When planning for your big day, it is but natural to first think about a theme that would primarily govern your decorations, invitations and favors. The sun and the sand has always been a huge hit with brides and grooms. A perfectly planned beach wedding can be the ultimate choice for you and your guests.
Beach parties and weddings are the most glamorous ones and incorporate color, glitz and all things bright and beautiful. You can start things off by sending out beach themed invitations and a small amount of white sand in each guest’s wedding invitation. You can really do up your party with mini beach pails, wooden sailboat decoration, beach wine charms, beach candle champagne glasses, sand shell candle centerpieces and beach theme place card holders.

Bridesmaids and groomsmen could wear beach wedding colors in shades of ocean green, sky blue, and sand beige. The wedding cake can either be lime, pineapple or chocolate with some mango sauce. A reggae beat or some Caribbean tunes would be just perfect to set the mood. Some ocean themed place card holder favors, beach themed photo frames, starfish design bottle stopper favors or scallop shell bottle stopper favors in a personality box would be inexpensive and the perfect giveaways for your guests. Everything from a sand filled invitation, citrus cake to beach theme favors would play their part in making a beach wedding exotic.

Beach parties are exciting and fun. Looking for gifts and beach party favors is a fun task as there are tons of unique, personalized gifts available. The brilliant colors of the beach like natural earthy beiges, deep blue and green sea colors, and splashes of vivid bright shades can spice up any personal party on the beach or a formal wedding by the peaceful ocean.

Beach themed gifts and favors add a touch of nature in the most elegant way. Some popular picks are shell place cardholders, lighthouse tea light holders, scallop shaped shell, beach candle champagne glass, sand shell candle centerpieces and more.

The open sea and the sun setting over open cool blue water is in itself a fantastic sight and if you can add some exotic beach themed gifts would set the right mood and make sure that your guests have a reason to remember your party for a long time to come. Imagine having plates with candle holders with a starfish design and taking out seashell candy favors from mini woven beach bags tied with exotic sea themed shells and ribbons.

Beach themed parties and party favors can be simple or elaborate, fun or wild—there is something for everyone that can put a smile on all your family and friend’s faces! Showing your appreciation with beach candles, seashell themed scented candles or a starfish design wine bottle stopper can truly set your beach themed party apart from the rest in town.

Weddings can be very expensive, but there are ways to cut back on the cost. Most guests will expect you to have centerpieces and to give wedding favors as a way of showing you, the soon to be newlyweds, care about them. So why not take care of both with only one bill to pay? Here are some ideas for how to incorporate favors as center pieces.

1) Floating items in water.

Not every venue will allow you to have candles, though if they do, I suggest you go with floating candles above. For my roommate’s wedding we deconstructed silk flowers, added a light, and reconstructed the flower around them then floated the flowers with beads at the bottom of each one with one of the wedding colors. I have found some soap flowers that could do the trick as well if you would prefer to not spend the 20+ minutes per flower.

These beautiful orchids can be used in 2 ways. The first is that you could just take the confetti and place it in the water and leave the orchids surrounding the bottom or you could reverse. You could also place both inside the water. HotRef has a few different varieties of the flowers and also just plain confetti.

2) Beach themed

Beach themed weddings open up a lot of options for the combining of centerpieces. First thing you can do is use sand and favor bags that look like beach bag. Fill them with some M&Ms and you have a cute center piece and favors in two easy steps.

You can also find sand in many colors to fit your theme.

You can find sea shells and small candles; place them in the sand with some driftwood (or just sticks) to give a being on the beach feel. Below are some wonderful seaside inspired tea light candles that are inexpensive. Sailboats placed strategically in blue sand will give the feeling of being on or next to the ocean! Adding a candle behind the sails that can give the feel of being at the beach and watching the stars.

Get creative, make your own or just combine items to get the centerpiece and favors that your guests can take home. You don’t need one item for every person because you will have couples, families, and people who don’t want to take anything home. This is your special day, so don’t forget to have fun!

All items listed shown above can be found at www.hotref.com, click on the images to be taken to the item pages.

It’s that time of year when summer is starting, schools are getting out, and millions of young adults are celebrating graduating from high school or college. It’s the marking of the time when they stop goofing off and start getting serious, theoretically. How do you make your new grad’s celebration special for them and guest? Try one of these ideas.

Notebooks

These little personalized notebooks allow guest to be able to take notes, jot down phone numbers, addresses, emails and more. They are small enough to be able to fit in your purse, pocket or anywhere else with a nice reminder of all the memories from the past.

Candles

Most people have candles at home to burn. So why not add your own personalized candle to their collection?

Graduation Picture Frame

This is probably my favorite idea for guests. Add your grad’s senior picture or graduation picture and let your guests have the perfect frame to go along with it. Your family, and some friends, with be able to take it home and display your achievement proudly.

(Guys, here’re some advice from wedding expert Ashley Radar on how to plan your perfect wedding. Hope you will find it helpful.

Enjoy.)

Items You Bring to the Beach

You would be surprised at how creative wedding favor manufacturers have become when it comes to favors for a beach wedding.

Let’s think of some items you would normally bring to the beach. Beach chair party favors are available that are so realistic you wish you could enlarge them and keep them in your house to recline and grab that wonderful feeling of beach serenity. Flip flops do absolutely nothing to shield our feet from sand on the beach, but offering them as beach wedding favors will put them to good use for a change. These beach wedding favors can be found in many different vibrant colors.

What about sand pails for the kids? If you have assigned seating you most likely know where the kids are going to be, so why not give the grown-ups something else, and then gift the kids a miniature sand pail that will make them think about the last time their parents brought them to the beach. These beach party favors may motivate many trips to the beach very soon after your wedding.

Items Native to the Beach

People love to collect sea shells at the beach. They probably don’t know why, especially since they usually end up in a bottom drawer somewhere, but they are still collected religiously. So think about giving your guests beach wedding favors that contain several different types of small sea shells. A glass jar is necessary for this wedding favor, so that people can see what they are getting. The sea shells on the tables make your beach wedding theme more convincing.

Sea creatures, such as starfish and scallops are also a great idea for beach wedding favors. Gleaming silver scallop shells are beach party favors that can be used for purposes other than just beautifying your table arrangment. Place cards containing special messages inside of the shell for presentation to your guests. These beach party favors can standalone or be paired with sprinklings of starfish on the tables.

When planning a beach themed wedding, choose beach wedding favors that effectively bring your guests into beach mode, whether they are items you bring to the beach, or items that are already there. Flip flops, beach chairs, and starfish are just a few items that are sure to accomplish this goal for your wedding.
