Exciting Beach Theme Wedding Favors

Many couples opt for a beach themed wedding, even if the “beach” has to be created on the shores of a lake or river. Beach theme wedding favors offer a way to emphasize that theme.

Here are ten examples of the many available.

1. Seal superfine sand, and a few tiny seashells in small bottles. Add a tag with a word of thanks, the date, and your names. Tie the tag with ribbon.

2. Let your beach theme wedding favors remind guests of happy childhood days at the beach. Use tiny, painted sand pails (about 2″) filled with blue wax candles, seashells embedded in the wax, and a dainty ribbon on the handle.

3. Colorful leather flip-flops attached to key chains make a casual, sporty beach theme wedding favor.

4. A more elegant beach theme wedding favor might be a silver seashell frame to hold a photo or placecard - or seashell salt and pepper shakers.

5. Personalizing your beach theme wedding favors is easy with something like photo coasters. One example seen on the Internet is decorated with starfish and shell images, a small photo in the center.

6. For a romantic seaside wedding, your beach theme wedding favors might be candles in small glass pails, each candle topped with tiny seashells.

7. If your wedding is in Hawaii, Hawaiian shirt place card holders would be cute beach theme wedding favors. Or use aloha soap favors.

8. Not every beach is an ocean beach, of course, and your beach theme wedding favors might be love rocks. These can easily be a do-it-yourself project. Buy tumbled, shiny rocks, and write the word “Love” on each one with a permanent felt-tip marker. Be sure you choose a marker with a fine or superfine tip. Make simple white or pastel tulle bags, insert a pair of love rocks in each, and tie with ribbon. Attach tags, and your beach theme wedding favors are ready for your special day.

9. Miniature rattan bags are great for any beach theme: ocean, lake, or river. Fill the tiny baskets with a few candies, a candle, miniature soap, or any other token, and you have a great beach theme wedding favor.

10. A spectacular beach theme wedding favor for an evening wedding is a small frosted glass sailboat that holds a tea candle. Set your tables with marine blue tablecloths, and light the candles as the sun sets. This makes a very romantic presentation.

Sandy, sporty, elegant, casual, romantic - your beach theme wedding favors will say thank you in a memorable way.
