Ann & Corey Customized
Wedding Program Fans

Called upon to create a program fan for a young couple holding their wedding ceremony outdoors during a hot, muggy, Houston Summer, Your Loose Ends had to think fast.

The sister-of-the-bride, who was also the Maid of Honor, suggested that perhaps her sister, the bride, should not have a program fan at the ceremony, for fear that it would look like a typical "church fan."

Your Loose Ends' mission was to create a wedding program fan that was functional, informative, and yet, totally elegant.

Hence, the "Ann & Corey Fan" was created, and has become one of Your Loose Ends' most sought after and popular favors. The Ann & Corey Fan is a party favor, a wedding program, and fan all in one!
