If your wedding will take place in a warm climate, or even at an indoor space that's not exactly known for its amazing ventilation, you may want to consider providing your guests with a small, hand-held fan they can use to cool themselves off. And what better way to do that than with a fan designed from your wedding program! Wedding program fans are a perfect complement to summer wedding invitation suites, as they encapsulte the season, but also serve a function. A wedding program fan is a great way to pull double duty: it gives your guests all the 411 they'll need to navigate your ceremony and the day's order of events, and it keeps them cool and comfortable as you exchange vows.

How to Decide if a Wedding Program Fan is Right for You

First, it comes down to budget. Know that in general, a program fan is a bit more of an expenditure than a simple ceremony program. But, there's no denying it's a beautiful and cool (pardon the pun) extra. Of course, you can skip right over a fan if your wedding will be held in a cold climate or season. It simply won't be necessary.

When it comes to designing your fan, you'll need to consider what goes into a wedding ceremony program. Of course, you'll want your names to be front and center, then you'll give a shout-out to your wedding party, your parents and any other special helpers or guests. Finally, you may want to include your order of events or even a special note. Have a rough idea of what you'd like to include; while some fans have tons of room for content, others simply don't. Below, we've rounded up several wedding program fans for you to check out if you'd like your guests to have one during your ceremony.
