Bring An Undershirt (or Two)

Trust us, this works. No one wants to sweat straight through their dress shirt and suit jacket and then be stuck in that all day. Wear an undershirt to soak up extra sweat. The, we suggest packing an extra one so you can change into something fresh & dry if you need to. This especially works for summer weddings!
