A Summer Wedding Under the Bright Sun ♡

Summer weddings are the best because the weather is nice and the sunlight makes for beautiful wedding photos! However, it can be hot...!! In the worst case, the bride and groom or guests might suffer from heatstroke...! We definitely want to avoid such situations!

What Kind of Hospitality Can We Offer on a Hot Wedding Day?

During a hot summer wedding, we need to be very considerate of our guests! But this is also a chance to impress them with, "Wow, they thought of this too!" ♡

This time, we will introduce some unique ways to offer hospitality to guests specifically for hot summer weddings! We hope it will be a reference for everyone planning a summer wedding ♩

Heat Prevention! Hospitality Idea #1: Setting Up a Drink Bar

Staying hydrated is really important during the summer! While many venues have staff who can bring drinks when asked, having a self-serve drink bar helps guests feel at ease during those hot summer days ♡

Especially in the summer, let’s provide not only sweet cocktails and juices but also refreshing drinks with lemon, mint, and carbonation!

For a summer wedding, it’s a good idea to offer drinks that help prevent dehydration, such as water and Pocari Sweat. We want everyone to stay hydrated and feel their best! ♡

The drinks should absolutely be served ice-cold! If the drinks are lukewarm, it can make them feel uncomfortable. Just seeing drinks sitting in ice will help guests feel a bit cooler ♡

Heat Prevention! Hospitality Idea #2: Ice Bar & Shaved Ice

While drinks are great, an ice bar is sure to be a hit in the summer! The idea of serving drinks poured over ice in a glass is not only refreshing but also stylish＊

What about freezing bite-sized fruit to make ice pops? It could be cute, right!? They will feel refreshing when they pop them in their mouths! However, be mindful that frozen treats can melt quickly depending on the location, so timing is key ♩

Isn’t it adorable for the bride and groom to shave ice for their guests like they would at a dessert buffet? Some have even added syrup on top of the shaved ice as a cute touch! ♡

Heat Prevention! Hospitality Idea #3: Distributing Fans

When we think of summer, we think of fans, right? DIY fans can become incredibly cute wedding items! Personalized fans with your names can also serve as photo props ♡

How about printing profiles or menu lists on them? Guests will surely appreciate the small details, knowing you’ve thought about these things＊

If you distribute fans, present them cutely just like the ice bar! Adding ribbons to the fans can make them a lovely wedding touch ♡

Heat Prevention! Hospitality Idea #4: Enhance Amenity Goods

Heat and sweat can be big enemies for guests! Let’s prepare a variety of amenity goods for guests who can’t bring much luggage. Mint-scented body mist is a universally appreciated amenity! Many worry about body odor, so having refreshing mist on hand is essential ♡

Powder sheets or sprays to help guests feel fresh and clean from sweat are also must-haves for a summer wedding! Be sure to provide them in the powder room, so guests can enjoy the wedding comfortably ♡

Let’s Offer Hospitality That Can Stand Up to the Heat ♡

How was that? There are surprisingly many hospitality ideas that can impress your guests precisely because it’s summer ♩ The most important thing at a wedding is for guests to enjoy themselves＊ Let’s prepare thoroughly and create wonderful summer memories! ♡
