Ideas for Beach Themed Wedding Favors

By admin • January 21st, 2009

There is nothing quite so romantic and whimsical at the same time as a beach wedding. There is something about looking out over the ocean, with a perfect sea breeze that slightly rustles your wedding dress and standing beside your sole mate, knowing it doesn’t get any better than that.

There are so many different ways to carry your theme to the wedding favors. And you can stick with the more romantic side of the wedding or the whimsical side or a combination of both. Many times beach weddings are on the smaller side, which may allow you to spend a little extra or have multiple favors all designed to continue your beach theme.

If your wedding is going to be completely out in the open you will want to choose favors that will stand up to the wind, sand and sun. If you are going with the more casual and fun theme consider having a sand castle centerpiece and set out some sand castle tea lights. Perhaps add place card holders that look like beach chairs or cut open several coconuts, clean them out and add some floating candles that look like flip flops or beach balls.

You can get green buckets and have the makings of a Margarita in them, or you can get several Margarita glasses and include a recipe for the drink. Or you can get some small bags and include either a drink mix that just screams beach, such as Pineapple Passion or different types of fruit drinks such as lemonade. Consider decorating the bags to match what is inside them and be sure to include some of those colorful little umbrellas.
