(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.
