HELP!!!!! A Sign Question...

[erika85]

Hi girls! It has been a long time since I have had time to get on here. I missed you all!!!!:bbcry:

I am trying to finish last minute projects with only 2 weeks left... I need an idea of what wording to use on a sign to tell guests to take a bottle of water. Any ideas??? The water will be at the top of the hill and they will have to walk down the hill to the ceremony. I am having a golf cart as well for people who can't get around very well any ideas about a sign for that?? Every thing I think of makes it sound like it is for everyone to use not just the people who NEED it...

Are the water bottles for everyone's use? And the golf cart is just for the people who need it? I think that as long as someone is making constant trips up and down the hill, it would be okay if other people opted to use it... it may not be a problem...just make sure that people start heading down a few minutes earlier.

walking up and down the hill in heels will make anyone tired, you should provide enough bottled water for everyone. I think that even with the sign some people might assume its for everyone and take some.

to answer some questions:Yes there is water for everyone, The cart is only for people who really need it, everyone already knows to wear shoes for walking in grass, did I miss any?

I am having a groomsman drive the golf cart and the reason that the cart is only for older people is because (1) it is not that far to walk (maybe 200 yards), (2) it is not a very sloped hill, and (3) there is sidewalks/steps to the bottom. I just wanted to have a way for some of the elderly guests to get to the bottom easily.

Okay, off the top of my head (would certainly need MAJOR revisions!):

A water treat to quench you thirst
As you wander down the hillside...
And if, for you, the hill's too steep
A chauffeured cart will be your ride.

Here I go editing myself(!)...I think I would change the first line to "A liquid treat..." instead of "A water treat..."

I love the poem, but I'm betting most who see the walk downhill will think it too steep and opt for a ride instead! You might want to revise that part.

Also, just as a side note, could you possibly get someone else to do driving duties? I know when planning my friend's weddings my personal rule is, don't assign any duties to the the bridal party (including parents). So far it has always worked out well. JMO. :grinhappy:

If you want to reserve the cart JUST for the elderly, change the third line to:

And if silver strands adorn your hair...

(Better than saying "And if you qualify for the senior discount"...lol:D)
