Ring Toss is an easy game for young and old to enjoy. It doesn't require adult supervision. If you have a teenager who can assist and keep an eye on the little ones, this game is definitely a winner for keeping the little ones busy at your wedding.
Build your own centerpiece. If you have a box or bottles filled with different shapes and sizes lego block be sure that the kids will be entertained. They might want to see who can build the biggest centerpiece. This will surely keep them busy for a while.
It's always a good idea to let the kids sit separately from the adults, especially during the time of speeches. You can ask a teenager you know to keep an eye on them, or maybe the venue will have a staff member they can provide to look after the kids table. Give them each a bottle filled with some treats and something to play with.

Create a kids theme for your wedding. Something like this will make them feel safe. A place where they can sit and chat, eat a few snacks and be away from adult conversations. They can play activities like hide and seek, or card games while sitting in such a cute tent.
Preparing a special gift bag for each kid will definitely make them feel welcome. It can be filled with a cheap coloring book, a few crayons and maybe a snack or two.
This is also a really good idea. Give each kid his or her own clip board with copies of different coloring pictures and crayons. This way there will be no fighting over crayons or papers. Rest assure that this will keep them entertained for a good part of the evening.
