to buy or not to buy parasols?

what do you think? im getting married outside and im TERRIFIED its going to rain. the worst thing that could happen that day is that we have to get married inside and its not my taste at all. i booked so i could get married outside. what if i buy parasols (like 75 of them) so that we can still get married outside if it rains??? I need your advice.

and does anyone know where to get REALLY cheap parasols. I could $3.50 a parasol online, is that a good price?

usually parasols (at least the pretty ones) are not meant to get wet. they are mostly just for shade from the sun.

i think they are made out of paper, so you realllly dont want them in the rain!!!

if you really want to do this, i would suggest talking to you RH about some tent cover.

Yes, they're made of paper and will get soaked. They do look nice in pics but I don't think they're what you need to protect you from the rain. It's more used to protect from the sun.

i found nylon ones that can get wet. maybe i should order 1 and see how it looks first. its only $4.75 for one.(the more u order the cheaper).

If you're willing to invest $$ into the parasols, maybe look into umbrellas. I have seen people give umbrellas as shower favors, so they must be somewhere you can buy them in bulk for cheap. Umbrellas will do a better job than any sort of parasol will.
