In as much as they would like to, not every couple can afford to book themselves and their guests for a tropical wedding reception or a tropical honeymoon getaway. The best they can do is be innovative and come up with practical ideas to give a touch of tropical inspiration to their wedding giveaways. Think of the tropics in terms of color, scent, and texture. Picture coconut trees, bamboo, palm fronds, and big colorful flowers like orchids and azaleas. Package these thoughts on a smaller-scale, and create your own version of tropical gift ideas like the following: - Roll colorful towels and place them in wicker baskets. This suggests a swim in the beach or lying on the sand. The colors aqua, green, red, yellow, and orange would be wonderful to work with. So would fuchsia pink and purple. - Accentuate this theme throughout all your giveaways through a gradation in colors and sizes. You could either use different shades of one color for the males and another for the females. - You could also prepare bigger baskets with bigger towels for your primary sponsors, medium-sized ones for your secondary sponsors, and cute-sized ones for the younger members of your entourage. - Paint or dye some cloth materials to look like a sarong. Seek expert advice from contacts and acquaintances. If you could afford to, buy or order inexpensive sarongs of a wide assortment from retailers online. - Create colorful, beaded bracelets for your guests if you are handy at crafts. Accentuate with charms if you wish. This would remind people of summertime shopping and souvenir hunting. - Put cute little soaps, foot scrubs, shampoo bottles, and sponges in a little metal or wooden pail. This makes people want to let down their hair, pamper themselves, and soak in a little relaxation. - Put small, colorful candles in transparent shot glasses or reverse this by putting white candles in colored glasses for a romantic, candle-lit theme. Choose candles which are scented with your favorite tropical fruit. This would help create an intimate, romantic air. Better yet, buy or order online export-quality candle holders made of capiz shells. - Prepare small mesh bags of assorted tropical tea flavors or pouches of delicious fruit candy. A tropical paradise wouldn't be complete without an abundance of luscious fruits in an array of fresh, juicy colors. - Order mini-cupcakes with designs of your favorite sea creatures, shells, or fish. If you have more funds, arrange a few of them in a box. Make people wish they were fishing or shell-hunting by the shore. - Tie a matching pair of flip-flops with a colorful ribbon. This is a way of telling people to relax and put up their feet. Take it a step further and tie mismatched flip-flops together. Encourage recipients to find the missing pair among themselves. This invites friendships and possible romances to blossom from your own wedding. Your dream of a tropically-inspired wedding can happen anywhere, just by simple and personal touches. Even if you can't have your tropical getaway, at least you'll have your tropical giveaways. Simon Johnnson is the director of content for http://www.executivegiftshoppe.com/groomsmen-gifts.html.
