7 Wonderful Summer Wedding Favors for Your Summer Wedding
May 6, 2008 – 12:34 pmIt is a trend nowadays for couples to get married during summer. The choice may be personal or just to follow traditions, but they know that summer brings a lot more opportunity and space to do what they want in their wedding. It is not as restricting as what other seasons bring in; this flexibility extends to choosing the summer wedding favors to please the wedding guests.
The variety of activities enjoyed during Summer opens up an array of themes to incorporate into a summer wedding favor.
Summer is all about fun, flowers and the beach. Guests would be amazed on how you will make the reception hall come alive with flowers of complementing color combinations. Carnation pinks and purple orchids with white lilies — your guests would surely want to bring those fresh flowers to their homes. A brilliant idea is to give them hand-painted flower vases that you can easily personalize with a touch of your name and wedding date at the side. Complete the summer look by filling the vases with silk roses.
Share with your guests snippets of your honeymoon plans. If you intend to go to the lake where you’ll do some sailing, you can use that in designing your summer wedding favors. The perfect gift would be a miniature glass sailboat adorned with a wedding symbol. You can add a few tiny beach balls in different colors to portray a likely scene during your honeymoon.
Keep that ball rolling by pairing it with some delightful handcrafted starfish and clams. Decorate the table with a tiny marble sand crab and you’ll give your guests a gift they’ll remember long after the special day.
Or, is it a tropical island honeymoon for you? Remind your guests of how much fun you’ll have lazing on the beach and the many activities lined up for you. A little golf bag with clubs will say it all. And so will place card holders with pineapple-shaped bases. How about giving out miniature sandboxes with flip flop leather key chains with Hawaiian prints?
Everyone likes photo frames. Fill them with a picture of the bride and groom the day they got engaged. Complete the setting with a sea shell lining around the rim. Add a miniature surfboard of the type the happy couple shared on that happy day. Or, opt for a miniature copy of the bucket they used to build a sandcastle. Here, those could be in the form of a candle holder.
If you’re heading for a wild (read: forest, nature, mountains) honeymoon, you can give summer wedding favors that reflect the adventure you’ll have in the great outdoor. How about figurines of the wildlife or even flower-shaped soaps?
A good idea is to provide mini-lanterns that hold either a bulb or a tea light candles to add more light at the tables. For a truly representational summer wedding favor, you can give tiny cabins set under miniature redwoods or pine trees. Or, you can choose small ceramic horses to depict the many horse rides you will enjoy during your vacation. Your guests will only be too happy to display your gifts in their home.
The possibilities are endless. But no matter which summer wedding favors you choose you can’t go wrong. Every guest will be happy with the summer wedding favor you select because it will remind them of the joy they shared with you that special day.
