**PLEASE READ: Update 3/13/13. The link to download the file is here. And enjoy the new, upgraded photos of the booklet! Also, a few pointers for printing and using the template follow below.
- The template prints best if you actually download it and print from a Preview program. Choose Print Options, then under Scale, select “Fit to Page” for the best results.
- The pages are not out of order. If you are printing at home, print out the page with the car on it, then on the back of that same sheet print the front cover of the booklet (ensuring that it doesn’t end up upside-down). Next, print out the page with the cake on it, and on the back of that same sheet, print out the tic-tac-toe page.
**PLEASE READ: Update 3/20/12. The link to the file is right here; there is no need to ask for it to be emailed to you (although I welcome your comments and love to know that you’re using the project!). In addition, Liebe Erika can be found for purchase here. I cannot, however, send you the font, as it is designed, sold, and owned by someone else. Thank you!
**********
Happy Wednesday, Lovelies! Have I got a present for you! Mr. Lovely and I realized the other day that our wedding is going to be chock full of kiddos, and we didn’t have anything fun for them to do. So I sat right down and started drawing, and ended up with a little activity book that I think they (and you!) are going to love. And you can print it out for free — just because I like you.
All you have to do is click here for the PDF file, hit print, and go make some copies! You’ll have to do a little double-sided action to make the order of the book right, but you get the idea. For a fancy finish, get some baker’s twine, punch two holes in the spine of the book, string the twine through from the inside, and tie a little bow on the outside. Set out some crayons and pencils at your kid table, and they’ll have a ball. Have fun, Lovelies! xoxo
this is adorable! what two fonts did you use on the front?!
The fat one is called Riot Squad, and the skinny one is called Liebe Erica. Two of my faves!
This is such a great book – what skill you have! Do you know if there is a website where you can download the Liebe Erica font? I was able to get the Riot Squad font at urbanfonts.com but can’t seem to find liebe erica! Thanks so much for the great book and advice!
Were you ever able to find liebe erica? I’ve been looking and am not able to find it. Also, what kind of paper did you use? I love it! Thank you so much! This book is so cute and creative!
You can find Liebe Erika here: . Also, I think we printed on a texturized, linen-type paper that we found at Kinko’s. Have fun!
Thanks, Chelsea! The website didn’t post though in your last response… could you email it to me? [email protected]
Thank you again!
Hi Chelsea. Please could you email me the link to the website for Liebe Erika? Thanks!
Please send me the link to download Liebe Erica font!! I am soooo happy I found this thread because I had seen this font elsewhere and ripping my hair out trying to find it! *sigh* You girls just made my day!! ♥
Could you send me the link to download this font?!? LOVE it.
Hi Lauren, if you read the first paragraph in the post (in bold), you’ll find a link to the site where you can purchase the font. Thank you!
Thanks for this idea…I am sure it will be a hit!
What a fantastic idea! We had so few kids at our wedding I barely thought about them but for a wedding with lots of kids this will be great! And so much more wholesome than keeping them quiet with video games!
We did something similar for my sister’s wedding last year. They were a hit! The kids loved them and so did the adults!
Right on!
These are adorable! We have a few kids who will probably be a part of our special day too! Might steal this idea from you!
Can’t wait to see you guys! Let us know if you need anything last minute!
LLL
Steal away! I can’t believe I get to see ya in a few days!
So C.R.E.A.T.I.V.E!
I LOVE this idea! You’ve done an awesome job on it, and kids are so often forgotten about during long wedding days that it’s refreshing to see something so easy able to entertain them! Just gorgeous.
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. We too will have quite a few younger ones at our wedding and I was searching for activity books to put in gift bags to keep them entertained. Thanks very much!
As a mama who has taken her kiddos to a few weddings, I thank you for this idea. I always pack a little coloring book and crayons for them, but this is such a neat idea. You are so sweet to think of the little ones on YOUR special day. Thanks.
What a great idea!! You did a fantastic job!!
I downloaded the pdf hope you don’t mind! 
I will be using it at my upcoming wedding because there will be a TON of kids & I have been contemplating what to have for them!! Thanks so much for posting this!!
This is such a great idea. I have a huge extended family, with at least 20-25 kids expected at the wedding so this is amazing and will hopefully keep them busy! Thanks so much for sharing!
What a wonderful idea you had! Your book is very cute and just right to keep children occupied and still in a ‘wedding’ frame of mind. Great job! You are very talented.
So cute.,. Great idea I hope u can email me the link thank u soo much
Hello, my name is Chelsea Rempel. I am looking for the template for this to be used at my upcoming wedding in September 2012. Could you please send me the link to [email protected]. Thanks!
Such a cute book!! We are having about 20 kids! Yes, 20, at our wedding. We have come up with some great ideas to keep them occupied and I think we will definitely use this great book!
I love this, what a great idea it is. I’m placing this link on my “hints for brides and grooms” section.
thanks so much, I’ll be using it at our wedding!
Does anyone have this on a document that can be printed? Love this idea. If you do send it to me at [email protected]
Hi Michelle,
There’s a link within the blog post so that you can download the document.
Thanks,
Chelsea
What a wonderful idea!
Can you tell me where I can print this template out from? I love it!
Great idea!! Is there a link for the template??
How do I get the pdf please?
OK just realised that the link is in your text and had I read it properly then I would have seen it straight away! Hahaha! Thanks!
Thanks so much for sharing this idea and the printable. My wedding is in June but I am so excited to go ahead and make these for the kids. I am a teacher and will have most of my students at the wedding. This will give them something to do! Thanks again!!
Thank you so much! I will have about 50 kids at my wedding and they will love this! Great idea.
This is a great idea and you put it all together so well
Thank you for sharing.
This is such a fabulous idea! Love it! I have been searching for something for the sweet little ones and this is amazing, absolutely PERFECT! How can I go in and edit, to add my own personal touches? I also printed and the color is very faint….? Please help, would love to have this at my wedding.. Thanks so much and for sharing
Hi Stacey, glad you like it! As far as editing, it’s designed as a .pdf, so it’s not really meant for editing rather than perhaps adding your names to the back, as I mentioned. Also, you may want to check your print settings to get your color darker. Have fun!
Thanks so much for sharing this book! I just wanted to show you what I did with your booklet!
http://coveredinmodpodge.blogspot.com/2012/01/wedding-activity-books-or-fun-for.html
This is FANTASTIC!!! I have been searching dollar stores looking for things to keep the 20 or so kids that will be at our wedding occupied!!
You are awesome!!
I loooveee this idea! Do you mind emailing the pdf to me? I scrolled over the text but did not have any luck!
[email protected] Thanks!
When i saw these i just loved the idea. I was just wondering what kind of paper it is printed on in the picture. Im having a shabby chic wedding. And it looks like its on a brown coarse papar that would go with the vintage theme. Please let me know soon. Thank you.
Hi Marissa,
Unfortunately, I don’t know the exact paper we chose. We did our copying at a FedEx/Kinko’s and perused their paper choices until we found one that we liked. We were able to buy it by the sheet rather than in bulk because we didn’t need that much. I’d suggest going to a copy or paper store and asking to see some samples.
Thanks!
this is great! could you please send the file my way? thanks so much!
I freaking LOVE this idea. I have been trying to come up with a way too keep all the kids coming to our wedding busy and this would be perfect can you please email me a copy of the PDF! to [email protected]
thank you
Sarah
I love the color book! Its very cute and creative. Would you mind sending me the template or PDF?
[email protected]
Thank You,
Whitney
How do I print the free copy?
Hi, Thanks so much for this. It’s great! Just one thing, the print order is not the same as shown in your pictures- instead of the ring on the left and the honeymoon car on the right, the PDF has the pages in order as they would be in the book, so the page with the ring on the left has the cake on the right, which does not work for printing. Is there a way to fix this?
Would you mind forwarding the template to [email protected]? These are wonderful and perfect for my “kid friendly” wedding! Thanks
Would you mind sending me the template as well to [email protected]. What a great idea…you are so creative!
Thank you!
Please send me a copy of this to my email! [email protected]
Hello, This is a great idea but the link isnt working. Can you send to me? [email protected]
Thank you so much
=)
Just checked the link and it seems to be working. Have fun!
Please send me the template too. I love this idea but would love to add our names to the back as well thank you
[email protected]
I was wondering if this link could be sent to my email. [email protected]
this is love!!! Thanks…..
I’m going to have about 10 kids at my wedding! This will be awesome!!
Has anyone had trouble with the font coming out fuzzy for some reason?? Thanks!
Kristen, make sure you check your print settings — that may help with the fuzziness. Thanks!
Thanks for the free printable! I wanted something to keep the flowergirls busy during pictures, etc.
Thanks,
Beth
Can you send me the template please, dear? [email protected]
Thanks so much!
Also love the activity book! So cute! I’d love to have the template via email as well [email protected]
Thank you!!
Chelsea, this is such a great idea! May I have the Liebe Erica font emailed to me too?
This is so awesome. Thanks!
Love this idea, give something to keep the children occupied!
Would I be able to get the template as well?!? [email protected]
Brilliant! Well done! May I use your talent for our wedding-kiddos?? Thank you!!
Definitely Gerilyn! Glad you like it.
This is great!
What size of paper did you use when printing?
This is heaven sent!! I have been stressing on what to do to keep the kids busy during the dinner. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
So glad it’ll be of use for you, Jenny!
Hi Chelsea,
This is such a wonderful idea! Can’t wait to use it for my wedding!
Unfortunately I can’t seem to print it out correctly. Everything I have tried when printing has cut off some of the letters at the sides of each page. Since it is in pdf form, I can’t figure out how to change the margins…
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
THANKS!
I was wanting some coloring books for my reception, so this is awesome. thanks!
I absolutely love this! I was wondering if I could get the template sent to my email! [email protected], my wedding is next weekend and I would love to use this awesome idea!
HI tried downloading from the link you left, but it keeps making my browser crash. Is there another way to download it?
Thanks!
Michelle
Hi Michelle! Not sure what the problem might be — seems to be working fine for me. Maybe try restarting your computer, or try downloading with a different browser program.
Could you please send the template to me at [email protected] ? I am going to have a ton of kids at my wedding and this would be great!
I was wondering if you could send me the template for this. I absolutely love this.
Anyone else having a problem printing? Some of the words are getting cut off and I can’t figure out how to change the margins. Do I need different size paper or something? Love this booklet though and would love to figure it out in time for the wedding!
Hi Alissa, everything seems to be working with the file. When you print, you may want to try the “scale to fit” option on your printer settings and see if that helps. Have fun!
I feel super late…but can you email me this template?!?! It is awesome!
[email protected]
Hi Jonimay, go ahead and read the post — the download link is within the post a few times. Thanks, and have fun!
Help!!! This great idea has me scratching my head trying to find the link to download the fonts. The wedding is 2 weeks away.
Hi Ann, there is no link to download the fonts. The download is solely for the booklet. The font names are Riot Squad and Liebe Erika, if you wish to purchase them. You should be able to find them with a quick Google search. Have fun!
Thanks so much this is FANTASTIC! You are so sweet!
Wow! I love this idea!!! We also are having a bunch of little ones at our wedding in 3 weeks, and I just wasn’t quite sure of what I wanted to get to help entertain them. I have planned a “kids activity” table, but up to this moment, hadn’t gotten anything to put on it! You are a life-saver, I absolutely love this idea!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Best of luck to ya’ll!!!
I know this is probably a stupid question….but I wanted to personalize it like you did…but how do you personalize it?? Like what program do you use?
Thanks so much!
If you could please email me this, that would be great! I have two kids (only two) coming to our wedding and this would be great for them! THank you!!
please send me the templete… I wanted to do something like this for my daughters wedding….
ok sorry I see it at the top now…. great idea… thanks
Great idea! Are you able to share and e-mail this for others to use?
Can u please send me this cute thing thanks
I am SO excited to use this!! I have close to 20 kids coming to the wedding!

Terri
can you please send me this as well? so cute!!!
can you please send me this as well? Thank you!
Hello!
I LOVE this idea! Is there anyway you could change it to represent a gay wedding? My partner and I are having our ceremony in September and would like to have these books printed up for all the kids attending. Is there a way to change some of the format so I could print them off?
Thank you!

Hi Joy! Thanks so much for the request — unfortunately, the files aren’t editable at this point. I am looking at producing a fully customizable one, but that might be down the line a little bit. Thank you again, and congratulations on your engagement! I’ll keep you posted if the new one is available any time soon.
Can you please email me a copy? [email protected]

Hi, this is so great. Thank you
There is just one problem- the pages in the PDF are not like the ones in your photos- for example, the page with the ring on the left has the cake on the right (in reading order instead of printing order) instead of the car. Is there a way to fix this?
Hi Katelyn,
Thanks for your question. The pages are in the right order for printing — they come out correctly once printed and folded together. Some of the photos may be misleading, but I printed from this same PDF and put my books together accordingly. Just shuffle the pages around until they are in order. Thanks, and good luck!
Can you please send me a copy of the activity book thanks!
can i get a copy of the template?
Hi Alex,
The template is free for download within the text of the post. Thank you!
How cute! I so wish you had one I could edit to make it work for a same sex wedding.
Hi Amber! You’re not the first one to ask! I’m actually reconfiguring some things to see if I might be able to do that. Keep an eye on the blog for it!
love this idea, just told my daughter and she said let’s make them. it will keep kids occupied and not running.
thank you,
These are gorgeous. I will definitely use these at our wedding in December. I just printed out a copy to see how cute it is and wanted to ask if light card would be better to use than paper? Well done and thank you for sharing with us all
The paper weight is totally up to you, Nicky! We used a slightly heavier paper with a linen feel to it, just to have a little texture. So glad you’ll be able to use it!
Thanks so much! I just printed these for my nieces to use at the wedding. They are going to love it. Was so easy to use. Thanks for sharing your talents!
What a sweet comment, Ashley — thanks so much. I’m so glad that you’ll be able to use it!
Can you send me the template? please and thank you!

If it’s still available please let me know what I need to do to make the download work on my end. Thank you so much for sharing & for your help

Hi Colleen! Thanks for the heads-up — we were switching servers and the link needed to be refreshed. Try it now, it should work for you!
Thank you for refreshing the link. It uploads super quickly now!! Thank you also for sharing this book with all of us. It’s so awesome.

Thank you so much I am so using these for my wedding! They are awesome!
This is wonderful, thanks so much!
Hi Chelsea! I know you’re probably annoyed as hell by now with everyone asking you to e-mail them the pdf, but I’ve got a problem. The link to the pdf just isn’t working. It opens up to a new tab, but nothing comes. Literally, a blank page. I’ve tried using other people’s computers because I thought maybe it was a problem with my browser, but the same issue comes up. Then, I asked my bestie to try, and it didn’t work for either. Is there any way at all you could email me the pdf? Please, please, please? I beg of you kindly, please? The email you can send it to is [email protected] I would greatly appreciate it!
This is a great idea, I only have a few children at the wedding, but will need something like this to keep them occupied! Please could you send a copy of the PDF to my email [email protected] Many thanks!
Just wanted to thank you for being so generous with this adorable coloring book! I’m so grateful to have another activity for all the kids who will be at my wedding. I know they will love it and appreciate a kid friendly activity while the grown ups mingle! Thanks again!
Hi I love what you made such a pretty idea…could u please send a copy of the .PDF to [email protected] you so much.
I really want one copy of the .pdf too!!! Tksss
Please send a copy of this pdf to my email address. I have two daughters getting married in the next few months and this is such a great idea. Thanks for sharing

Hi Tanya — the file is available for download within the post, in the first sentence. Click on the green link. Thanks!
This is so clever and personal. I love it!
Love the idea for my daughter’s wedding. Can wait to surprise her with the idea. Unfortunately, like other people, I cannot get it to download. I would appreciate it if you would send me the link. It was so kind of you to let others use this.
Hi Denise,
Just tested it on my end and the download seems to be working properly. To use it, click on the words that take you to the download and then either save it to your computer or print it out right from that page. If you’re still having trouble, perhaps try it in another browser or try giving your computer a restart. Thanks!
Love the book – great way to entertain kids. I would appreciate it if you could send me the link at [email protected]. Thank You!

WOW! I love this! We are having little ones at our wedding and love to have things for them. I am looking forward to sharing this with our littlest of guests!
Could I get the template as well? Love the fonts in this!
Thank you!
Hi There,
I love your blog, please can you send me the template because I am having difficulty opening it and I want to use it at my wedding in France. The French children will love it. Thank you Emma
Hi chelsea!This is by far the best idea!!!!i’m so having this at my wedding this April in Zim!Thank you so much
BRILLANT!! Im getting married in August and on a very tight budget.This is just great for all the children that will be there
Great ideaxx
Perfect idea, we are getting married next month and this is great for the children. What age range do you reckon its suitable for? Thanks
We had kids aged from 1 to about 10 using it for different purposes — some wrote or drew pictures, some did the actual pages, and some just scribbled to keep themselves occupied.
This is INCREDIBLE!! I do wish it was in the correct order. I have to print them one sided, re-arrange, and then print the copies double sided which is causing a lot of pixelation and dots all over/around the adorable images you have drawn. Is this is WORD format anywhere or just PDF?
Hi Amy, it’s PDF only. And I’ve printed it myself many times, so I’ve ensured that it’s in the correct sequence. It’s in that order for double-sided printing purposes, so just be sure that the double-sides are being printed properly and it should all line up. Thanks!
Can you please email me the The DIY Activity Book
http://lovelyindeed.com/diy-activity-book-free-printable/
I would love a copy of this for my wedding. the DIY activity book free printable. Thanks
Hi there, please could you send me a copy of he template-such a fantastic idea!
I would love it if you could share your template. Thanks!
I just have to say I am absolutely baffled by how many ppl asked for the link, just read the post!!
I would love love it if you could send me the template as I am haveing trouble printing from website
This is so cute, but I wish the word “church” wasn’t in the word find… we’re having a secular wedding at our state’s Capitol building because we’re agnostic. :/ Otherwise, it’s super cute, but I don’t want the word “church” at my wedding.
Is there a way just to print this exact one
?
nevermind
You are so wonderful! This is exactly what I was looking for
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ***ahhh huge sigh of relief***
I love this! please could you send me the link to download?
Thankyou so much! This is brilliant! <3
I can’t seem to get page 1 (the back of the booklet with the car) to print on the left side of the page so it becomes the back of the booklet, any tips? Thanks!
nevermind, i got it
Thanks so much!!
No problem! Was just going to respond to your other comment. Glad you got it to work!
Love it would you please send me the link.
Hi Chelsea,
I am Avery Ocumen from the Philippines. I’m the Marketing Manager of Amorita Resort, a boutique hotel in Panglao Island Bohol in the Philippines.
I’m writing because I chanced upon your coloring book: i do, i do! on Pinterest and was very interested to produce it for children in the resort. I very much understand how kids get restless during wedding celebrations/receptions. And I actually pity the little ones – how uncomfortable they get in their cute little suits and gowns. I would like to produce copies of your coloring book to be given away to kids during weddings celebrations at our resort. I have no intention of selling it, really. I just want the kids to enjoy themselves as much as the adults around them are enjoying themselves.
I hope you don’t mind. Please shoot me an email if there’s anything else you wish to discuss. I would be very happy to hear from you!
PS: I soo enjoy your site.
I am very envious you have all the time in the world to do all that!
xoxo
Av

You can see it here,http://california-diy-diva.blogspot.com/2013/05/wedding-wednesday-to-have-or-not-to-have.html and see that I of course gave you proper credit. I will not be following this blog and can’t wait to go through all of the posts I’ve missed out on thus far!
oh goodness, that was supposed to say I will NOW* be following your blog!! Darn auto correct!
Haha! No worries, I figured. Glad you found the blog and looking forward to seeing you around here! xo
What a lovely idea, if you could please send me the file to download that would be greatly appreciated.
