Thursdays Things We Love: Getting Ready for Summer Weddings

Summer is by far the most popular time to get married in the Pacific Northwest.  If the weather behaves there is nothing like the sun shinning while you walk down the aisle.  One thing to keep in mind during those hot summer months is making sure your guests are comfortable and taken care of.  If you are planning an outdoor wedding check out these fun, practical, and creative ways to make sure your guest enjoy your wedding as much as you do.

Personalized Sunscreen:
Place a basket of small personalized sunscreen packets next to your guest book.  Most guests don't think about that small detail when they are headed off to a wedding and they will be thankful you thought of it for them.  Also offering a personalized sunscreen will definitly be memorable. 


Hydration!
Offer guest water before they are seated.  You can either personalize the water bottles you hand out or not; either way your guests will be grateful.



Comfort:
Providing Flip Flops for your guests is a great way to get them in to the summer time spirit!  Flip flops also double as favors.  Place several baskets of flip flops in an assortment of sizes around your outdoor reception.  Select colors that either match or compliment your wedding colors. 
Sun Protection:

Offer guests either fans or umbrellas to protect themselves from those harmful rays.  These can also double as favors.



Hopefully this gets your started planning simple yet creative ways to ensure your guests are comfortable and taken care of during your summer wedding!
