Wedding invitations with a kids club: dance all night

A kids club written into the digital invitation answers the question every parent asks: are we bringing the children or booking a sitter? Here's what to write and where.

A kids club written into the digital invitation answers the question every parent asks: are we bringing the children or booking a sitter? Here's what to write and where.

It's three weeks before the wedding and your phone buzzes. A friend wants one thing sorted before she books anything: are the children invited, and if they are, who is watching them while she dances? That second question is the one that decides whether she comes.

Wedding invitations with a kids club answer that question in the first scene, not in a group chat. Write the hours, the ages and the person in charge, and you stop fielding the same message eleven times.

Wedding invitations with a kids club: write it before the menu

Right under the date and the venue, in the opening scene, add three lines: 'Kids club from 9 pm to 12:30 am · room next to the dining hall · ages 3 to 10.' That's the detail a parent scans for before reading what's for dinner. A guest who sees 'kids club' with no time and no age range opens WhatsApp and asks. With the slot written down, the question never arrives.

  • Opening and closing time, with the first dance as the reference if the schedule is loose.
  • Age range, and whether older siblings outside it can join.
  • Drop-off and pick-up point, plus the name of the person or company in charge.
  • What happens if the space is outdoors and it rains: plan B in one line.

Hours, ages, and who is in charge

Anchor the opening time to something guests already know: 'the kids club opens when the first song starts, and closes at 12:30 am.' Now a parent knows exactly when they can walk to the dance floor. Give a real age range — 3 to 10, not 'all children'. A number helps someone decide whether to bring the twins and leave the teenager at home. And name the person at the door: 'drop-off and pick-up in the fireplace room, with Mónica' says more than 'supervisors will be available'.

If there's no children's plan at your wedding, say that just as clearly. 'Adults-only celebration' is a sentence a guest can plan around. Silence isn't, and it sends someone hunting for a babysitter on Thursday afternoon.

A kids club isn't an extra next to the menu. It's logistics, and it deserves its own scene.

Give the children's corner its own scene

Place a dedicated scene between 'Long dinner' and 'Last dance': a heading like 'Kids corner', one line of text, one time. The invitation reads like a story, and the children's part doesn't disappear among the practical details. Use your own photo — the empty room with the low tables and the small chairs — instead of a stock image. You can add up to six photos, cover and decorative, and they frame themselves. Each text field holds one detail with a character counter, so the room name, the age range and the time stay readable on a phone screen without getting cut off.

Confirm how many children are coming, without chasing anyone

Confirmations arrive inside the invitation, in one ordered list. You set the RSVP questions yourself, so a line as simple as 'how many children are you bringing?' tells you the number before you brief the kids club team. Guests install nothing: they open the link in the browser on their phone and answer in two taps, which the parent holding a toddler in one arm appreciates. If the kids club moves from 9 pm to 9:30 pm because dinner ran long, you edit the scene and publish, and the link stays the same — same for the map, the venue or the dress code. If a grandparent wants the details on paper, print a few copies for the people who'll keep them; the link stays the channel for everyone else. Your celebration starts here: find an invitation that feels like you, €29.99 once, and edit it as many times as the plan changes.
