DIY Wedding
Program Fans

So I have asked a couple questions and scourged the internet for hours and finally found this pretty awesome idea for program fans that will also be really fun for the guests! One side has all of the information that you will need to inform the guests of while the other side has like word searches, mad libs or whatever game you can think of! There is even a little pencil attached to the end of each fan stick so that guests can easliy complete the games. The website is:

In case anyone is trying to figure out where to buy pre drilled golf pencils, unfortunately I think you have to buy regular ones and then drill them yourself, same with the fan sticks. But I think this is a great idea and I will definitely be making these!
If anyone is having difficulty finding the golf pencils, I finally found a site that has a natural finish to the wood and not bright yellow and you don't have to buy 1000 of them!

In case anyone is having difficulty with gluing their sticks to the program, I would advise against using a liquid glue as this can ruin the paper and make it wrinkly. Instead I would use double sided tape or even a spray adhesive. However the spray adhesive can be messy and it does has fumes and should only be used with a drop cloth and in a well ventilated area.
