Remind us - how old are 'the 3 older ones'?
Being a teacher I would say you need to differentiate the lists - either give them different lists of give the younger ones only the lists.

I think I may try and get few activity books etc aswell for the younger ones, so if you come across anything good Tracey please share as I keep forgetting to look myself when Im out and about.

The kids ages are
girl aged 12
boy aged 12
girl aged 11
girl aged 9 X2
girl aged 7
girl aged 5
girl aged 4

Im thinking the boy aged 12 may not even want to do it, but thought ill give him a camera if he wants to take random pics, if not Im sure it will be used at some point by someone!!

MrsDrink

I think if I was doing it I'd give the 4, 5 and 7 yr olds the same list, the two 9 year olds a different list, and the 11 and 12 yr olds no list but instructions for them to take random photos

PinkPrincess83

Cool, I think I may go with that, it means I can start to put a list together, which means something weddinging to do!!:j

Ive already decided Im going to start it off though on the instructions (even for the older ones) to take a picture of their name place card (just so ill know whose camera belong to who ones they are developed, or put onto a disk!!).

Oh I think ill use my some of spare blank invite cards as a little instruction manual, can pretty it up with my pink butterflies aswell.:)

I will let you know If I spot any cheap. It is mainly my Mum doing this though. I think she has brought most of the stuff from car boot sales and 99p/£1 stores

Maybe I should delegate the activity bags to my mum!!

I think that is a brilliant idea!!

You're not allowed to talk about differentiation during the holidays! It's illegal!

If he's a 'boyish' how about getting him to take photos relating to more blokey things... Pints on a table, people pulling stupid faces, someone drunk etc. Or how about giving the older ones words or themes.. e.g "flash" could be an interesting one! Xx

And if you were to make it a competition (e.g big bar of choc for the best photos) you might find he gets more involved! Even if he doesn't at leadt the options there, you'll still get loads of pics from rhe others. X

PinkPrincess83

Oh thats a good idea Mel. I think im going to start writing ideas down as and when I think of things and then I hopefully will have loads of ideas and I can then put them into different catergories going by age. Oh doesnt know it yet but one thing will be the grooms socks!!

And as and when the day comes together more Ill be able to get more of an idea of who will definately be there and how I can use the guest list to get random pics!
