If you will have a Candy Bar at your wedding, the most convenient thing to do is to prepare individual bags for each person with a mix of sweets. This way, the sweet corner will not be invaded all the time by the little ones, who will be happy with their packages.

That is, if possibleintegrate healthier snacks into the bags, for example, cereal or baby goats.

Finally, always in the organization of a wedding, the proof of the menu is fundamental, including the children's. And only then will you be satisfied with what you will offer to your youngest guests, or you will be in time to modify or add something. For example, if you think that a hamburger with fries will be too fried, ask the caterer to add an extra tomato.
