Choosing the Right Beach or Destination Wedding Favor

Are you planning a beach wedding but are wondering what types of beach wedding favors are appropriate for such a setting? Well, you are not alone as many couples choose to have their wedding ceremony and their wedding reception on the beach or at a venue that is situated right along the ocean. The scenery is beautiful and the sound of the waves crashing on the beach is a calming presence during the romantic exchange of vows. But you may be wondering what types of favors are available for you to use. However, this issue should not be a discouraging one - it creates the perfect opportunity to give out fun, beach themed wedding favors to all the guests. It is probably smart to avoid giving out anything that might melt in the hot sun such as chocolate, candy, or even candles but there are still many beach wedding favors available for you to choose from.

The size and cost of the beach wedding favors will depend on your budget, the number of invited guests, and whether it is a destination wedding or the bride and groom actually live close to the beach. Typically, a destination wedding will have fewer guests. However, it is likely that those guests have invested a considerable amount of time and money traveling to the wedding - so they should get something a bit nicer and more personalized. Larger weddings with many guests, generally call for smaller, more generalized gifts.

Basically, anything having to do with the sand, sun, or surf will be appropriate. Miniature items are always cute and endearing. Look for things like scented soaps, picture frames, note pads, coasters, bottle openers, wine stoppers, or even cookie cutters shaped like seashells, starfish, dolphins, palm trees, sail boats, beach buckets, flip-flops or boats. One or more smaller wedding favors can be put into a petite treasure chest, a tiny beach bag, or perhaps a novelty beach bucket or imitation clamshell. Beach wedding favors that help to keep guests cool, including personalized fans with the date of the wedding and the name of the couple, or an umbrella to ward off the sun are beach wedding favors that are sure to be appreciated - even after the wedding day as they are items that can be used time and again.

For destination weddings or smaller groups, the beach wedding favors can be taken to the next level. Select normal-sized or even oversized canvas beach bags or beach pails and fill them with an assortment of items such as a beach towel, flip flops, a sun visor or straw beach hat, lip balm, sunscreen, reusable water bottle and a disposable camera. A cute touch is to have the items coordinate with the colors of the wedding. By then adding a raffia bow and a few seashells you will have a very impressive beach wedding favor for all of your special guests.

Regardless of where you get married if you plan on using a beach theme for your wedding you want to have the appropriate favors to coordinate with that theme. By being creative you can definitely find some fun beach wedding favors that your guests are sure to love.
