And by "Dog Days" I don't mean bow wow!Every year we're faced with good old super humid high 90's to triple digits heat here in St. Louis---- and I always issue the same ideas/suggestions to help beat the heat (or keep it at bay somewhat). Just a few tried and true things to consider:
1. Dear Groom, Please order an extra tuxedo shirt. The cost will make you cranky perhaps but when you have a fresh crisp shirt to slip into at the reception you will be so happy!!
2. Purchase cheapie washcloths from a big box store. Wet them thoroughly, wring them out and fold or roll. Slip each into a zippy bag and place in the freezer. On your wedding day put these washcloths into the cooler that will go onto your limo. Blissful relief.
3. Paper fans or even little battery powered fans are nice to bring on location. Although limos are air-conditioned the term may be relative. Trolleys are notoriously hotter than a Sunday flapjack.
4. Blotters for drippy makeup for the ladies are a must!
5. Bring LOTS of water for everyone going on location. LOTS.
6. Instead of salty snacks, some cool fruit is a nice touch (leave the drippy red strawberries and grapes at home please!)
We will take care of you during the heat (you know we will)--- but remember to try and keep good humor, after all the heat is what it is and you might as well roll with it. Don't try to rush, keep hydrated, blot the droplets and SMILE!
Summer is definitely HERE for a while. Let's enjoy it shall we? It beats the cold white stuff in my book!
