You are getting married this Summer. Maybe you’re traditional. Maybe you just enjoy the greater convenience of a summer wedding. Or, perhaps you chose the date because it represents something personal. Whatever the reason, planning a summer wedding gives you thousands of choices. That extends to summer wedding favors that will delight your guests.
The variety of activities enjoyed during Summer opens up an array of themes to incorporate into a summer wedding favor.
Summer flowers are a delight at any wedding. Continuing that look to decorate the table and provide a small gift for guests is a great idea. Small flower holders, perhaps personalized with the bride and groom’s names and the date is one way to do so. Fill the little vase with silk summer roses and you’ve got a hit.
Imagine sailing over the lake near your honeymoon cottage. Use that image in your summer wedding favors. A small glass sailboat with a logo that evokes a wedding can be the perfect choice. Add to the scene with some small, colorful beach balls and you’ve got a ‘mini movie’ worthy of your wedding.
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.
Maybe you’re heading out to a tropical island for your honeymoon vacation. Perfect. Sea breezes, water sports, lazing in the sun. Provide your guests with miniature reminders of the joy to come. A tiny golf bag and clubs will amuse many. Or, select some pineapple-themed name card holders. Toss into the little sandbox some flip flop leather keychains in Hawaiian colors.
One of the most sentimental wedding favors is the picture frame. You can turn a plain picture frame into a summer-inspired wedding favor by decorating it with nautical stripes along the border with blue and white colored glitters, and seashells. Complete it with a photo of you and your partner. Miniature goggles and flippers make great summer wedding favors too especially if one or both of you are diving enthusiasts. Mini colorful pails are perfect as candle holders; don’t forget to include scented tea lights and decorate then with bows to enhance the motif.
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.
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.
