Florida Weddings

by Tracy Reeder

Florida beach weddings provide a perfect backdrop to one of the most important moments of you life. Any ceremony can be made douly beautiful if you chose to do it at any of the popular locations: Destin Weddings, Panama City Weddings on the Beach, Pensacola Wedding, Navarre, Perdido Key, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Cocoa Beach, Clearwater, Jacksonville, Daytona, Sandestin, Miramar, Grayton. When the festivities are over, though, giving a nice parting gift helps your guests to remember your most special day.

Giving out wedding favors is a good way to thank your guests for coming. Choosing the right favor to give, though, will take some thought: do you buy store'bought ones, or make your own? Premade favors can cost anywhere between less than one to more than five dollars. Just take the entire budget you'd like to allocate for favors and divide it by the number of guests that are coming- that shold give you a good idea of how much each gift is going to cost.

There are so many things you can give out as favors. For a gambling-themed wedding (a theme that more and more couples are using), you can give out decks of cards with your wedding pictures on them. Even something as simple as a bookmark can make a good wedding favor: get a bunch from your local bookstore, the unprinted kind, and put a personal note for each guest on it. You can opt to have your photos printed on it too, if you have the time and budget for it.

The kinds of wedding favors given to guests have changed, over the course of the years. With so many couples who wish for much more personalized themes, they're coming up with new themes every day: hearts and flowers themes, valentines themes, or wine and beach themes. And with new themes popping up with increasing frequency, wedding favors have also evolved.

There a re a lot of shops that cater to your needs. They can personalize plates and ceramicware, or candles and picture frames and bags. Calendars can be a good favor, and it doesn't have to cost you much: just take some of your wedding photos, put them through a calendar-making program in your computer, and you've got yourself a personalized calendar. A fun favor can also make a game out of your wedding. Use details from the wedding like the theme, dates, and the names of people who were present to make puzzles and trivia games as favors.

You could also buy your special kind of gourmet coffee and pack enough for one pot. Fill it up in a pretty container and tie it with a ribbon. Another great wedding guest favor idea is to buy fortune cookies. Then with care, remove the message placed there and replace it with your own message. You could wrap up five cookies per person to represent the wishes for wealth, longevity, fertility, health, and happiness. Using this established tradition will remind guests that you want to thank them for attending your Florida weddings on the beach.
