Hi, lovelies! This wedding advice question came in from Olivia who wants to keep guests cool at her outdoor wedding, which has the potential to be quite humid.

She writes,

“Emmaline, I need tips on keeping my guests cool at my outdoor ceremony. I’m thinking of buying wedding fans, or I even like the programs that are fans but I haven’t found a style I like. Do they sell wedding fan favors just by themselves? I thought if guests can cool themselves off at the ceremony with fans, they can also be given as their take-home favors. Any ideas? Thank you!”

Hi Olivia! Great question. As someone who lives in Michigan and knows a thing or twenty about humid summers, plus those surprising heat waves that sometimes sneak up in September, I agree with your idea about giving fans to guests for an outdoor wedding.

At every outdoor wedding I’ve attended or we’ve planned, the couple has always offered some sort of wedding fans for guests.

And if they didn’t, guests tried to turn the programs into fans themselves, which isn’t the best for photos! Ha!

We found five beautiful options for your guests to cool themselves off. From personalized wedding fans to wedding fans in bulk for a cheap price, we have a little bit of everything for every style here. All of these fans are stylish, too! Enjoy!

1. Wedding Fans

These high-quality bamboo wedding fans in bulk are a delightful way to keep guests cool, especially for beach or outdoor ceremonies in full sun. By GatorGrannyVintage. They’re stylish, too!

2. Sandalwood Fans

You can get these wedding fans engraved by WeddingandGifts for an affordable price.

3. Program Fan Sticks

Turn any programs into fans with these unique engraved wood sticks by OccasionalPaperCuts. This is a great option if you already purchased your wedding programs or you have a particular style in mind — but also want wedding fans for guests.

We also did some more digging and found some cheap sandalwood wedding fan favors you can buy in a bulk order of 50, if you’re not interested in personalized wedding fans. The price is great, and the reviews are awesome. By Forsun.

4. Wedding Fans in Bulk + Cheap

You can buy these wedding fans in bulk on Amazon and they even have free 2-day shipping on Prime if you have it (if not, get a free 1 month trial on us!)

If you’re giving them as your wedding favors, great idea: we love things that offer dual-functionality. You can give them out in these favor bags which are designed to fit the fans perfectly. By Bezall.

Easy? Easy. We hope this helps! Thanks so much for writing! :)

Fingers crossed your wedding is just perfectly comfortable and the humidity stays away.

Happy Planning!
