Whether you are planning a beach wedding, or simply planning to incorporate a beach theme into your ceremony, it makes sense to give your guests wedding favors. Beach themed favors that reflect the ocean-side setting are best. This helps create the ambiance for your wedding and serves as a fashionable reminder of your big day. Each time your guest sees your wedding favor in their home, they will remember your wedding lovingly.
You want to please your guests but also be easy on your budget. This article will help you choose beach-related wedding favors that can do this.
You can easily make a simple and enjoyable seaside wedding favor by placing a small votive candle inside a small beach pail, which you can purchase at hobby shops. Buy several in assorted colors. Fill each of them about one quarter of the way up with colored sand, which you can also get at hobby shops. Put a candle into the sand and tie a colorful ribbon around the pail. That’s all there is to it! These are simple and inexpensive wedding favors, but they perfectly convey the ambiance of your outdoor wedding. Your guests will remember your wedding fondly when they see these favors in their home.
Seashells are another tasteful, inexpensive choice for wedding favors with a beach theme. Hobby shops, craft shops and party supply stores carry unbroken shells. You want shells which are all roughly the same size. While you are still in the store, also pick up some inexpensive fishing net material. Cut the fishing net into small squares and place a few seashells in the middle of each one. Pull each square’s corners together and then tie up the corners with a piece of pink, blue or coral colored silk ribbon to create attractive favors. Your wedding guests will cherish them.
You can also use magnets with a beach-related shape and design to make lovely favors for your beach wedding. Use magnets shaped like seashells, starfish, palm trees or some other object that evokes your seaside location. Your guests will probably prominently display your favors on their refrigerators. They’ll see your favors daily and will be reminded of your wedding day.
Place-card holders are another type of favor for a beach theme wedding. They will brighten your reception and at the same time, provide a treasured keepsake for your guests. Wedding and gift shops often stock inexpensive place-card holders that have shapes related to the beach or ocean, such as starfish, seashells, sailboats, dolphins and so on. Use these on your reception tables to hold small cards that specify the names and table numbers of your guests. When they return home, your guests will be able to replace the card with a photo and use your favor as a delightful alternative to a traditional picture frame. They’ll appreciate how they can put your favor to use, and they’ll often be reminded of your ceremony.
For practical, inexpensive favors, beach themed bookmarks top the list. Look for something durable and chic like plastic or chrome bookmarks instead of simple paper. Bookmarks topped by palm trees, starfish or even flip flops are easy to find and perfectly match your beach wedding theme. Bookmark favors are practical, too, and guests who love to read will especially appreciate receiving them. The bookmark will be even more treasured if you place it in a small album of photos from your wedding or a book of romantic poems.
