Golf Wedding - by Tim Apps

If you or your partner is a keen golfer, then golf wedding favors can easily be brought into your wedding party. This will create something memorable for your guests in giving them the small gift that has become traditional as a way to say thank you to them for sharing your special day with you.

Sport-themed weddings are becoming more and more popular. You may be holding your wedding at your golf club or country club and then a golf theme for your wedding will be right in tune with the setting. Golf wedding favors are the finishing touch that brings your theme right onto the guests' tables - and they even get to take it home!

There is a wide range of golf favors available. Some you will find at specialized wedding favors stores, others are small gifts that you might buy anywhere. You can either order online without even leaving your home or buy small golf-related gifts at the mall or in the store at your golf course. You can also order from catalogs. Some of these items could even be made at home, either by you or by a friend who enjoys baking. Here are some ideas for you:

- bottle opener with a golf ball motif

- place card holders in the shape of golf bags

- cookies in the shape of golf bags

- candy golf balls (chocolate or white chocolate golf balls make great favors if the weather is not too hot)

- golf wine glass markers

- golf wine bottle corks

- personalized golf tees or golf balls, with your names and the date

- golf key chains

- golf-themed candles

You will also want to think about presentation. You may like to present your favors in small fold-up boxes personalized with the details of your wedding, or simply wrapped in tulle with a ribbon.

Another great idea is to give a small golf-themed book as your wedding favor. This should be something that will appeal to both your golfing and non-golfing guests. A small humorous golf book or a collection of golf-related poetry would be ideal.

You could continue the golf theme with your wedding cake. Have the top colored green with a flag in the middle and the traditional couple motif surrounded by golf balls and flowers. Golf balls being white will reflect the traditional wedding color.

Whether you choose something edible, humorous, or a permanent souvenir, golf wedding favors will score a hole in one with your guests!
