Wedding Fans and Parasols
Summer weddings are always great, but what about the heat. Usually the bride and groom are smart enough to avoid direct sun if they are having a wedding during a hot time of year. But the wedding guests often get stuck in the sun, sweating, and instead of enjoying your wedding vows; they may be more worried about how hot they are. Don't make you guests sweat to death during your wedding. Be a great hostess and provide parasols and fans for your guests if you know they will be hot. They will thank you for it, and be classy cool in the process.
There are several gift companies that provide great deals on wedding parasols and fans. Check out this article I wrote a while back about a great online resource for buying cheap (but good quality) paper wedding parasols.

Large umbrellas are another option to keeo your gusts nice and cool in the shade. Umbrellas that can be set up around the seating area, and most rental companies have umbrellas available to rent. Although this will ad a bit to your costs umbrellas can help create a nice area for gusts where they can stay cool and really enjoy the ceremony rather than sweat it out.
