If you notice, many couples try to break away from the norm of traditional weddings. Some couples incorporate fun and whimsical themes to their wedding while others choose to hold the ceremony in places other than the usual venues such as the church, chapel or garden. Most couples really strive to have a unique wedding to make the event extraordinary and memorable.

If you and your partner are sports enthusiasts and you just love swinging with the game of golf, this might be the perfect theme that would make your wedding one of a kind. One great thing about this theme is that you will not have a difficult time planning the wedding. This is because with so many nice options and great ideas that surround the golf-wedding theme, hitting a hole in one with this kind of wedding event would be a cinch.

Invite, invite!

The invitation is the preview of your wedding. It informs the guests on the theme of the wedding and gives them idea on what to expect during the event. This is why, it is a must that you have a wedding invitation that would let guests know that you are having a golf wedding. For example, you can have invitations shaped like a golf club or an invitation with a nice photo of a golf course. Lastly, you can incorporate golf lingo into the text of the invitation.

Decorate with a golf twist

A golf wedding is held usually in a local country club or a golf course so decorating would not be too much of a difficult task. However, if you want to add more golf flair to the event, you can decorate the venue with golf paraphernalia such as golf balls (with name and date engraved on them), tees, ball markets, clubs, golf bags, score cards, putters, and so on.

Choose the par-fect wedding cake

For the cake, you can have a tower of golf ball cupcakes in place of the traditional tiered wedding cake. Or you can have the traditional cake but top it with a golf wedding cake topper such as a mini version of you and your partner holding golf clubs.

Add a “swing” to the event

Instead of kissing at the end of the ceremony, you and your partner can seal the vow by taking a swing and attempting to hit a hole in one. You can do this at the same time with both of you hitting with your own club or you can do this together with the groom behind the bride as you hold the same club.

For the couple’s exit from the ceremonial site or entrance during the reception, the groom’s men can wield an “arch of clubs.” During the reception, you can have the guests round up for a game or two while mingling and drinking cocktails. For the fun part, inform the guests that in place of clinking glasses when they want you to kiss, they should sink a putt instead.

Give away terrific par-tee favors

When it comes to golf wedding favors, you have endless choices. Some terrific ideas include golf tee key chain, chocolate golf balls, golf club drink stirrers, golf ball tea light candles, golf ball bottle stopper, golf bottle opener, tee matchbook, miniature golf bag, toy golf cart, golf ball shaped photo frame and so many more.

A golf wedding can be a memorable way to celebrate your eternal promise of love. This unique and fun kind of wedding is something that even guests who are not fans of golf will be able to enjoy and appreciate.

With online resources, it is easy to find gifts that are a product of true creativity. Review online retailers and forums to check out the latest ideas for creative wedding items.
