And this all comes down to one rather humble equation \u2014 people divided by toilets.<\/p>\n<p>The average person heads to the toilet once every three hours. So the average toilet-to-guests ratio that venues work from is one toilet for every 70 people. But that\u2019s presuming that toilets visits are spread evenly, which is <i>never<\/i> the case. If your guests are from out-of-town, you could get a line before the ceremony starts, and then another peak some 2-3 hours later. And should your guest list include children, senior citizens, or pregnant women, you can count on a few extra comfort stops. In my experience, for a home ceremony, you\u2019ll need to arrange for one toilet for about 35 people \u2014 and not much more!<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the number of toilets on hand, though, the maximum number of guests you can comfortably handle depends on the maximum number of people your building or tent can hack in the case of bad weather.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45307\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45307\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45307\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4f6288f62c8433d595f733cf32106433.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4f6288f62c8433d595f733cf32106433.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4f6288f62c8433d595f733cf32106433-533x800.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4f6288f62c8433d595f733cf32106433-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4f6288f62c8433d595f733cf32106433-500x750.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45307\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45307\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4f6288f62c8433d595f733cf32106433.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4f6288f62c8433d595f733cf32106433.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4f6288f62c8433d595f733cf32106433-533x800.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4f6288f62c8433d595f733cf32106433-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/4f6288f62c8433d595f733cf32106433-500x750.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/noscript> inspiredbythis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Greeting the Guests<\/h2>\n<p>Planning on making an entrance?

It\u2019s important that everyone can not only see, but hear. Plus, you\u2019ll need an attractive backdrop. Try not to make your guests squint into the sun. If your photographs end up backlit, most of your wedding party will be reduced to silhouettes, and you\u2019ll lose the fine details and nuances. Make absolutely sure all your props, florals and ceremonial items are in place before the guests arrive.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Noise<\/strong> \u2014 Homes and gardens can be surprisingly noisy. Outdoor ceremonies are subject to all kinds of surprising disturbances, like planes, dogs and lawnmowers. If you\u2019re holding your ceremony during the day, it\u2019s wise to gently ask your neighbors to skip the lawn tractor or gas edgers (allow a little leeway either side). If noise is pretty unavoidable, e.g. you live by an airport or 20 feet from a national highway, you\u2019ll probably need to hold the ceremony indoors \u2014 but even then, noise can be a problem. While your own ears might have acclimated to your circa-sixties air conditioner or boisterious fridge, the video camera is likely to pick it up loud and clear.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Weather<\/strong> \u2014 Both hot and rainy weather pose special challenges. You\u2019ll need to plan for the worst \u2014 have a suitable space on hand, either inside or under cover in the case of a sudden downpour. Guests forced to sit in direct sun can actually pick up some nasty sunburns, especially during the hottest time of day, so make sure they\u2019re \u2018made in the shade\u2019 and supply plenty of cool, non-alcoholic liquids to guard against dehydration. (Popsicles are a cute and trendy touch for cooling off guests in warmer climes.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45310\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45310\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/b34003542cd27f7c8ca3d6eaaafd176c.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/b34003542cd27f7c8ca3d6eaaafd176c.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/b34003542cd27f7c8ca3d6eaaafd176c-220x300.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/b34003542cd27f7c8ca3d6eaaafd176c-500x683.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45310\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/b34003542cd27f7c8ca3d6eaaafd176c.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/b34003542cd27f7c8ca3d6eaaafd176c.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/b34003542cd27f7c8ca3d6eaaafd176c-220x300.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/b34003542cd27f7c8ca3d6eaaafd176c-500x683.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/noscript> Wedding Chicks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<section class=\"entry-content clearfix\">\n<h2>Animals, Children, Oh My!<\/h2>\n<p>Any domestic animals that could interfere with your ceremony, or get nervous when 200 guests turn up, should be shut in a safe part of the house or yard or kenneled for the day.<\/p>\n<p>As for small children, they can find it tough to sit quietly through a long ceremony. If you\u2019re expecting a number of toddlers and tykes, you\u2019re best off hiring someone to entertain them somewhere nearby. Play leaders and jumping castles are surefire hits, but even a few popular videos and a child-savvy sitter will please parents and kids alike.<\/p>\n<h2>Health and Safety Nuts &amp; Bolts<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll need to follow these basic safety rules in your at-home wedding:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure property (and ceremonial) entrances and exits are clear and safe to use.<\/li>\n<li>Garden ponds and pools are potentially hazardous for young children. Make absolutely sure no kids will be near them unsupervised.<\/li>\n<li>Any kind of construction in your garden, whether temporary (your rented tent) or permanent (your deck or gazebo), should be well-built, properly secured and safe.<\/li>\n<li>Outside electrical equipment such as sound equipment must be safe. Avoid trailing leads, wires or cables. Leads and cables should be kept well clear of walkway areas, and firmly taped down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are plenty of benefits to having your wedding (or renewal of vows, baby naming, fill-in-the-blank) at home.
