Let's Go Camping
Camping is one of the hottest recreation activities enjoyed during the summer months. If you and your groom enjoy this fun pastime, why not incorporate that love into your wedding.
Book your site months in advance to get a prime woodland or lakefront spot. Have guests arrive the Friday night with trailers and tents in tow and suitable accommodations nearby for those whose idea of roughing it is ordering in room service. Hold a potluck Friday night rehearsal dinner, and have a chance to meet, greet and interact with your guests before the big day.
Decorating for your camping wedding is a breeze. If a hall is used on-site, you can use all the traditional wedding accessories. However, if preserving and incorporating the naturalness of your surroundings is important to you, and you use a tent open to the elements, try using mosquito netting tied into decorative bows, and citronella torches surrounding to keep any uninvited pests away.
The menu for a camping-themed wedding can include simple barbequed fare or a full-fledged catered event. The evening's entertainment could include sitting around a campfire with a guitar strumming, or dancing the night away under the stars.
For the perfect camping-themed wedding favor try providing each guest with a gift bag filled with some basic camping necessities like bug spray, water bottles personalized with your wedding details, a personalized deck of cards, a disposable camera to catch the weekend's memories, sunscreen, or personalized marshmallow/wiener sticks.
For the ultimate fun, fantastic wedding weekends, look to camping and get away from it all.
