Once you have decided on your theme, do a bit of shopping and snooping around for special offers and wedding packages available.

Be inspired.
If you do decide on making the favors yourself, take inspiration form exotic locations and styles. Call in the assistance of friends and family for ideas and craftsmanship.

Table settings, food and drinks.
Remember to let your beach or island theme flow thru the whole venue. If it starts and stops with your favors the guest will think you are pretty boring and plain. The table settings can include shell plates, fishnet table clothes and sun bleached tables and chairs. Wedding favors can even form part of your table settings such as personalised glasses for serving the drinks in or pearl charms added to the stems of the glasses. Seafood or fish as well as tropical drinks such as Pina Colada's are recommended for your menu. Give each table a beach or islands' name such as Hawaii, Fiji, Jamaica, Mauritius or Samoa, written on a card attached to a boat card holder.
