The summertime is wedding season! If you’re planning a summer wedding, Sign Art Etc has helpful tips.

Make it colorful 
Monochrome is out. Combining multiple colors is in. The Knot has some great ideas for color combinations you may never have considered. Some of the best for summer weddings include:

• Aqua, cherry red and khaki.
• Navy blue, yellow and light blue.
• Chartreuse, powder blue and cornflower blue.

Make it fun
Summer is all about kicking back and relaxing. If you remember that a wedding is a celebration and should be fun, your guests will appreciate it and so will you. Here are some ideas on how to make the reception more fun for everyone:

• Table games: No matter what, guests are going to be killing time at their tables between events. Help them loosen up by adding games like Jenga and Mad Libs to every table.
• Yard games: For an outdoor reception, set up games like Cornhole, Ladder Ball or Kan Jam. You can even organize group games like flip cup for beer pong.
• Tasting stations: In addition to the regular bar, a wine, beer or whiskey tasting station provides a fun, interactive experience for guests who are 21 and older. You can hire an expert to talk about each drink, and suggest the best appetizers to pair with them.
• Kids’ table: If you have children at the wedding, seat them together at a designated spot, or in a separate room with supervision, toys and activities. Kids and their parents will have a blast!

Make it memorable 
A backdrop can be the perfect opportunity for you and your guests to cut loose and pose for pictures. Whether it’s romantic poses for couples or goofy group pics with props, let your guests enjoy posing for the camera. The best part is that everyone will have beautiful, quality photos to remember the event.
