Easy Ideas for Beach Wedding Favors

Beach Bags of Salt Water Taffy

For ocean side beach weddings, purchase little burlap or fabric beach bag favors and fill them with bulk wrapped salt water taffy. You may want to add a cute flip flop key chain or other novelty item. Rolls of Life Savers candies also work and you can even add personalized wrappers with the bride and groom’s names and the wedding date.

Alternatively, you could place clear packages of customized blue M&Ms candies into the bags of beach wedding favors. You could get blue M&Ms personalized with the bride and groom’s names or with a light-hearted theme message such as “Love’s a Beach.”

Mini Frisbees with Seashell Chocolates

It’s a tiny plastic plate – no, it’s a flying beach toy! Mini Frisbees filled with seashell-shaped chocolates make smart beach wedding favors. Wide mesh netting fabric is the perfect choice to cover the Frisbees before securing one end with ribbon and attaching a little starfish or seashell themed thank you card.

Beach Shovels of Candy

Buy children’s beach shovels in a color to go with your beach wedding. It’s a good idea to base the size on the place setting space and the look you want. Fill with wrapped candies or use candy packages that go with the wedding’s colors and themes. Secure the candy by using netting and gathering it up at the base of the shovel. Secure with ribbon and add more ribbon and a thank you card hanging from the handle.

Sea of Love Boats

Sailboats with room to hold candy or mints make great beach wedding favors. Make them even better by writing on the sails with a fine-tipped dark marker. The large one might read “Sailing together on the sea of love.” The smaller sails could have the bride and groom’s names or just their first initials such as “T + C.”

Message in a Bottle

Cork-topped mini glass bottles can make cute beach wedding favors. Your message inside each bottle favor could read “Love is a day at the beach. Thanks for being here with us. Kelly and Nicholas” Roll the notes and tie with narrow ribbon. You could add some tiny shells or silver colored starfish charms to the bottles.

Awesome Ideas for Personalized Wedding favors

Personalized Stickers

You can order all types of stickers with the bride and groom’s names plus the wedding date. This way, creating personalized wedding favors couldn’t be easier. Just look for colors and sizes of stickers that suit your wedding theme and color scheme. You could even use the stickers for the seals on the backs of your invitation envelopes. Personalized stickers are also great for wedding favor box tops and on bottles of bubbles that you leave on outside chairs for guests to use during an outdoor marriage ceremony.

Personalized Mini Photo Album with Disposable Camera

Mini photo albums embossed with the bride and groom’s names and the date make enjoyable personalized wedding favors when given along with a disposable camera. Guests can use the camera right then to capture moments from your wedding and later keep those memories in the album.

Personalized M&Ms Clear Heart Boxes

Clear favor boxes containing personalized M&Ms candies in your wedding color make simple and fun favors. You could use clear heart shaped boxes or any shape you prefer. Even small clear glass bottles filled with message M&Ms make great personalized weding favors. Don’t forget to dress up the boxes or bottles with pretty ribbon and attach a hole-punched thank you card.

Personalized Mini Gift Baskets

Fill individual mini natural baskets with candy or little charms that go with the theme of your wedding. Use baskets with handles. This way, the cellophane can be gathered up to the top of the handles and then secured with personalized ribbon with the names of the bride and groom plus the wedding date.

Personalized Ice Cream Scoop

You could buy attractive stainless steel ice cream scoops and have them engraved with the bride and groom’s first initials and the numerical date such as “L & E 06-20-12.” Fill the scoop with candy or other small items and wrap it in sheer fabric. Add ribbon, a bow and a round note to these
personalized wedding favors that reads: “Here’s the scoop: Leah and Ethan got married today! Thanks for being here.”
