My girlfriend is planning a beach wedding in Fiji this summer. Though she is just inviting a small circle of friends and family (about 30 people), the planning is definitely going to demand a lot of extra time and attention since it’s a destination wedding.
She’s in the midst of major planning mode right now and she’s already getting a little stressed out. When I asked her about wedding favors, she said they weren’t having any. When I asked why not, she’s said, “Umm … because it’s a beach wedding so we are trying to keep it casual. No one will want favors at an outdoor reception.”
I completely disagreed but I’m not sure if she listened. Even if you are holding a casual beach wedding locally, as opposed to exotic Fiji, you can still provide cute wedding favors for your guests.
Some of the best beach wedding favors that I’ve seen are flip flop favors.
You can get candles, place card holders, keychains or other items with a flip flop theme. These are cute, colorful fun favors that are affordable and perfect for a beach wedding.
These adorable flip flop refrigerator magnets pictured here are around a dollar each! You can’t beat the price. So, even if you are having a casual wedding or are short on funds, don’t skip the wedding favors altogether!
I’ll still try to convince my friend that she should re-consider. Maybe after a few drinks at her bridal shower, she’ll relax a little and be willing to discuss it.
