    Whether or not you choose to invite kids to your wedding is totally up to you, but if you do include the little ones, it's your responsibility to make sure there is plenty of age-appropriate entertainment available. And while creating a goodie bag of kid-friendly wedding favors may not be on the top of your bridal to-do list, making sure the children's table is well-stocked with toys and activities is the only way to prevent a total toddler meltdown. (It's easier for a three year-old to take down a wedding cake than you think!) What's more, you'll earn the gratitude of the youngsters' parents, who, thanks to your carefully curated kiddie setup, might actually get to enjoy the wedding-and eat their entrée while it's still warm.
