THE hardest guests to please at a wedding have to be the children – particularly the under fives.

While the adults lavish their way through the buffet, and well-up over the speeches, all little children will be thinking about is how to reach the nearest escape route or how much icing they could lick off the wedding cake before the bride and groom notice.

This is where goody bags can be a Godsend.

A premium provider of these is All About Party Bags, an online company set-up nearly five years ago.

Starting-off providing party bags and loot bags for birthday parties, the business soon realised that many people were actually buying the bags for weddings too, wanting ‘quiet’ toys to keep even the most fidgety of four-year-olds happy.

While many competitors include noisy toys, All About Party Bags don’t include them at all, tending to favour games, drawing pads and activity sticker books – all items that will occupy children without help from adults.

Goody bags from All About Party Bags cater for children from birth to 15-years-old, with an enormous amount of variety available and the chance to colour coordinate bags to match your wedding theme.

Bags include clear, pink, purple or hearts cellophane bags, organza drawstring bags in eight colours and deluxe bags in silver, gold or pink, with themes ranging from fairies and princesses to pirates, aliens and dinosaurs.

Prices are reasonable too, ranging from £1.70 up to £15 each, with the chance to personalise and customise the items when £10 is spent on bags bought in bulk.

Popular bags include:

Country Garden: £2.20 including a ladybird notepad, ladybird stickers, a wooden bracelet and a pencil.

Fairies: £2.40 including a sticker activity book, box of colouring pencils, fairy wand, writing pencil, butterfly maze and a set of two crystal hairclips.

Princess: £1.70 including a sticker activity book, sheet of stickers, writing pencil and colouring pencils.

Busy wedding bag: £1.70 including dot to dot,  sheet of stickers, blowball pipe and colouring pencils.

There’s no minimum order and next day delivery is available.
