In this day and age, it is very acceptable to have two-in-one items during your wedding. Your primary reason will be to save on the costs of providing for one item for each category, say, beach wedding favors as decorations.

Yes, indeed, you can find many charming favors for a beach-themed wedding that can double as decorations. You just need to add some touches to make them work to your advantage.

Mini-Photo Albums with an Ocean Theme

The beauty of a mini-photo album as a wedding favor is that it can hold tangible memories of your wedding day. As such, it serves a very practical purpose as well as capping the beauty your big day.

It would be nice if you have a photo-me booth in your reception area. This way, your guests can immediately place photos of themselves in the mini-photo album. The background for the photos can also be of the ocean. Or you may just have the cover of the album printed with as seascape, seashells and sand dollars.

You can place these beach wedding favors on the tables, one for each guest, to serve as decorations. You may stack them with small seashells as toppers.

Sand Castle and Sand Pail Candles

Candles are always good ideas as wedding favors. Not only do candles come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors but you can also decorate them any way you want. And of course, you cannot deny the fact that scented candles are always appreciated by guests.

Since you have beach-themed wedding, your candle favors should evoke the seas, of which sandcastles and sand pails are the best choices. Both of these beach wedding favors can be personalized anyway you want, say, placing a small flag with your names on it atop one of the castle towers.

You may place these wedding favors on the tables of guests as centerpieces. Just let them pick one candle before going home as their wedding favors.

Personalized Flip Flops

What other personal accessory evokes the beach other than a pair of skimpy bikinis? Well, flip flops, of course! Although more and more individuals are using flip flops outside of the beach, these comfy footwear are always associated with a good time on the beach.

You will appreciate that flip flops are very affordable, very colorful and very practical. Your guests, on the other hand, will love that you have provided footwear in which to romp at the nearby beach.

Thus, you need not look far for your beach wedding favors that can function as decorations than flip flops. Just hang them in pairs on the trees, on the cottages and even as centerpieces in place of flowers. This way, you can save on the cost of the flowers and yet provide for unique decorations.

And so, when looking at the many choices in beach wedding favors, think of them as possible decorations. You will love the savings that can be had in the process, which you can use for your honeymoon instead.

Purchase song here: www.RachelAldous.com This song came straight from my heart one night as I prayed over my sleeping daughter. As I stared at her beautiful frame I was just moved to tears by what an amazing gift from God she really is. She was born with neurofibromatosis and is considered legally blind. Some would have advised while she was still in the womb that I should have had an abortion because she isn’t “perfect”. That would have been a tragedy. As this song has been passed around it has been used in many different ways- pro-life rallies, baby dedications, Mother’s Day events, weddings, and as a simple lullaby sung over a sleeping baby. My hope is that this song would inspire all mothers to pray over their babies, no matter how old, and to see the value of human life. Post your baby’s pictures to “A Mother’s Prayer” Wall along with a prayer at http make sure and use the photo tab. This song available on the album “Transform Me” at www.RachelAldous.com and online at the iTunes store, and Amazon.com Lyrics by Rachel Aldous, music by John Mandeville Produced by John Mandeville (check out his hit single “Glorify”) Video compiled by Darren Thomas 7 Films www.youtube.com Downloadable sheet music and background track available at www.RachelAldous.com.

Not everyone has the space for their own garden. While you can do a little kitchen garden and grow some herbs and perhaps some tomatoes, it’s really hard to do a serious garden if you don’t have the space. You might be fortunate enough to have an option in some areas.

Some neighborhoods have community gardens set up. These may be many individual plots that you can sign up for or a single plot that anyone in the community can help with. It’s a chance for you to garden even if you don’t otherwise have the space. The American Community Gardening Association is a great place to start learning about community gardens.

If there’s a community garden already in your area, go find out how to join. There may be fees associated, as there are costs to running a community garden, from leasing or buying the land, to the cost of insurance, to the cost of water.

If you can’t find a community garden in your area, you might be able to start one with others in your area who would like to garden. Start talking about it in your neighborhood. Look for empty lots that could serve. Start talking to sponsors to help with the costs once you have enough people to get things going.

It can be challenging to start a community garden. You may not find the support you were hoping for. There may be some people flat out opposed to the idea. The only way you’re going to find out if things can work, however, is to give it a try.

It helps to remind people that a community garden isn’t just about giving people a place to grow flowers and vegetables. It’s a way to bring the community together. It’s a way to teach children about where food comes from and give them real experiences with growing food. It’s a way to make healthier foods more accessible.

Community gardens can even help to deter crime. They get people out into the neighborhood and helps them to get to know each other. There are more eyes outside, so to speak.

The people who participate in the community garden may even be interested in getting together on other topics of concern. You have one point of interest in common. You may be able to get members of the community garden group to work on other activities as well. It’s great for making needed changes in the community.

You will find being a part of a community garden to be a fair bit of work. That’s reasonable, as any sort of gardening takes significant effort. But you may have to add into those efforts the work needed to make the garden function for everyone, deal with disputes and cope with troublemakers. But you’ll be joining in efforts to really improve your community.
