Many of us are choosing the beach as a venue for our weddings, be it at home or abroad. So when it comes to wedding favors, seashells are a natural choice. To many, the sea evokes a sense of romance & beauty, whilst the creatures of the sea are regarded as mystical & exciting. So it is little wonder that the sea has inspired many varieties of wedding favor, from the nautical to the tropical, with seashells being the most loved choice.

If you would like to give seashells as wedding favors here are a few ideas for you to consider:

· Use large seashells as vessels for candles or look for shell shaped candles in box sets.

· Salt & pepper sellers in the shape of seashells are both functional & whimsical. Your guests will always remember your wedding each time they use them.

· Give your guests silver plated keepsake boxes in the shape of shells or with a shell motif. As an extra touch place a white chocolate ‘pearl’ inside!

· For favors with duplicity, look for shell shaped place card holders made in pewter. They not only add elegance to your tables, but your guests can take them home afterwards & use them as paperweights.

· If you are the creative type why not make your own wedding favors with a seaside theme? Purchase some glassine envelopes & place inside some pretty shells which you have collected from the beach. Seal the envelopes with glue & attach a ribbon bow & thank you tag (shell shaped of course!).

Wedding favors for a beach wedding have a beauty all of their own & can be as fun & whimsical as you wish. With a beach wedding or theme, it is all about finding favors that are fitting symbols of the sea & that will inspire your guests to remember the beauty & elegance of your wedding day.

Beach weddings are becoming increasingly popular, both at home & abroad. The sea can provide much inspiration for wedding favors & whilst you can buy ready made beach themed favors, it always a nice idea to make your own.

For some creative, unique & stylish wedding favors, take a look at these ideas:

Starfish

Starfish are a key symbol of the sea & a popular motif for wedding stationery for a beach wedding. Starfish can be bought from seaside gift stores fairly inexpensively. Tie some ribbon to one ‘leg’ of the starfish or around the center & attach a thank you tag.

Your guests can use them as a decorative element at home, perhaps in the bathroom or kitchen.

Pebbles

Find some nice flat round pebbles which are roughly about the same size. I wouldn’t condone taking them directly from the beach, so visit a garden center for a bag of river washed pebbles.

Using a metallic marker pen or other suitable pen write your guests names on one side & a thank you message on the other. These then can double as place markers & wedding favors. Your guests can use them as paperweights or decorative objects at home.

Sea Goody Bags

There are many cosmetic & beauty products on the market which utilize the minerals in sea water & seaweed. Give your guests goody bags containing some of these products.

If your budget is tight buy big bottles & decant into smaller bottles, include mini soaps, sponges & a scented votive candle, for a real sea inspired spa gift bag.

Magnets

Use things from the sea to create fridge magnets. Look for interesting sea shells, small starfish, & pretty pebbles. You will find magnets at craft stores; make sure you buy magnets large enough to hold the thing they are attached to in place. You need to make sure that the things the magnets are attached to are big enough to hide the magnet & have a suitable spot on which to attach the magnet.

Alternatively, visit your beach location (if possible) & take a photograph. Try going at sunset or sunrise for a stunning scene. Alternatively take photographs of items you find on the beach, particularly if you are adept at taking arty shots. These can be used to create fridge magnets by using magnet kits which you will find at craft stores.

Seaside Fun

Give your guests wedding favors which will allow them to have fun at the beach. How about buckets & spades & challenge them to a sand castle building competition? Or roll-up beach mats, beach towels, beach games, beach balls or parasols.

A Cold Treat

Arrange for an ice cream van to call after your wedding breakfast or during the buffet & give each guest a ticket for a free ice cream of their choice.

Alternatively make your own ice lollies with personalized sticks – add your thank you message or a joke; make sure there is somewhere cold enough at your reception venue for you to store them & then get your flower girls &/or page boys to hand them out.

Indian weddings are colorful & elaborate occasions, filled with vibrant colors & symbolisms. If you are having an Indian wedding or are looking for some inspiration for your wedding favors then here are some ideas to consider.

At an Indian wedding the bride will have her hands & feet decorated with henna tattoos known as “mehndi” a few days before the wedding. She will wear a beautiful red sari made from silk fabric nine yards long & she will adorn herself with gold bracelets, anklets & rings.

In India the elephant is considered sacred & symbolizes strength & stability. Give your guests wedding favors of miniature elephant ornaments or how about elephant shaped candles or soaps. Wrap them in tulle bags & finish with some vibrant embroidered ribbon.

Staying with elephants, why not give the female guests silver elephant charms & elephant shaped cufflinks for the men as wedding favors. They make lovely wearable gifts which are unlikely to be locked in drawer for eternity! Other elephant themed wedding favors include paperweights, key rings, hanging ornaments & bottle stoppers.

The newly married couple is traditionally showered with jasmine & rose petals in an Indian wedding as it is believed to banish evil spirits & bad vibrations. Make up wedding favors with potpourri made with rose petals & jasmine flowers or give bottles of rose water or jasmine scent.

You will find favor bags made in colorful silks & finished with Indian inspired embroidery. These bags are wonderful when filled with coffee beans or even fragrant spices. Or why not give your guests a henna tattoo kit & hire someone to give your guests henna tattoos on the back of their hands at the reception. Add in a little booklet with trivia & facts about India inside.

Colorful bracelets are a lovely gift for your female guests. Give each one about twenty bracelets each tied together with ribbon. They make a lovely colorful display & are inexpensive to buy. Give your male guests some sachets of curry spice or even a curry recipe to make at home.

Indian style wedding favors do not need to expensive or overly elaborate to impress your guests. With a little creative thinking you can put together wedding favors which your guests will love & adore for a long time to come.

Think of all the weddings you’ve been to in your lifetime; chances are some you can recall easily, others you have a vague recollection of being there.

What is it about those weddings that are more memorable? How did the bride and groom make their event one that the guests enjoyed, not only while they were in attendance, but months and even years later as they remembered the event? Ever wonder how to make a wedding memorable for a lifetime?

There is a very simple secret to making your wedding – and virtually any other event, for that matter – absolutely unforgettable. It’s not difficult, it has nothing to do with money or your budget, and once you know that secret, you’ll be well on your way to making your own wedding just as memorable.

And that secret is to make things personal. The key to how to make a wedding memorable is to make it absolutely your own. Sure, it’s tempting to want to copy that fabulous reception arrangement you see in a bridal magazine or do what the “experts” tell you should do during the ceremony and reception, but the bottom line is that this is your wedding, it’s your day.

Being inspired by those pictures and by what you’ve seen at other weddings is great, but these should be thought of as merely a stepping stone or jumping off point. You need to tailor that inspiration to make it unique to you.

This may be something as simple as mixing up your flower centerpieces – if you see a photo of roses as a centerpiece and you happen to love roses, try white on one table, red on another, pink on another, and so on. Tie the vases with a piece of fabric that matches your theme or bridesmaid’s dresses. Or, decorate the buffet table with small photos of the two of you from over the years, and loop ribbon around them, in a sort of timeline leading up to your special day. These are simple and affordable but still very unique ways of how to make a wedding memorable.

Making you big day personal can be somewhat difficult when you’re having a very traditional ceremony, as people are afraid to write their own vows or do anything out of the norm. However, you can still accomplish this by just being very dignified about what you’re doing; avoid telling funny stories about your first horrible date or making jokes about how you can’t wait for the wedding night when you’re reciting those vows!

Another secret of how to make a wedding memorable is to personalize your wedding is to give the guests something very special to take home with them. Personalized favors and wraps have been a popular choice for many brides because they usually come in a variety of colors and designs, from fun and whimsical to traditional and elegant. Some of the best sites on the web for personalized candy bar wrappers are www.TheKnot.com, and www.FavorsAndWraps.com, where you can find unique designs for not just your wedding reception, but bridal showers, bachelorette parties, baby showers, and virtually any other event as well.

With just a little bit of thought and personalization, you too can have the secret of how to make a wedding memorable for a lifetime.

Bored of getting the most common wedding favors? Now that it’s your turn to give out one, why not do away with the usual bride-and-groom figurines, key chains and small picture frames? It’s time for you to exercise your creative juices when picking out wedding favors for your beloved guests.
When selecting for wedding favors, you basically have a very wide array of choices. The most important thing to keep in mind is that the wedding favors you’ve chosen are within your budget. And of course, these little keepsakes would be in line with the theme of your wedding.
Here a few wedding favor suggestions that have a flair for uniqueness and creativity.Wine Stoppers
If you want to impress, then why don’t you use wine stoppers as wedding keepsakes. These wine accessories would look chic and modern, especially if you choose unique designs. In addition, wine stoppers would prove to be very useful as it is really hard to put back the cork once a bottle is already opened. These wine stoppers would preserve those highly volatile and sought-after vintage wines.
These wedding favors come in different shapes and sizes, especially the top part. You can select from cork, rubber or plastic wine stoppers. There are also stoppers that are made of wood, plastic, or even crystals and special metals. Surely, with enough time to scout for them, you can get the wine stoppers that would fit your taste and mood.Fairytale-Inspired Ornaments
If your wedding is one that’s inspired by a fairytale, then it’s but proper that your wedding favors would have a touch of magic and romance. Just make sure, however, that the tiny things you’ve chosen as wedding keepsake aren’t things related to the villains of the fairytales. Otherwise, it would create a very negative impression.
For instance, if you’re a Cinderalla fan, then you could make use of her tiny Cinderella coach ornaments. You could even look for glass slipper miniatures. These wedding favors would truly add a romantic and magical touch to your already magnificent fairytale wedding.
If you are a fan of Iron Heinrich, then you can always come up with Frog Prince scented candles. These green stuffs would look truly refreshing and “hopeful.”Garden Items
If you are having a garden wedding, then your wedding favors should also speak of the same scenery. If you’re crazy about daisies, then why don’t you look for scented candles that are shaped like those blossoms? You could even go for rose-shaped candles if you are a fan on this type of flower.
A garden-themed wedding is not just about flowers. Expand your horizon and make use of other things that can be found in the garden. Pails are one of them; so miniature tin pails with tiny petals would also prove to be great wedding favors. Get into the seasons drama and come up with personalized fall leaves as wedding keepsakes. These meaningful leaves can be made of plastic or crepe paper, among other materials.
Remember, however, that the success of a wedding ceremony does not solely lie on the beauty of your wedding favors. There are other aspects of the wedding preparation that need your attention. But if you have the luxury of time and money, it wouldn’t hurt to get creative with your wedding favors. After all, as keepsakes, they are the things that your guests will remember you by.
