Fan programs
Functional and fun, don’t underestimate the cooling power of a fan program! In stagnant heat, these fans can work wonders and your guests will certainly appreciate it! No need to sacrifice space or style, fans are almost always double-sided and can be designed any way you would like!

Stay Hydrated!
Make sure you have plenty of water available for guests if they will be outside in the hot sun for any duration of time. Sorry, beer and wine do not count as hydrating!

Fun in the Sun!
Don’t forget to apply some SPF on the big day! Create a specific station for sunscreen, bugspray, etc. or pass out personalized sunscreen to guests as they arrive.
Need some shade?
If your venue is in an uncovered outdoor space, provide umbrellas that guests can take at their leisure. Personalize it for you wedding with cute tags and ribbons for that added touch!
Stay cool, Virginia!
