WHAT TO PACK

You guests will really appreciate your recommendations on what they should pack for your big weekend, as it’s not always easy packing for an event! To make it easy and streamlined, you can update the information to your wedding website or send out an email to all of your guests. For a Fraser Valley wedding, guests should bring a light jacket or parka, depending on the time of year! If they’re visiting the area during rainy season, it would be a good idea to have guests pack some rain boots or some waterproof gear. If you’re having a summer wedding, a light sweater will ensure that guests are comfortable when the temperature drops at night. Don’t forget to suggest packing a backpack and a water bottle, especially if your guests are planning on extending their trip to explore Vancouver, Whistler or Squamish. A good rule is to think about what you would bring on a trip to the area, and that’s what you should suggest to your guests.
