8 Woodsy Wedding Ideas to Keep Your Guests Happy Campers

You've booked the perfect wedding venue in the mountains, complete with crisp air, fire pit, incredible mountain views, and towering trees. An outdoor wedding is a magical event that has built-in atmosphere. All you need to do is add a little rustic decor, strands of twinkling lights in a grove of trees, and these 8 ideas to keep your guests happy campers at your woodsy wedding.

Campfire vibes An outdoorsy wedding wouldn't be complete without a campfire. Warm your guests up with a cozy campfire and station the s'mores at a nearby table for easy marshmallow roasting. A bucket of wool blankets is a cute and practical decor idea to warm your girl squad's chilly shoulders once the sun sets.

Wood block guest book Rather than the traditional guest book, give your guests a woodsy way to wish you well. Wooden Jenga blocks are the perfect size for a guest to write a short message and sign their name. Plus, it's a keepsake that won't just sit in the box in the attic, as Jenga is a fun, at-home date night activity as newlyweds.

S'more snacks All of that dancing at the reception can make for a hungry attendee. Satisfy anyone's sweet tooth with s'mores by the campfire. Prep the s'more ingredients by bagging chocolate bars, graham crackers and marshmallows in clear treat bags before the wedding, and don't forget to have the roasters on hand.

Play games Make your party fun for all. From washer toss and cornhole to giant tic-tac-toe and ladder ball, lawn games at a reception give guests something to do, especially if they have two left feet. And with all of the extra space in the great outdoors, wedding games are an inexpensive way to add rustic and functional decor.

Take shelter Of course, any camping trip includes tents! Make your event comfortable with a tent guests can escape to for a quiet reprieve from a raucous reception, or, of course, for a peaceful moment between you and your groom.

Camping for the kids Entertain the kids by setting up simple tents for them to play in while the adults play nearby. Add a bucket of washable markers and let them get creative by drawing on the canvas for a memento for participating flower girls or ring bearers.

Dine al fresco Skip the big, white event tent and take in the great outdoors by dining outside. Guests will enjoy the fresh air, the sun setting over the mountains, and twinkling patio lights overhead. One, long dining table allows guests to sit down for dinner family-style, too.

Foresty favors Remind guests of your big day with a forest-themed favor. Whether it's a s'more bag, a live pine tree seedling, or a simple bag of skipping stones, woodland gifts will spark nostalgia of the majestic mountain views, crisp scent of pines, and dancing the night away in a natural setting.
