If you want to add a few more personal touches for your guests, and who doesn’t, then here are some ideas for favors to include and the do’s and don’ts of what to bring to the beach destination.
5 Ideas for Beach Wedding Favors:
- Keep it simple- There may not be immediate access to garbage cans and your guests may not be bringing bags or purses onto the sand. So when choosing beach wedding party favors and gifts, avoid items with involving lots of plastic wrapping or bulky items that are a hassle to carry. What’s perfect? Hand held fans or facial water spritzers to keep cool. How about a little bottle of sunscreen to protect dainty hands and feet.
- Sweet Treats- Want the perfect beach wedding treat? Match the salty air with some tasty saltwater taffy. Simply put these yummy treats in a clear baggie, tie with some ribbon, and you have an easy and colorful wedding favor. You can even buy local Florida made taffy and have it shipped. Not into taffy? Choose another sweet or salty snack for your guests to enjoy, such as pretzels, but be sure to stay away from chocolate or other fast melting foods that won’t make it in the Florida sun.
- Practically speaking- No one needs another trinket that’s likely to get tossed minutes after the vow exchange. Think of practical beach wedding favors your guests could enjoy the day of your wedding and in the future. A few ideas: personalized wedding sunglasses or drink holders. How about barefoot or beach sandal keychains? What a nice reminder of your destination wedding in Florida.
- Follow the rules- There is a no glass policy on the beach and the general rule is to leave the beach the same (or better) as when you got there. So before you order those cute mason jars or votive holders, remember the rules. Florida beaches are very environmentally conscious of birds, sea turtles, etc. and cleanliness is key.
- In the sand- There won’t really be anywhere to display your favors. Consider purchasing a basket to place in the sand near the seating area for favors or placing a favor on each guest chair. Most importantly, don’t forget to assign someone to put it out before your guests arrive: helpers on your beach wedding day are a key part of a stress-free ceremony.
More Wedding Ideas
- Tie your gifts into your decor colors: is your heart set on a color scheme for your wedding? Most brides have a palette picked out months beforehand. Pastel is very popular right now and you can match your favors to your wedding package decorations. For instance, our Dusty Blue beach wedding package is perfect by the ocean.
- What if you love bright tropical flowers and colors? Try tropical beach lip balm or tropical theme sunscreen that’s personalized. Your guests will be singing island tunes as they enjoy your walk down the aisle to steel drum music (if you choose) to say, “I do”! You will all look fabulous and be protected from the hot Florida beach weather under your Tropical Distinctive Design beach wedding arch.
Now that you have some great ideas, it’s time to confirm your wedding date. Will you choose a Tampa beach near the Gulf of Mexico or an Orlando beach near the Atlantic ocean shores? Both coasts offer pristine beaches so its just a matter of weather you like turquoise waves or calm emerald waters.
