Wedding Programs as Fans

Being that our wedding is taking place at the end of July, we are doing our best to ensure our guests will be comfortable outside for the ceremony.  One thing we've been planning on since the beginning is making our wedding programs into paddle fans.

from etsy.com (where else?!):

by HeSawSparks - etsy.com
by Liddabits - etsy.com
by Baumbirdy - etsy.com
by BonnieBelleBoutique - etsy.com

We're still trying to decide if we want to have the same designs as our invitations on our programs, in which case we'll have to work with our designer, Rene of Partymonkey - etsy.com.  

We'll see what we decide --- either way, hopefully the programs won't be too much work and will turn out wonderfully!!
