15 Summer Camp Wedding Ideas<\/h2>\n
1. Set Up Tents<\/h3>\n
To bring in the full summer camp feelings to your big day, pitch tents around your venue for your guests to enjoy during cocktail hour or your reception. Filled with blankets and games, these are the perfect pockets of peace to escape the dance floor for a bit.<\/p>\n

2. Camp-Themed Table Numbers<\/h3>\n
Instead of traditional table numbers<\/a>, opt to include flags with different names as table markers so your guests know where to sit. They’re not only useful, but they also make for really adorable detail photos.<\/p>\n

3. Camp-Themed Seating Chart<\/h3>\n
Speaking of seating, the theme doesn’t have to stop at the table numbers. If you want to use regular numbers but still want to incorporate the theme, you can add it to your seating chart<\/a>. Of course, there’s no stopping you from using it for both! Why not name your tables after camp items or campgrounds that are special to you and your partner?<\/p>\n

4. Al Fresco Dinner<\/h3>\n
There’s nothing more magical than dining under the stars. It’s not too often that you get to enjoy dinner with your closest loved ones in a beautiful setting, making your wedding the perfect place to create memories to last a lifetime.<\/p>\n

5. Colored Suit<\/h3>\n
We’re always going to advocate for unique wedding attire that makes you feel most comfortable on your big day. While you don’t need an excuse to wear a colored suit, a summer camp wedding, which typically involves a brighter color palette<\/a>, is a great setting to bring in more color into your outfit–especially emerald green to match the surrounding scenery.<\/p>\n

6. Go for a Canoe Ride<\/h3>\n
If you’re tying the knot near a body of water and have access to a body of water, take time after your ceremony to go on a short canoe ride. It’s a moment that you can spend with just your significant other to soak in the day, and it’s a great photo opportunity.<\/p>\n

7. Incorporate Picnic Baskets<\/h3>\n
Whether you use them as decor, a place to hold any cards guests may bring you, or favors, picnic baskets are an easy, inexpensive way to elevate the theme. If you’re unsure of where to find baskets (or you’re looking to save a little), start at your local thrift stores.<\/p>\n

8. A Unique Drink Holder<\/h3>\n
Although you may be serving signature cocktails along with beer and wine, if you’re planning on having any canned drinks (including non-alcoholic<\/a>), consider filling up a canoe with ice and using it as a drink holder for guests to visit whenever they need another beverage.<\/p>\n

9. Camp-Themed Wedding “Guest Book”<\/h3>\n
Guest books<\/a> are a great way to look back at all of those who helped celebrate you years after the wedding is over. If you want something more aligned with your theme, take a note from Ali and Jesse’s book. The couple created a mini questionnaire for their guests, which was the perfect entertainment to fill some time. Now they can look back at their guest’s answers to help bring them back to that special moment.<\/p>\n

10. Flag Guest Book<\/h3>\n
As we mentioned earlier, there’s something about flags that are the epitome of summer camp, so if you’re looking for another guest book idea, this is another themed option that also doubles as home decor once you’re finished. You could also store the flags in a scrapbook for safekeeping.<\/p>\n

11. A Customized Logo<\/h3>\n
From kayaks to oars to tents, there are countless items that you can incorporate into a customized logo<\/a> that you can display throughout your wedding. Whether you add it to your favors (like these patches and hot sauces) or include it on some of your signage, it’s a simple way to make your wedding more personalized.<\/p>\n

12. Sweetheart Table Banner<\/h3>\n
Flags don’t have to be all over the wedding if it’s not something you’re interested in. If you want something more subtle, add one to your sweetheart table<\/a> to help it stand out amongst the rest.<\/p>\n

13. Food Trucks<\/h3>\n
If you want to have a plated dinner at your summer camp wedding, go for it. However, we’re big fans of food trucks<\/a>. They’re a lot more laidback, which is fitting for the atmosphere, and they’re an easy way to get multiple different food options so that everyone is happy and fed.<\/p>\n

14. S’mores Bar<\/h3>\n
Whether you’re doing a traditional wedding cake<\/a> or a dessert bar<\/a>, a s’mores bar is a fun addition for everyone with a sweet tooth. Include it with other desserts (pie and ice cream, anyone?), or set it up next to a bonfire as a late-night snack.<\/p>\n

15. Mug Favors<\/h3>\n
If you’re going to spend money on wedding favors<\/a>, you want to make sure they’re something that your guests are going to use again. That’s why we love camping mugs. Every time they drink their cup of coffee or tea, they’re going to think about you and your partner and the love you shared on your big day.<\/p>\n
