| | 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! Interesting facts about fans.- Some of the first fans dating from the early years of the 20th century carried images of Black families worshiping in church, a Black Jesus, intact families and loving relationships.
- The opposite side of the fans carried ads for funeral homes or other businesses owned by Blacks.
- Traditionally, fans carried images of heroes such as Martin Luther King Jr., Mahalia Jackson and Booker T. Washington.
- President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert, sometimes were displayed alongside images of King.
- Even though Black churches today are air conditioned, churchgoers still use fans.
- African societies once used fans as symbols of power.
- Elaborate fans made of feathers once were used to cool royalty.
- Fanning not only ventilates the body, but may also be used to cool the spirit.
- It has been suggested that when you fan someone, you throw a blessing.
