We would like to give out tulip bulbs as a wedding favor for our August 1st wedding in the Northeast.

I found a tulip vendor that will deliver bulbs in time for the wedding (http://www.tulips.com/bulbs-brides.cfm), but am wondering if this will be problematic since its a bit early for tulip bulbs here. Might we have problems storing the bulbs in between delivery and the wedding or will guests have trouble planting them in August since its not quite cool yet?

From what I understand that as long as bulbs are stored in a cool, dry place out of sunlight they will remain dormant until put in the ground. Attach a note to each package of bulbs instructing guests to store them until it's time to put them in the ground this fall. I stored bulbs that I dug up last spring over the summer in my basement in a mesh drawstring bag and put them in the ground last fall. Can I ask why the tulip bulbs? Are you Dutch? (I am.)
