Since we were having an outdoor wedding in Hawaii – we wanted to make sure our guests could stay cool. Since outdoor misters just didn’t seem feasible, the next best option…fans!
Of course, in keeping with our tradition of being a bit untraditional, we opted for a more fun and whimsical route.
First, I found this website: http://www.handfans-direct.com/index.htm
This vendor is pretty cool. You can pay (a premium) and get custom fans designed and made. Or, buy stock fans that come blank – allowing you to decorate as you like (what we did).
Look at all these cool shapes (there’s even more than what’s pictured below):
We went for the Bubble fan – the one that looks like a quote bubble.
I then turned to a wedding planners must-have site: Etsy! I wanted a custom rubber stamp that we could use to decorate our fans. And I found the best seller – she was awesome, and was able to hard carve my fan in a really quick amount of time. She also sells other cool custom calligraphy items.
YAY for Etsy…and our cool stamp!
Now that we had blank fans and a custom stamp – we had to get to stampin’!
How cute is our little fan!?!
