12. Blankets to Help Guest Keep Warm at Night
If you plan to have an outdoor wedding ceremony that goes into the night, you may want to consider leaving out a basket of blankets to help keep your guests warm. This is especially important for older guests like your parents and grandparents, because they typically get cold more easily. If you have a summer wedding, it’s likely that these will not be necessary, especially if the temperature stays near 80 degrees even after night fall. However, you could always grab blankets just in case.

In the spring and autumn, it’s very likely that you’ll need some way to keep your guests warm, especially if you’re opting to skip the outdoor heat lamps. For rustic backyard weddings, you could save money by having stacks of blankets from your own home. Some photos of weddings show beautiful hand-knitted afghans that have been collected by the family throughout the years. Others will get fleece blankets customized for the wedding which doubles as a favor that guests can take home with them.
