Kid-Friendly Care Package
A Kid-Friendly Care Package is an easy way to ensure optimal enjoyment for the little ones. Include various toys and games that will even make the adults envious. Simple card games or Silly Putty (tablecloth allowing) will keep their attention. Skip the markers in favor of crayons, and give them disposable cameras to capture the night. Just be sure to ask for doubles of their candid pictures!
Kids Only Corner
Create a Kids Only Corner, complete with crayons (markers stain clothing, making moms mad) and crafts to keep the little ones entertained. You may even catch a grown-up trying to join the fun.
