Weddings are beautiful, elegant events where adults enjoy good food and company. But kids don’t usually enjoy the event, and if the host doesn’t organize special activities for them, they’ll get bored.
They may get some fun if there are other children around that can become temporary play companions, but this is not always the case. So, if you’re going to a wedding where there are not that many children about the same age, it’s best to plan ahead. I know from experience that bringing their favorite toy is a great way to keep them busy while you get to have a little fun as well.
But what if their favorite toy is an RC car? Is it OK to bring a huge truck into a wedding and let your kid drive it through the guests? Well, no, a big RC truck will definitely disturb everyone’s fun and you’ll become an unwanted wedding crasher.
When it comes to toys, it’s best to be small, silent, and interesting for the kid. So, for parents who want to bring balance into their lives, below you can see a list of the most recommended RC toys you can bring to a wedding.
#1: Mini RC cars
Only a few inches long and wide, these cars can easily fit in your purse (including the controller). They are tiny and cute which also means they won’t make too much noise while your kid is playing. Even more, such a small car doesn’t have too much range so children can’t drive it too far without having to follow it into the crowd.
Word of advice: get some extra batteries or a charger as well – the run time is short and your child may be without occupations pretty soon.
#2: A boat
If the restaurant has a pool or even a fountain, you can get your kid an RC boat. Of course, you should first check with the restaurant if they accept RC toys in their pool or fountain before you start shopping.
For a wedding, I recommend getting a boat with a small engine so it doesn’t make too much noise. There are many models online, and you can find in-depth reviews on sites like RC Rank, where you can learn more about power and battery life.
#3: An RC Truck
This is only recommended if the wedding is held in a location with a big yard or an outdoor playground. Trucks are usually big and loud but they are also a lot of fun and they’ll drive focus from all the kids around. So, you can say your RC truck will keep all the kids busy.

#4: A mini helicopter or a mini-quad
Again, this toy is only for outdoors! I also recommend the small versions because they can’t be flown too far or for too long. Both the helicopter and the drone can have cameras attached so your kid may have fun filming a few shots of the wedding or taking pictures.
