What are some good party favor ideas for a summer wedding?

I have looked for ideas and I keep finding the same things; I don't want anything my guests can eat--candy etc. No beer huggies, or personalized water bottles...something original. Any ideas?

Anything beach-themed, even pretty seashells.

What do you have in mind? What types of things say 'summer' to you?

My personal opinion is to donate to a charity or organization in your guests names. Example...St Judes Children's Research Hospital in Tennessee. You know, the one Marlo Thomas promotes? Well, if you go to their website, they actually have favors to give out explaining the donation. You can order as many as you need, there is no minimum donation, and St Judes accepts all children for treatment, regardless of their parent's ability to pay. I, thank God, have never had to take a sick child there, but would help and encourage anyone who needed treatment to make the trip. $.85 of every dollar goes to patient treatment and research. Other than something like that, I find favors to be ridiculous. I don't want anything with the couple's names and wedding date on it to keep forever. I would rather that $$$ go to something worthwhile. It's very simple, it's great karma, and I'm sure many organizations have something similar, but St Judes is my favorite. Good Luck and have a beautiful day, whatever you decide!

It depends on the budget per favor. If it's a garden wedding, parasols go down a treat and if you get the bamboo ones they are not that expensive either, about $5 each if you buy in bulk. or you could do sandalwood fans, they come in pretty presentation boxes that you could tie a ribbon around to match your colors. another popular one is little bottles of personalized bubbles.

I made my candy! You can order personalized mint trays on wiltons website and then fill them with either mint or chocolate flavored candy melts...OR... if you have a little bit of money to spend consider personalized mandms with your pictures on em!
