Just Said Yes November 2018

Non Smoking Wedding Venue

Hey y'all!

We are getting married in November and it is in our Venue contract that smoking on the property is prohibited. We are getting married on a farm so there aren't really places they can go to smoke during the ceremony or reception unless they leave the wedding... How do I tell people? Should this go on our website or invites?

I don't want someone's smoking to end our wedding or cause us to get a fine so I want to make sure to give everyone a heads up!

Thanks!

I would just reach out to your smokers. Our venue is non-smoking and I just told my mom, and asked that she spread it to the other smokers in our family.
Alternatively you could put up no smoking signs.

Ask the venue how they normally handle it. They probably have a few signs around key areas. If you can have a designated area set up that they CAN go, that will help get the point across. Even if it's in the parking lot, or just outside the property line. How many people are likely to be affected by this?

As an ex-smoker, I agree with Daria about how this should be handled. Also, smokers will find a way especially when there's alcohol involved, so best to figure this out before your day.

You could put it on a details card in the invitation, but I would definitely include it on the website. It may turn some people away, but you don't want to end up with a fine.

Did you ask the venue how they handled this in the past? With so many places that serve food being non-smoking these days, this just doesn’t seem like a big deal.

but I’m not a smoker. And I’m not sure I even know anyone that smokes.
