Summer Wedding Favors: Wonderful Reminders of Your Summer Wedding
April 16, 2008
Many couples opt for a summer wedding. Their choice of the season may be due to personal reasons while others are just following family traditions. Then there are couples who would only want to take advantage of the benefits that summer brings, from the pleasant weather to the availability of more choices in planning. The same flexibility extends to picking the summer wedding favors to please their guests.
Summer offers a wide range of activities for everyone which opens the door to endless options for a summer wedding favor.
Flowers bring the excitement of summer into the wedding. Maintain that summer feeling on the tables and decorate with lots of flowers. Guests too would love to have their own flowers to take home with them so why not give them small flower vases which you can personalize by adding your names and wedding date at the bottom. Don’t forget to fill them with silk roses for a complete summer look.
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.
Expand the panorama by decorating the tables with cute shells, clams, sand crabs, and starfish handcrafted from resin or marble or any materials. They’ll be your guests’ summer trinkets they can enjoy even in the cold of winter.
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?
Picture frames are charming and useful at the same time. Choose those that have seashells around the border. Then put in an engagement photo of the happy couple. Miniature surfboards make fantastic summer wedding favors too especially if either or both the bride and groom are avid surfers. Even mini buckets would look great as candle holders. Just remember to include the tea lights and embellish them with ribbons to keep the wedding look.
Even if you’re heading to the forest for your honeymoon, you can still choose summer wedding favors that suggest the great outdoor adventure you will have. Your friends can share your excitement for the Black Forest of Germany or the mountains of Montana.
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.
There are so many things you can give as summer wedding favors. You can easily find one that is truly representational of what it is you want to share with your guests. In the end, whatever you choose for a summer wedding favor would always be a happy reminder of that wonderful day.
