If you’ve set your wedding date between May and September you might be entertaining guests during a  heatwave.  

If you’re planning a wedding during the summer months, here are a few tips to keep you and your guests comfortable:

1. Make comfort accessible – neatly display parasols, individual fans, and bottles of water for your guests to keep cool during the ceremony.
2. Keep your menu light and airy –offer grilled fish and chicken options and lots of fruit. If you’re working with a caterer, let them know what you’re trying to achieve, and they should be able to make it happen.
3. Set-up a relief station – provide sunscreen, bug spray, and hand sanitizer for your guests. Make it visible so they know that the products have been expressly set out for them.  Add a cute custom sign to give it some edge.
4. Create a cozy lounge – create an area with lots of shade such as large umbrellas and misting fans. Make sure your lounge area has comfortable cushy sofas and chairs.  Stay away from metal furniture!
5. Offer icy treats – mixed frozen drinks, push pop style desserts, ice cream station! 

Whatever it takes to keep you and your guests happy is what you should focus on. If you have more suggestions, let me know in the comments!

As always, never miss an opportunity to celebrate!
