REFRESHING WEDDING IDEAS FOR A SCORCHING, SUMMER WEDDING

Having a summer wedding and dreading the thought of tying the knot in the scorching heat? Worry not people, these awesome summer wedding ideas will have the guests cooling off, and you having a rather fabulous time.

• A Memorable Guest Book

Think beyond the typical guest book. One creative idea we love: Create a jigsaw puzzle of your photo and let guests sign each piece. Or put out silver trays with engraving pens so guests can carve a lasting message on a useful keepsake for you.

• 2. Upgraded Welcome Bags

Make your guests feel like VIPs with welcome bags that go beyond a map and a few snacks. Stuff personalized tote bags with mini bottles of bubbly or a six-pack of a local microbrew, a gift certificate to your favorite local coffee shop and an individual “Welcome!” note from you.

• Pre Ceremony Cocktails

Your guests won’t be expecting any drinks until the reception, so give them a pleasant surprise by setting up a table of light beverages on the way into the ceremony.

• Paper fans to cool off the guests

So easy, so thoughtful. Printed paper fans are kept at each table for the guests to fan themselves when it gets too hot.

• Sunglasses

Wondering what to give as mehandi favors? Hey just get a few pairs of funky sunglasses to hand out- your guests shall thank you later.
