Beach Theme Wedding Favors  

A beach theme is a great opportunity to create or select wedding favors that reflect your special day. From sandals to sea shells, the options are plentiful and begin with focusing on what you want your guests to remember: fun and relaxed or elegant and simplistic. Whether you choose to create the wedding favors yourself or design them for a professional to create, a beach theme provides many versatile options.  

Traditional Beach Wedding Favors 

For a ceremony and reception that focuses on a beach front location, perfect wedding favors could include miniature sand castles that double as a votive candle holder. Sea shell encrusted votive holders and bud vases are other popular options. Local artisans often have many options for beach theme wedding favors such as a miniature drift wood carvings and small picture frames created from beach glass.  

Guests may not be surprised to find a seashell as a wedding favor, but they may smile when they find either a fortune or special personal note placed inside the shell. Polished shells are beautiful keepsakes and wonderful accents for a beach theme.

Untraditional 

Beach theme wedding favors lend themselves well to being untraditional but still entirely appropriate. Instead of your guests waiting to reach the reception to receive their wedding favor, encourage the relaxed mood of your celebration by offering colorful flip flops for each guest to slip in to as they arrive and head down your sandy aisle. If you have the time and the creativity, you can tack on accents such as fun flowers to the plain straps.  

Fun sunglasses, sun visors and miniature containers of sunblock can be both fun and functional extras, especially for an unprepared guest. Or another fun way to carry out a beach theme is with mini fishbowls filled with candies, the start of a plant or even sand from the very beach you were married.  

Not Everyone Is a Grown Up 

For the youngest members of your wedding celebration, beach theme wedding favors can take on an entirely different point of view. Plastic sand shovels and colorful buckets can provide for some much needed entertainment after all the serious ceremony portions have ended. You could also consider those irresistibly cute children’s sunglasses, creating a perfect group photo opportunity. Containers full of fish shaped crackers or colorful aquatic shaped jelly candies can be a perfect option as well.  

Beach theme wedding favors are extremely versatile. The option to be elegant or fun, traditional or unique is easily possible with so many different variations on a beach theme. 

After the big day is over where will you spend the honeymoon?
