Traditional weddings are rapidly making way for more off-the-wall innovative weddings. Sugared almonds and bomboniere are being replaced by alternatives such as CD wedding favours. Also, as many more couples are choosing to tie the knot abroad, beach theme wedding favours are becoming increasingly popular. For some couples, the choice to marry abroad is driven by the cost of a huge wedding not to mention the time they have to wait to secure a venue. For others, it is purely to tie the wedding in with the honeymoon. Some couples base their decision on family feuds and choose to marry alone, overseas without family members "interfering" with their big day.
Whatever people's rationale behind their choice, a wedding is as individual and unique as a person and this should be very much reflected throughout. Whether marrying abroad alone, with friends and family or having a reception on your return, you need to think about wedding favours for your guests. Beach theme wedding favours come in a huge variety and their popularity continues to increase as more couples opt for beach weddings. You may choose to give them to your guests on the day or you may choose to give them to guests back home who could not travel to enjoy your special day. By giving beach theme wedding favours, family and friends can feel very much a part of your beach wedding, even if they were not there to experience it in person.
CD wedding favours are also a fantastic way of involving guests in your special day. For those who attend, you could put together a sound track of you and your partner's favourite songs, or perhaps the song that you have for your "first dance." Alternatively, if you choose to marry without family and friends present, you may record your vows on a DVD. On your return home, you can give your CD wedding favours to your nearest and dearest who will instantly feel a part of your wonderful day.
My husband and I chose to marry abroad and there was nothing more fantastic than saying our vows with sand between our toes. We took family with us, and because of the nature of the wedding, we opted for beach theme wedding favours for our small party on the day. Of course, many loved family members and friends were not able to join us on our special day so we supplied them with beach theme wedding favours and a CD wedding favour of the event. |
