Why have weed at a wedding?

Well, people incorporate weed into their weddings for different reasons. For some couples, since they also take cannabis and enjoy it, it’s a way to add a personal touch to the wedding.

Some other couples add cannabis to their wedding because they want to offer a more fun alternative to the entire setup. On the other hand, some couples incorporate weed into their wedding because it is becoming a popular trend, and they don’t want to miss out.

Although it is a new trend, lots of couples have already jumped on it because they consider it a unique addition to their wedding ceremony. Cannabis at a wedding is like having a special guest appearance that excites everyone.

Regardless of the reason for cannabis as a choice, it is evident that it has become a new trend and a new way of saying “I do.” If you love cannabis, if you are conscious of its health benefits, then you might want to make your wedding weed-friendly. So what can you do to get started?

Plan, plan, and plan!

The first step entails planning for the wedding reception, and here are a few things to consider. First, you need to know many people you are expecting because this will influence the amount of cannabis you buy. You also need to consider if your guests are liberal enough to have cannabis and not too conservative to feel offended with marijuana. Planning for your guests is the first and most important planning for a cannabis-friendly wedding.

Consider the legal realities

Cannabis is not legal in many states; hence the reason you should consider the rules and regulations for marijuana in the state the reception will happen. If you are planning a destination wedding, please read about the laws on marijuana in the country before going ahead with the wedding plans.

Plan for the venue

When planning to have cannabis at your wedding, it is also essential that you have the perfect airy venue. The moment you decide to add cannabis, your plans might change from inside to outdoor reception venue. Consider the venue’s size as well; you want it big enough to contain everyone.

Chose a weed “designated” area

At the reception venue, you will have to choose a designated area where your guests can smoke. There will be other guests who wouldn’t want to smoke, and you want to ensure that they don’t feel suffocated by others who smoke. Set up a lounge area and mark it as the weed-smoking area.

Please notify the venue and seek permission

You need permission from the venue before having your cannabis-friendly wedding. Some venues may gladly accept, and others may reject your offer, but you’ve got to ask first to know. After getting approval, also inform other vendors, so they are aware that cannabis will be available at the reception.

You can have the reception at home

If you cannot get a venue that will allow you to have your cannabis-friendly wedding, you might have to consider doing it at home. Many wedding venues are still on board with the idea of people using cannabis on their property, but your home is your space, so that should be fine. Ensure you’ve got a large yard and pre-inform your neighbors (if you have any).

Inform your guests

Although cannabis-friendly weddings are gaining popularity, courtesy demands that you inform your guests of this decision through your invitation. A little disclaimer will give your guest an idea of what to expect before showing up at the wedding. Also, indicate that there will be smoke zones as well as bud usage.

Get a budtender

If your wedding reception will have many people, then it is advised that you get a budtender who is like a bartender with alcohol. The budtender will greet the guests at his stand, pass the weed, vape, and other weed products to them. Your guests will be thrilled that you’ve gone out of your way to take care of them by getting the budtender.

Cannabis desserts

What is a cannabis wedding reception without cannabis desserts? Cannabis-laced desserts are fun to eat, and your guests will love the fun twists. But please remember to AVOID lacing the desserts with high THC doses as this is higher than smoking weed.

Cannabis party favors

You can also incorporate cannabis into your wedding through party favors! Everyone loves party favors, and by giving your guests cannabis, you will be sticking to the cannabis-friendly theme. Get some customized packages with you and your partner’s initials and place some weed inside the packs. As guests leave, let them take some of that cannabis excitement to their home.

Bottom line

The world has evolved from having skeptical views about marijuana to embracing it enough to have it at weddings. Progressive thinking couples are making weed-friendly decisions that set cannabis at the center of their celebrations.

If you are keen on joining this trend, the steps discussed above will help you safely incorporate weed while having a blast. Unfortunately, not all states have friendly rules regarding cannabis, so please always ask questions before plunging.
