You might be planning a beach wedding, or perhaps you're simply planning to use a beach theme for your wedding arrangements. Either way, it makes perfect sense to please your guests by giving them appropriate wedding favors. Beach themed wedding favors that match up with the romance of your seaside setting are best. They enhance your wedding's ambiance and will become a tasteful memento from your ceremony. Your wedding day will be fondly brought to mind whenever a guest sees your favor in their home.
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.
Placing a votive candle inside a small beach bucket or pail creates a simple but appropriate seaside wedding favor. To make these favors, you need to buy plastic beach pails. They can easily be found in hobby shops, so buy several in various colors. Also buy some colored sand while you're at the hobby shop. Fill each bucket about one-quarter full with colored sand, then set a votive candle into the sand. After you tie a brightly colored ribbon around the bucket you're finished! These beach wedding favors are both simple to make and inexpensive, but they also perfectly reflect the ambiance of your ocean-side wedding. Your friends and loved ones will think of your ceremony fondly whenever they see them 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.
For another choice in wedding favors, beach themed magnets are charming. You can buy magnets in the shape of palm trees, starfish, seashells and other beach or ocean related designs. Your guests will likely display your favors prominently on their refrigerators, reminding them daily of your ceremony.
An alternative style of favor for a beach ceremony is place-card holders. Place-card holders can brighten the atmosphere of your reception and also give your guests a keepsake. Wedding and gift shops typically sell inexpensive place-card holders in the shape of sailboats, starfish, seashells, dolphins and others. Place these on tables at your reception to hold cards with your guests name and table number. Back home, your guests can insert a picture and use the place-card holder as a fun, hip alternative to a more traditional picture frame. Guests will appreciate having a practical use for these wedding favors and they will be reminded of your wedding often.
Finally, for practical and inexpensive wedding favors, beach themed bookmarks are our favorite. Instead of simple paper bookmarks, opt for something classier and sturdier such as plastic or chrome. You can easily find bookmarks topped with starfish, palm trees, or even flip flops to blend perfectly with your beach wedding theme. Bookmarks are also practical. Guests who are avid readers will particularly appreciate them. To make this an even more cherished memento, place the book mark in a book of love poems or a small album of photos from your ceremony.
