Beach Wedding Favors
A beach or tropical wedding creates special memories. Along with this is the unique opportunity to give your guests a special, memory-invoking wedding favor to take home.
Not only do your guests get to enjoy a day at the beach as you share your nuptials with them, but they can take home a little piece of this paradise with your beach- or tropical-themed wedding favor. Every time they look at your beach wedding favor, your guests will remember that glorious day at the beach.
Following are some beach wedding favor ideas to get your imagination started:
- Wrap small bottles of champagne or sparkling fruit juice with tulle that matches your wedding colors. With a glue gun, attach little shells among the folds of the tulle for a unique and classy beach-y theme.
- Candles with shells embedded right into the wax are a lovely and sunny reminder of your beach or tropical wedding, and are sure to cheer up your guests long after your special day. You can also buy them with hollowed-out middles that contain a glass candle-holder, so they may be used over and over with the addition of a new tealight.
- A set of barbecue skewers or drink mixing sticks with beach themes (ends that are formed as shells, or flipflops, beach umbrellas and sunglasses for example) can be a fun reminder of your wedding, while also being useful for your guests at their next party. Tie the sets with a little raffia in keeping with the beach theme, and you have an adorable and memorable beach wedding favor.
- Bouquets of fresh tropical or local flowers in simple glass or cream ceramic vases make for simple, elegant tropical wedding favors. Not only can you brighten up the home of your guests for a few days, the vases have the added bonus of being reusable: the more simple and classic the style of vase you use, the more likely your guests will find it useful in the future.
- How about a set of individual shells in a ceramic display bowl or plate? As long as you can a provide safely-wrapped way for guests to transport their gift home, this makes for a great and unique beach wedding favour. You could also include some stones or bits of metallic confetti for a special touch.
