A theme wedding is a creative way to relax the mood of your affair and invite a bit of imaginative spirit into the air. The right theme can make a classy wedding more affordable and fun, and will engage your guests, making your special day everyone’s day.
A beach theme is an exciting way to spruce up an outdoor reception and take advantage of good weather, as well as to warm up and add color to a wedding during the year’s colder months.
During those warmer months, a beach theme wedding is perfect for a reception in a backyard with a pool. Not only will you save money on hall rentals, but your theme will provide its own entertainment, creating a more intimate atmosphere among your guests.
To promote this theme, you should have coordinating wedding favors to adorn your tables. Beach theme favors tend to be popular with guests because the beach itself comes with an air of fun—no one ever feels stress thinking about the beach and the ocean.
Not only do beach themed favors make memorable keepsakes, but they also tend to be simpler and thus much less expensive.
When choosing your favors, try to capture the essence of the beach and of the sea. You might consider scented soaps and candles that carry oceanic aromas.
Photo frames with gritty, sandy textures make for gifts that your guests will love to hold on to, fun and colorful placecard holders always make for loveable desk trinkets, and you should especially have lots and lots of seashells.
Here are a few beach themed favors suggestions:
