“Teeing off” your loved ones can be great fun, so be sure to get golf wedding favors to hand out at your reception. As any sports enthusiast will note, getting married is not an excuse to ignore their favorite pastime. Whether you and your spouse enjoy golfing together, you met on the golf course, or you had your first date mini-golfing, your guests will surely get a kick out of receiving favors that have meaning to you as a couple.
Personalized Golf Wedding Favors
Not only are your golf favors reflective of your personality, but they can also be functional. While some favors may end up in the back of a drawer, your guests will think of you every time they hit the course or take a drink.
And abundance of golf related favors are available for the choosing. A cheap wedding favor may be simply having golf balls on the table as your favor. Another low cost option would be to get a favor that is priced as a group, like golf club stir sticks that come six to a package for less than $9.
Personalized wedding favors can add an individual touch to otherwise generic golfing gifts. You can personalize with your new last name (The Smiths), your first names (Jack and Jane), your wedding date, or a combination of these. Some gifts allow room to place a favorite verse or saying.
The following list contains some golf wedding favors that are sure to delight your guests:
- Wedding Tee Matchbooks—Choose from two sizes of matchbooks containing tees. The large size also has a divot fixer.
- Fit to a Tee—A his and hers ball set is a cute favor, and comes on a personalized stand with your wedding date and names imprinted.
- Personalized Golf Tees—Save money by choosing personalized golf tees that come with 250 in the package. Put them in a small tulle or mesh bag and tie with a ribbon.
- Personalized Mint Tins—Tell everyone that you and your spouse were “mint fore each other” with these cute favor tins.
- Photo Wedding Golf Balls—Get really personal by adding your engagement photo to a golf ball favor.
Golf Favors for the Foodie
For the couple who loves golfing and gourmet food, you can combine the two. Have cookies or other food favors wrapped separately and placed at each table setting for your guests to enjoy. Be sure to attach a tag that expresses your gratitude for their attendance at your wedding. A good phrase to use would be: “Thank you ‘fore’ all of your good wishes on our wedding day! Love, John and Martha.”
Food gift items that related back to the sport include:
Making your own golf wedding favors can save you money. Purchase a cookie cutter and decorate your own cookies. The homemade wedding favor will delight your guests. You can also print labels to put on candy bars, and use golf clip art. Consider purchasing tea, and adding a note like the following: “Have a tee-rific time at the dance! Love, Bob and Jane.”
Charitable Golf Favors
Depending on the social circle you are involved in, you may decide to donate money to a charitable organization in lieu of giving favors that will end up lost or discarded within days of your wedding.
If you are not aware of any charities, contact your local golf club for information on tournaments and charitable organizations that supports various groups. Speak with the group’s representative regarding an appropriate donation amount and exactly what the money will be used to purchase.
Visit the Golfspan.com to find charities and non-profit organizations you can contact to find out how to make a donation. This is a good option for charitable donations if you would prefer to go national with your money.
Place a small placard next to each dinner plate that indicates where the money went, and why you choose the charity you did. Your guests and you will feel pride in knowing you helped sponsor a tournament or charitable organization that benefits those in need.
