Whenever you hand out your wedding invitation, tell your guests what to expect. They should know that the temperatures are likely to drop and they should come prepared for it. If you are having an outdoor or a destination wedding, inform your guests about the expected temperatures. If possible, include a small weather chart for an outstation wedding. You don’t want your guests to turn up at the destination without any warm clothes.
Every bride wants her wedding favours to be memorable. So, why not hand out shawls embroidered with you and your hubby’s name to your guests as they enter the wedding hall? Your guests can drape the shawls around themselves whenever they feel the need to do so and they won’t throw it because they would associate the shawl with beautiful memories of your wedding. Although, wedding favours are usually given at the end of the ceremony, you can always bring in your own twist.
