Beach and Tropical Wedding Favors
Fun, Unique and Inexpensive Beach Themed Favors for Wedding Guests
Jul 3, 2009
Getting married on the beach is the epitomy of summery, tropical wedding fun. And what better wedding favors for a beach wedding than fruity drink mixes, sea shell décor, and items covered in tropical flowers and flip flops?
Sea Shell Picture Frames
The best wedding favors are unique and elegant, and anything decorated with sea shells fits the bill. As a bonus, picture frames are both and useful, making them ideal as beach wedding favors. To take them one step further, a photographer can be set up at the reception to take pictures of each of the guests and present them with their own sea shell-framed keepsake of the wedding.
Other sea shell favors include shell-shaped notepads, candles (molded in the shape of a shell or small pillar candles with shells imbedded in the wax), or small glass jars or vases filled with sand and shells.
Flip Flops
Flip flops, that classic summer beach sandal, are a perfect design for wedding favors. It's relatively easy to find small paper notepads and even candles in the shape of flip flops. Real flip flops can be personalized with the bride and groom's names and the date and given away as wearable beach wedding favors.
Tropical Flowers
What could be better suited to a beach wedding than the beauty of lush, tropical flowers? The vivid colors of hibiscus, flamingo flowers, African tulip and orchids make unique and memorable wedding favors.
Tropical beach flowers can be used to decorate coasters, picture frames (with the same photograph idea as above) and even molded candles in the shape of exotic blossoms. Potted blossoms or small bud vases of cut flowers can be used as table centerpieces that guests can then take home with them.
Margarita Mixes and Drink Tools
Margaritas and pina coladas are the flavor of a relaxing day at a tropical beach. It's possible to make elegant wedding favors of decoratively packaged margarita mix. Pina colada and iced tea in single servings decorated with palm trees or hibiscus are another good option.
Other fun drink-themed wedding favors include personalized wedding martini or margarita glasses, cute notepads in the shape of a glass or a fruity drink, or wine bottle stoppers topped with a sea shell emblem, a starfish, or seahorse.
The best wedding favors are unique and elegant and should always fit in with the theme and decorations of the reception. Beach wedding favors can be fun, classy, and simple, especially if guests are travelling a distance to the wedding and will have to pack favors in limited space in their luggage.
