Kids table or seat families together?

I would definitely seat the children with their parents for dinner. A kids table with activities for them to do during open dance floor time is nice though.

I'd seat them with the parents.

With their parents. I would want my son right next to me, so I could rein him in if he got too rowdy. Lol.

I had a kids tables. We had 8 kids (2 under 3) the big kids sat at a table of just kids and the 2 littles sat with their parents. But, the 3 year old wound up running(no literal running involved) around with the other kids for a little while after dinner. I think it worked well fun was had by both kids and adults.

I don’t think I would seat a kid under around 10 without their parents.

Have a Kids table for the 6 yo and up.

Rhe little ones need to sit with their Parents.

Congratulations!

I would keep the under 3's with parents as they tend to be more unruly. However if the others are well behaved, I see no reason they cant sit together; especially your own kids. it would be good to have maybe coloring books and crayons at a kids table to keep them occupied and keep all the kid activities in one place.

I didn't want a kids table, I think kids behave much more when seated by their parents plus some parents/kids prefer to sit by each other when they are eating.

We’re having about 6 kids at our wedding. We’re having them sit with their parents at dinner but there will be a table off to the side with a bunch of kids activities also. We’re close with all of the parents (nieces and nephew) so we were able to explain to them what that table was for.

I think you should assign seats for everyone in general not just the kids. For those 6 and above it might be fine to be alone but could get a little loud if they start playing with each other during dinner and speeches. I’ll also see if the parents are comfortable of that. The ones under 3 for sure I wouldn’t. I would assign the kids with the parents and have a play area or table for them with some games that they can use after dancing starts.

View Quoted Comment Is so this but out location is very small so I only am having one place for them to sit. Honestly I see them only sitting while they eat. It’s at a lodge that we are staying at the weekend. We are the only ones there.

I think even with a small guest list sitting children with their parents is the best choice. I have a large family and for holidays the moms are constantly getting their kids food and helping them. It just makes more sense

We put kids with their families, unless it was like "kids" but they were in their 20s--then we put them at the 20s table.

Families together for sure for younger kids. We had a few tables that were just cousins and seated their parents together, but they were anywhere from 17 to 35 - so not really kids. I wouldn't stick a bunch of younger kids at a table together.

I would keep families together for dinner but then also provide an activity table to keep elementary-aged kids occupied if you’re going to have a significant amount of them. Tweens and above will probably be content talking and dancing, but little ones might need some toys to keep them content so their parents can dance and enjoy themselves. Maybe a table off to the side with some coloring/activity sheets, a basket of legos, and some bubbles so they can entertain themselves?

Maybe if you put the kids table in between where their parents will all be sitting ?

You sound like us, 6 kids and all! Lol I'm just doing our head table with our kids ( they're the only ones standing with us) and no seating chart since our wedding will be small
