Finding Beach Theme Wedding Invitations
Examples Of Beach Theme Wedding Invitations
- Hearts in Sand— Two large starfish and many smaller ones, two polished stones— one pale pink and one medium brown— and three small white shells on sand with a heart
traced in it. Lower right corner unfolds to reveal a small triangular section with two wedding rings against a background of darker sand than in the rest of the card.
- Seashore Letterpress Wedding Invitation— plain dotted border, has piece of seaweed on top center.
- There is a company that sells invitations in the old- fashioned “message in a bottle” format. A whole kit is available, consisting of a bottle and cork, sand, shells, a palm tree, a paper umbrella, and a piece of paper that, appropriately enough, looks as though it has been weathered; you can have your personal message printed, and a choice of either raffia or ribbon for tying it. $3.49 per bottle; no additional charge for printing.
- My Beach Wedding has one of the most extensive collections of beach theme wedding invitations anywhere. Their products include invitations (cards with raised images of shells and palm trees on them); favors (in the forms of sea shell cookie cutters, starfish bottle stoppers, crystal oyster shells, sailboat candles); napkins (with the couple’s names and marriage date below pictures of shells and starfish); and accessories (wedding pillows, bridal garters and champagne flutes, all based on the starfish theme; palm tree wedding guest books; and other things).
A company called Beach Theme Wedding Ideas has some of the greatest of their kind. One of these is their “Aloha” card, with that word written in beautifully calligraphic letters across the top of a beach scene that is more than half water, and white five- petaled flowers in the lower left corner. The invitation begins with the words, “As eternal as the waves our love is meant to be.” And the owner (who had her own wedding performed on a beach) sells more than just cards here: There is a section devoted to planning a beach theme wedding, which can be a very complicated task; and others where they give ideas for reception tables and buffet foods; centerpieces (examples: bouquet of flowers surrounded by candles; fishbowl with a candle in the center surrounded by a starfish and shells); seashell and floral arches; seashell unity candles (these are candles with starfish glued to their sides, often with wedding poetry written on them); beach theme wedding cakes (in addition to the starfish and shell designs, many of these cakes have waves on them); adding chocolate seashells to a wedding cake (a good way of saving money; and not only do the shells pictured have realistic shapes and textures, but even their colors are natural); hair styles for a beach theme wedding (the owner herself says that at her wedding she wore small prepared shells in her hair); creating a sea shell water fountain centerpiece; and ideas for flower girl basket and seashell ring holders. Here may be found some of the best advice from one who really knows.
Nothing matches beautiful beach theme wedding invitations as way of getting family members and friends to come to a truly unique event in one’s live.
