Children’s Wedding Party Bags

When I was at the National Wedding Show at London Olympia last year I came across an excellent little company that specialised in entertaining the little ones on the big day.  I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the company and I cannot find them online.  It will come to me later I am sure and I’ll write about them as soon as find out.

In the meantime, I did come across Event Smiles that specialise in party bags for the children at you wedding.  This company impressed me, not so much for the content inside the bags, but more for the fact that they packaged in a pretty box rather than a cheap tacky bag that is more suited to a birthday party rather than a wedding reception.  These boxes come in one of 8 colours and they even do matching favours so that they blend in with the rest of the wedding theme.

Event Smiles call these boxes of fun ‘smiles’ which ‘contain quality toys and creative products with the emphasis being on quality non-messy tabletop play’.  Sounds good to me.  Dont get me wrong, I have two children myself and I love them to bits but anything that is going to keep them quiet for a couple of hours (especially on the most important day of life*) then these are worth every penny of the £9.99 that Event Smiles charge for these goodies.

 The boxes are conveniently categorised into age and of course gender.  I picked two of them to have a closer look inside.

Each childrens party box can be personalised with the child’s initials.  This is a great touch and you will be surprised how the little ones pick up on the little touches like that and are likely to keep their special little box for years and years to come.
