Wedding Favors: Beach Momentos Your Guests Will Value

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.

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.

Another unpretentious and easy on the pocket option for oceanfront wedding favors is seashells. Visit party supply and hobby and craft stores to find shells that are unbroken and fairly uniform in size. While you are in the store, be sure to also pick up some low-cost fishing net material. Cut the fishing net into small squares. Place a few shells in the center of each square. Draw the corners of the square together and tie them with pink, blue or coral silk ribbon. This creates surprisingly appealing favors. Beach wedding guests will love 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.

Place-card holders are yet another alternative for tropical wedding favors. They can liven up the atmosphere of your reception and can also be used by your guests as mementos. Wedding and gift shops usually offer inexpensive place-card holders in shapes related to the ocean or the beach, like dolphins, seashells and starfish. They are placed on the tables at your reception and hold cards that provide your guests’ names and table numbers. When they return home, your guests can slip a photo inside and use the place-card holder as a playful picture frame. They will thank you for giving them a useful wedding favor, and they’ll often be reminded of your ceremony and reception.

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.
