"Slippers," as they are referred to in Hawai'i, have been a popular gift for guests at outdoor weddings. They enable guests to literally kick off their shoes and slip on footwear that is perfect for garden and beach settings. Many women (and even men) also prefer the comfort of slippers for dancing.
The tricky part always comes to size. How would you know which sizes to get? One easy way is to request each guest's size on the invitation response card or on your wedding website. Another way is to provide a large assortment of sizes - in a quantity exceeding your guest count, to ensure an ample supply.
One fantastic way to achieve this is with Old Navy's annual $1 flip-flop sale. The one-day event takes place tomorrow, May 22, 2010, so be sure to visit your local store to stock up on this great buy. Many of our previous clients have taken advantage of this special, much to their guests' liking.
At one wedding, we even turned the slippers for guests into an interactive and fun activity station, where guests decorated their flip flops provided by the bride and groom. A selection of paints allowed guests to write their names or to draw fun designs and the result: a personalized, practical, and unique favor.
We always ask brides as well if they and their bridesmaids would like to prepare a change of footwear to slip under their table at the reception. With numerous hours of picture taking and walking about in stylish stilletos, who wouldn't want to slip into something that would give toes some relief? Comfy flip-flops therefore arise as a popular alternative, especially when made extra chic with wedge heels and crystals. So many applications for this foot adornment with humble beginnings...
