Wedding favors are that final touch that makes a wedding reception special. If you're looking for fun, unique, and inexpensive party favors that will delight your wedding guests, you'll find that creative ideas abound – especially for summer weddings, where the beach, nature, sports and flowers are perfect wedding themes.
The best wedding favors should be unique and elegant and should always fit in with the theme and decorations of the reception. Considering a summer wedding with a tropical, beach, sporty, or floral theme? Try on some of these unique and affordable wedding favor ideas.
Seashell Party Favors for the Tropical Beach Wedding
What could be more perfect for a beach wedding than party favors in the shape of seashells, starfish and sea urchins? It's easy to find inexpensive candles or votive candle holders decorated in beach themes. Candles in the form of shells, starfish, and even flip flops make cute, fun party favors.
If you're willing to spend a little more, small glass bud vases in the form of a shell or a sea urchin can be used as centerpieces. At the end of the party, the vases and the flowers in them become elegant wedding favors that can be taken home and used for years to come.
Personalized Golf Balls for the Sports Enthusiast
Whether or not your guests share your love of the sport, golf balls make great favors at a summer wedding. They're small, durable, cute (just look at those dimples!) and they can easily be personalized with the names of the bride and groom, the date, and anything else you'd like to include. Most places that will personalize golf balls for your wedding offer classic symbols like a flower, dove, and other emblems with which you can embellish these wedding favors.
Wildflower Seeds for the Natural, Floral or Outdoor Summer Wedding
For couples considering an outdoor wedding in the full bloom of summer, flowers and the beauty of nature are a memorable part of the big day. So a unique wedding favor like a packet of wildflower seeds will remind guests of your wedding with style and natural elegance.
It's possible to buy personalized wildflower seeds with the bride and groom's names, the date, and other details designed right into the package. Other bridal stores sell handmade paper imbedded with wildflower seeds that has been cut into the shape of a heart, wedding cake, or a flower. All guests have to do is plant and water this special paper and it will sprout beautiful summer wildflowers.
Cherry Blossom Wedding Favors for a Floral Wedding
The cherry blossom is a Japanese symbol of prosperity and good luck. A traditional symbol of love and marriage, cherry blossom wedding favors can be found that are a perfect fit for a floral themed summer wedding.
Cherry blossom designs are seen on everything from tiny jars of scented hand cream and lip balm to wedding mints, decorated bars of soap, and even paper or silk fans decorated with elegant and distinctive cherry blossom motifs. Most of these favors can be personalized if desired.
