Whether your wedding will be on a beach or you will just be using a beach theme, it makes perfect sense to please your guests by giving them suitable wedding favors. Beach theme wedding favors that evoke an ocean-side setting are ideal. This type of favor will help create the ambiance you want and be a lasting memento of your wedding. Each time a guest looks at your wedding favor, they’ll fondly think about your ceremony.
This article will help you choose the best beach themed wedding favors for pleasing your guests while protecting your budget.
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.
Magnets with a shape and character related to the coastal environment also make charming favors for a beach wedding. You can choose magnets in the shape of starfish, seashells, palm trees or any other form that reflects the seaside surroundings. Your friends and loved ones will likely keep your favor displayed prominently on their refrigerator where they will see it often and be reminded of your blissful event.
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.
Our final suggestions for favors, beach themed bookmarks, are inexpensive and practical. Rather than choosing thin paper bookmarks, go with something more substantial and stylish, like bookmarks made of plastic or chrome. Bookmarks featuring starfish, palm trees or even flip flops blend with your beach theme perfectly and are easy to find. They’re also practical, and guests who are avid readers will especially appreciate them. You can make a beach-themed bookmark even more distinctive by placing it inside a book of romantic poems or a small photo album containing pictures from your wedding.
