New Jersey Wedding Favor Ideas
Wedding favors are most often matched to the theme or motif of your wedding. And, of course, one of New Jersey's most popular themes is a beach wedding! New Jersey shore wedding favor ideas include:- Small bottles of sand with your names, wedding date and special wedding message etched on the glass or hand-lettered on a charming accent tag.
- Sand dollars or conch shells (the state seashell) with the details of your marriage stenciled or hand-lettered in silver, gold or your chosen wedding color on the back.
- Beach-themed bookmarks, candle holders or cookie-cutters.
- A wedding photo of the two of you, enclosed in a small seashore-themed frame featuring shells, starfish, sandals, seahorses, etc.
- Bottled water with personalized beach-theme labels -- an outstanding practical choice for a hot summer wedding where your guests will appreciate a cool drink.
New Jersey Honey Wedding Favors
New Jersey's cherished state symbol is the humble honey bee, which might be a real boon to your wedding planning. Honey has been a part of weddings almost as long as weddings have been around! Consider a small jar filled with local golden honey as a favor idea. You can even personalize your favors with custom wedding labels. Be sure to include your names, date of your wedding and wedding motto.A small number of "honey sticks" may provide an assortment of flavors for your guests, rather than a single honey flavor. Honeys take their unique flavor from the flowers from which they're drawn, so look for flavors including clover, buckwheat, wildflower, tulip, poplar, blueberry (New Jersey's state fruit), lilac and more when making your selections.
