Share Your Favorite Hobby by Having a Golf Themed Wedding

Golf is one of the most popular sports in America. If it is your favorite and you find yourself on the links every weekend (or even more often), it is such an important part of your daily life that you should consider making it a part of your wedding, too. A golf themed wedding is uniquely yours-and something your guests are not likely to forget.

Location

The logical place for a golf themed wedding is at the country club-outside, if weather permits. The nice thing about this is that you can have your ceremony and reception in the same place if your religion does not require you to get married in church. If the country club is not an option, wineries and parks provide beautiful outdoor settings.

Golf Themed Bridal Party Gifts

Golf makes for a nearly limitless selection of great gifts for men and women alike. Some suggestions: Putters with the soles engraved to memorialize the occasion, inscribed golf balls and tees, monogrammed sport shirts, embroidered golf caps. Truly, the options are limited only by the imagination!

Bridal Party Dress

In keeping with the theme, dress the party in high-class golf togs, either modern or old-fashioned-if you use modern dress, people in the party will be able to wear the clothes again. Perhaps have ushers in crisp khakis and Lacoste shirts and the groom dressed similarly, but in black slacks.

Have the bridesmaids wear tasteful, traditional khaki a-line miniskirts and Lacoste polos and the bride, of course, in white. If the wedding will be outside, head coverings are in order-matching golf-style ball caps for the gentlemen and visors for the ladies.

Activities

As a way to keep your guests entertained, particularly while you are taking pictures, consider hiring a pro to provide a golf lesson. What better way to spend some time on a spring afternoon than learning or perfecting the game of golf? Alternatively, you may want to take the gang to mini-golf for the afternoon.

Golf Themed Wedding Décor

Do not forget to decorate your reception with the golf them for your wedding. Custom embossed golf-balls and tees are inexpensive - put baskets with them on every table as centerpieces, and after the party your guests can take them home as favors. Also, if you have an industrious Best Man, he can collect old golf shoes to tie to the bumper, as a variant on the old custom.

A golf themed wedding is an unusual way to start your new life as man and wife, but it is one that you and your guests will enjoy because it is just so you!
