One of the perks associated with having our wedding in a non-traditional venue is our ability to include some non-traditional ideas. Like camping.

There will be rooms - with doors and windows and running water – for us Ginger-Nerds, our parents and our wedding party (and their respective dates). Most wedding guests will either be driving home to Denver, or staying at a hotel in Pueblo – still a 25 minute drive from the reception.
But some of our more dedicated friends will be tent-camping. So how will I keep our wedding from looking like a Tent City?
Well, the property has over 400 acres, with plenty of space for tents. I have asked only that the tents either be set up out of view from the wedding festivities, or set up afterwards. The property owners are against open flame on the property (and rightfully so!), so the other major restriction is on campfires. If our tent-dwellers want to keep warm in what could be a chilly autumn evening, they should bring warm clothes – not firewood.
Our only other request is that our happy campers leave their site as they found it. The property owners are being so helpful and accommodating, and we want to ensure their generosity is not abused.
Will you have any guests with alternative accommodations? Do you have any further suggestions to keep our wedding from looking like a campground?
