Last year on May 2 it was 85 degrees in Ocean City. When it came time to think about how to make the wedding programs, we had no idea what the weather had in store for us. Just in case it was hot, we decided on program fans so the guests could fan themselves after crossing the dune and sitting in the potentially hot sun without shade.
Well, if you’ve looked at the weather forecast, you’ll know that’s probably not necessary.
BUT, they’re done. I took a picture but really can’t bring myself to upload it right now … so you’ll just have to imagine for now. The paper matches our invitation suite and they are two sided with a stick in the middle to make the fan. The first side has the standard wedding ceremony stuff, but the second side is a surprise (tip: bring a pen or pencil).
This turned out to be one of the harder DIY projects. Gluing the two heavy, coated papers together with a stick in the middle was sort-of a challenge. Even though my original prototype came out nice and straight, all the fans we made last week turned out a little wavy. Nonetheless, they are done and they look good. Many thanks to Katy, Melane and Kate for helping us out.
