Am I going overboard?

This is what we've got set up for the kids table at the wedding. Is it too much?

The kids are going to have goodie bags at their table with the following items. We want to make sure they have plenty to do and don't get too crabby while they wait.

1. Foam Frame making (which is going to be their place card holder): complete with easy self adhesive letters, numbers, flowers, hearts, and sea creatures (he proposed at the aquarium! :D)
2. Scavenger hunt with one time use cameras. After the wedding we'll develop and sent copies to the kids, so they can choose their favorite picture to put in the frames they make.
3. Activity/Coloring book with a box of crayons: I am making personalized ones using Crayola's website. Also going to include puzzles for the older kids, and blank pages in the back where they can draw pictures for us.
4. Glow sticks for dancing the night away!
5. Bag of snack including homemade rice crispy treats, red seedless grapes, ring pops (seems fitting, lol), and a capri sun.

    These are so cool you should give them to the adults too!! I'd be psyched to color :)

    Seriously though, great thinking.

    Do you think someone who is 14 or 16 will enjoy these things? We have a niece and nephew who are a little bit older than the other kids (11-4) and we aren't sure they would be interested in these activites. We really want to include them with their cousins, but don't want them to have to feel responsible for the little kids? Where should I seat them?

    If they are close to their younger cousins, put them there. If not, put them with their parents. Could you ask them where they would be more comfortable?
