Beach parties are probably one of the easier parties to plan for, since there is always something available in stores during the summer. When planning your beach party, you should also consider what type of beach party favor you want to give to your guests.
While most guests will play with the decorations and before too long, end up wearing them, you can plan for your decorations to be beach party favors as well. Purchasing sunglasses, grass skirts, pink flamingos as well as other beach them items can make the party feel like the beach and can serve as beach party favors as well. If you plan this way, you can save money by using the items for a dual purpose. That way, you can buy more decorations with the intent on guests taking them home as favors.
Or you can plan for beach party favors. Straw hats always make a nice giveaway, and can be used by guests at a later date. Cute little plastic coconut glasses can be used not only at the party, but then handed out to the guests as favors. Artificial flower centerpieces are another great item which can be given away as beach party favors, but serve to decorate the party as well.
You can also plan to hand out gift bags at the end of the night, with various beach themed items. You can include a small tube of sunscreen, a personal fan or a beach towel. It just depends on the budget you have for favors.
People love crazy gag gifts, so finding that crazy item that will make everyone laugh is a must. Hawaiian luau girls for the dashboard or surfer inspired gifts will always garner a laugh, as will novelty shell items. Whatever you choose, make sure that guests will find it entertaining and memorable, because you don’t want them to readily forget the fun in the sun they had at your beach party!
