lawn games to suit the design of your wedding. Coconut shys, giant connect 4 and jenga for your wedding are all among the possibilities. If you're sticking to a budget, these won't break the bank either!
