How Do You Entertain Four And Five Year Olds At A Wedding Reception?
I have to watch my dad’s girlfriend’s son and nephew for a wedding reception. I’m not sure what to do if one wants to go back to the hotel room to sleep and the other wants to stay there. And what should I do if a boy wants to dance with me? Should I stay with the boys or dance with the dude? Please answer, it will help!!!

I would bring coloring books and crayons in case the kids want to sit down and color. Or get them to dance with you.
trust me, neither boy is going to want to go back to the room and sleep. They might conk out on the floor, but children dont voluntarily leave the action. Stay with the children, do the duty that you’ve been asked to do at the reception, and if a fellow wants to dance with you, you just have to tell him you promised to stay with the children.
Stay with the boys, afterall, you are going to be responsible for them. If a guy asks to dance just bring along the lil boogers. lol… Bring them a lollipop and promise them something they like if they behave you’ll give ‘em something or something like that. lil kids LOVEEE candy, bring them some candy and put one (the hardest one) on your lap and let them (or the hardest one) fall asleep. . . . Good luck!!!!! I hope this really helped you!!!
Most parents are not comfortable with the idea of their children being in a different building than them (or in a hotel room several floors up from the ballroom). If you are supposed to look after both of them, you can’t abandon either of them. Kids of all ages love to dance.
first off you cant leave the boys they are to young to be left alone for even a minute boys are sneaky and quick. tell the dud eyou cant leave the boys but he can play a game with you and the boys little boys like bigger boys. play games liek you normally would and they will prolly start to tucker out around the same time keep them busy and they will get sleppy quicker.
Put up a candy table and hope that works…
cake. its very entertaining to little kids.
I’m the oldest of 6 kids, one of my little brothers is 5 right now. So I know what kids are like at that age.
When I was planning on having my wedding in the park and inviting all my young second cousins, I planned on creating a craft bag for each kid. Each bag would have a bunch of coloring pages, crayons, and other crafts.
You could tell your dad this idea and see if he’d be willing to give you $20 to go to the craft store and build this activity for the kids. You can print out coloring pages free right off the internet, ask your dad’s girlfriend to have the kids bring their crayons from home. Then you have $20 to go to the craft store and get some craft kits — they have them indivually packaged, like:http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?C…

Try to find ones that they can do by themselves in addition to ones that you will have to help with! This way they still have fun and when you want to go dance with a boy, you can get them really interested in a craft/coloring page and tell them “alright you guys, I’ll be right back, OK? stay right here!” and then just stay close enough that you can see them. The most important thing is to keep the little ones happy so you can enjoy yourself too. Because I have a feeling that if they get upset with you and go “tell” or something you won’t be dancing with any boys for the rest of the night!
I doubt one of them will want to go to bed before the other. It will be very exciting for them.
It’s very nice of you to help out in this way for your dad’s wedding
