It's here!  My favorite time of year!!!  Sure, I'm wishing that the Alabama weather would be a little less Summer-like, but I know it's coming.

For the past year or so, we have seen an increase in popularity of yard games at wedding receptions. And from someone who LOVES board games, I think this is the best idea for your outdoor wedding!  This time of year will be perfect to make a few additions to your reception.

Pick your favorite or do them all!

1 - Cornhole.  A must these days, don't you agree?

2 - Life-size scrabble. Yes please!
