Summer Wedding Favors to Remind Your Guests of Your Wedding Day
It 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.
If you’re getting married in the summer, know that there are plenty of summer activities and elements you can incorporate in your wedding favors.
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.
Create a postcard-like image in their imagination of your destiny for your honeymoon. If you plan to go to a tropical island, you may use that thought in creating your summer wedding giveaways. A perfect one would be a sun-shaped glass miniature with an attached wedding symbol. Etch your initials at the back to personalize it.
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?
To add a more dramatic effect, put in mini-lanterns that give off a soft glowing light. The ultimate time to go on log cabin vacations is in summer. Try to create that feel with miniature cabins placed with the pine trees. Small, delicate ceramic horses that are beautifully crafted make for unique summer wedding favors, and an apt representation of the many horse rides you’ll be enjoying on your honeymoon vacation. Wedding guests will be thrilled to bring home these delightful favors and display them in their homes.
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.
