Summer Wedding Favors

The summer is a very popular time for weddings. In fact June is one of the most popular times of the year for couples to get married. The nice weather is one of the primary reasons that many couples opt for this time of year for their wedding. There is less of a chance that weather will affect the plans for the wedding and many couples feel confident planning outdoor weddings for this time of the year. However, other couples simply enjoy the summertime and opt to have their wedding at this time of year for that reason alone. Whatever the reason the couple opts for a summer wedding, they are likely to want to incorporate the idea of summer into the wedding favors they distribute.

Beach themed weddings are very popular in the summertime. The couple may be having the ceremony and reception on the beach or they may simply be incorporating a beach theme into an indoor wedding. In both cases, however, the couple will likely opt to give the guests some type of favor related to the beach. Magnets shaped like sandals are a very popular option for weddings this time of year or for wedding featuring a beach theme.

Another great idea for a favor for a summertime wedding is a candle designed to reflect the season. Candles in the shape of seashells or even votive candles in holders designed to look like sand pails are both great ideas. There are even candles in the shape of dolphins and whales available. These may be more expensive but depending on your budget for wedding favors might be a viable option.

Items such as artificial leis or other flowers can also be appropriate as wedding favors for a summer wedding. If you are planning to have flowers as your centerpieces on the tables you may wish to give each of your guests a single flower like the ones used in your centerpieces as a favor. This is a great idea because when you do this your favors will also serve to enhance the décor at your reception by closely matching the centerpieces. Giving a fresh flower as a favor is appropriate but you might also opt to give an artificial flower. This is because artificial flowers can be kept by your guests as a memento of your wedding while fresh flowers will likely wilt shortly after the wedding. Some of your guests may dry or press the fresh flowers to create a memento but the majority of them will simply discard the flower once it wilts.

Picture frames are also very popular as wedding favors for summertime weddings. This is because picture frames come in so many different styles that the couple is likely to find a picture frame which has a definite summer feel to it. There are picture frames which feature beach scenes, picture frames which are adorned with seashells and a wide variety of other whimsical picture frames which convey the meaning of summertime. Picture frames can not only be found in a wide variety of styles but are also very practical gifts. Many wedding guests enjoy receiving picture frames as wedding favors because they now have a place to store a photo of the new couple. Still other wedding guests enjoy receiving picture frames as wedding favors simply because they always have use for another picture frame and can use this frame to store pictures of friends or family members.

Miami Dolphins - Parcells Era officially underway?

Wow... just wow. Day 1 of the draft and 2 rounds down and so far Bill Parcells is cleaning up. As a Pats fan it is nice to see teams in my division making strides because quite frankly as much as it pains me to say it I'm tired of walking over our division opponents. I'd say out of the 3 other teams in our division the Dolphins seem like they are going to make the most impact this season when it comes to closing the gap on New England. I like the move of reuniting Jake Long and Chad Henne... now all they have to do is draft Mario Manningham and Mike Hart tomorrow lol. Anyways, what do you guys think?
originalitybygeorge: Well, for 1 the Pats went 18-1, and for 2... I do see your point but the schedules are made 2-4 years in advance so I would say it's just the luck of the draw.

I live in Miami but I'm not a Dolphin fan. I'm a native NJ dude and have seen the Parcell way for many many years. I absolutely love what the Dolphins did this year. Picking up a OT that you can pencil in for the next 10 year, getting younger on the Defense and the pick up of Henne is GREAT.

Compare this draft to Cam Cameron's draft last year - it's laughable. Ted Ginn, Jr with the 11th pick and John Beck in the 2nd round - I still cringe when I see that draft. LOL - you should of seen the media people down here try to spin the draft. After a while people were just calling the sports radio lines and saying "just stop, this was a horrible draft".

Looking at Baltimore's picks - Cameron (the Off Coordinat) is making the same mistake. Sacco with the 12th pick. That may go down as the worst pick of this years draft. You watch - this is a guy who couldn't win the job a Pitt, now he's going to the NFL. Brohm and Henne were way more polished and will be better NFL QB's - but your question isn't about Baltimore. However showing Baltimore's terrible drafting this year is proof of how bad Miami was last year.
