The Call of the Wild…
Outdoor events in Texas can be wonderful, or wonderfully harsh. Here are some Tips & Ideas for keeping your guests comfortable and happy!
· Consider the weather:
o If it’s in the middle of summer (or sometimes well into fall), think of how amazing and thoughtful fans can be. No, not Grandma’s box fan. Try simple, yet elegant folded fans! Consider your theme and get creative with pops of color or turn them into programs or the evening’s menu.

o Thinking of tenting in cooler weather? Wrap it up! Silk or Satin (faux or not) are great all around and people will not only appreciate the gesture, but remember your event whenever they wear it… and they will. And don’t forget the men; they can get in on it, too.

o And, of course, we mustn’t forget about those pesky mosquitoes. After all, this is Texas and mosquitoes thrive on carbon dioxide and bodies. There are several options for citronella candles, torches, or oils with pleasant scents as to not offend anyone. If you’re somewhere notorious for buggies, consider renting a commercial bug-be-gone or consult with Pest Control for a pre-party pre-treat.
