I cannot tell you how many thank yous and various positive comments we have had after entertaining little ones at weddings and christenings. A couple of Mums recently (Sefton Cricket Club, Liverpool) admitted it was the first time in ages they had been able to have a decent uninterrupted conversation.

There is a lot of choice for entertainment options at a wedding or christening, we may entertain the children but they certainly are not the only ones that benefit, gone are the days when a parent is so busy entertaining their children that they don't manage to have a sensible conversation or enjoy an event as an adult. Even those that are not hiring a mobile creche or children's entertainer can do much to help the time pass more enjoyably, check out my article below about good activity ideas.
