Planning Your Anna Maria Island Beach Wedding

Beach Wedding Favors...

Deciding to have your dream wedding on an Anna Maria Island beach means that you get to have a little fun when picking out your Wedding Favors.

A lot of the time, having your wedding on the beach can help you save quite a bit of money. This gives you a little wiggle room when choosing what type of gift you would like to give to the guests of your wedding.

Traditional Wedding Favors

Traditional wedding favors include things like small packaged candies, matches, wedding bubbles, fortune cookies, fridge magnets and miniature bottles of wine.

Wedding Favor Ideas for Your Dream Beach Wedding on Anna Maria Island

Though any of these are still excellent ideas - it’s kind of fun to play around with conventional ideas and put a fun, creative spin on them for your dream beach wedding on Anna Maria Island.

For example, most people do like wine, and it’s a great idea for a wedding favor to send your guests home with a nice little bottle to say ‘Thank you for coming!’. Instead of using plain labels on your personalized wine bottles, try something with a seashell or sand dollar. You could also drill tiny holes into smaller seashells and attach them to ribbons or strings, and drape them around the neck of the bottle.

Mini-lanterns are a great choice as well, and they will help set a certain ambiance when placed on each guests’ table setting. Print off or purchase small tags with a tropical beach theme and attach to the lanterns, thanking them for their attendance.

Chocolate is delicious, and is always a welcomed wedding favor! Find small chocolate shells and starfish, and put them into a small box with a personalized note on top.

Send your guests home with a personalized beach tote. This is a great way for them to carry home any extra stuff that they may have picked up in their travels - and will provide them with a great reminder of your big day for years to come.

Check out some websites, where you can find things like beach shaped cookie cutters, nautical themed wine stoppers, coconut candles, beach coasters and much more!

Wedding Favor Tips!

Purchasing favors on Anna Maria Island will be less to pack and it supports the local economy. To save stress and avoid any potential problems, order ahead so you can quickly pick them up before the wedding.

If you do decide to bring favors with you, avoid glass and breakable items - and also chocolate or anything that could melt or spoil during your travels.

If you are only inviting a small amount of people, you may decide to skip the wedding favors altogether and instead, pay for your guests’ post-wedding breakfast along with a thank you card for attending.
