Entertaining little ones with The Chiswick Gift Co
Worried about idle hands causing havoc on your big day? The Chiswick Gift Company has a whole host of new products designed with little ones in mind, to keep them entertained during the 'boring' parts of the day such as the 'speeches' and 'photographs' - why listen to the adults when you can be having fun right?
If having three babies in a single year doesn't an expert on child wrangling make, we're not sure what does. Sarah Watts, the founder of the Chiswick Gift Company has been writing and designing award-winning gifts for little ones ever since her little ones were, well, little. She was also brought up by a primary school teacher who could make a game up by using just a piece of fluff. So producing a range of memory books and activity packs for children was pretty much Sarah's destiny.
Children aged 5-12 will love listening in on conversations to play 'word bingo,' can watch the couple's first dance and score it on a scale of 1-10 and recording events in the memory books including 'this is my day as a flowergirl/pageboy/bridesmaid'.
Pssst! There's stuff for the adults too such as planning doodle pads and the company's bestselling Anniversary Book!

Bye Bye Sweet Caroline: The Classic Anthems BANNED From UK Weddings
The era of the predictable wedding singalong is officially dead, according to new data from entertainment agency Jonny Ross Music. New figures have revealed that Britain's couples are ruthlessly blacklisting the nation's favourite party anthems from their big days. A shocking analysis of playlist requests shows that legendary floor-fillers are being banished to the 'Do Not Play' list. Modern couples are ordering DJs to completely snub overplayed staples like 'Uptown Funk' and 'Mr Brightside'. But Brits are not turning their backs on the dancefloor. Instead of relying on default reception cheese, millennial newlyweds are demanding authentic club vibes that replicate a proper night out.

The British Wedding Tradition Most Guests Never Question
Most wedding guests have heard the phrase "wedding breakfast", but very few stop to question it. After all, the meal is rarely served in the morning. It usually comes after the ceremony, often in the afternoon, and can involve anything from a formal three-course dinner to sharing boards, canapes, grazing tables and dessert stations.
