Critical For Picnic or Backyard Weddings

I know, the last thing you want to think about at your summer outdoor wedding is BUGS! But one way to keep your guests comfortable is to provide buckets set around the perimeter filled with bug repellents. Yes, I know, you love your perfume and the bug spray is yucky at best but it beats being eaten alive by assorted bugs as you enjoy your best friend's wedding and reception.

 

Pick up some shepherd's crooks at your local hardware store or garden supply store, decorate them with ribbon streamers, and fill some small metal buckets with some of Avon's best bug repellents.

 

Check with your favorite Avon Rep (that would be me) at my Avon website at http://nancyvecchione.avonrepresentative.com and order yourself some bug repellent.  Don't forget to pick up some great body wash for when you head back to the hotel to wash off the bug repellent smell! Avon also sells an anti-itch spray that you could provide for your guests just in case they are bitten.

 

Casual Chic Picnicware

Looking for a way to combine drink glasses with silverware and napkins and make it look like part of your decor? Try using mason jars (STOP GROANING! I know... mason jars are everywhere!) lined with a scarf or napkin, and filled with silverware. Perfect for an outdoor wedding where you want to give it a 'casual but chic ' designer look.

And if you're not getting married use it for your favorite 4th of July picnic or other picnic get together with friends and family.

Serving Food At Your Picnic Wedding

So you've decided to have a picnic wedding, some fancy sandwiches, salads, side dishes, but how are you going to serve your food?  One way is to pre-pack lunch bags like the one above.  These make it easy to transport food and give your guests a eco-friendly wedding favor. 

Some DIY experts could make their own patterns, but those of us with less expertise will love the directions and pattern available at Haberman Fabric's web site. Yet another easy DIY project brought to you by The Wedding Queen's DIY Weddings blog.
