I'm doing palm tree/beach personalized shot glasses (from http://www.discountmugs.com) filled with candy, wrapped in blue tulle, with a tag that says "Thank you" and has a picture of an island with a palm tree on it and our names. But there are so many cute beach themed favors online to choose from that it's hard to decide. Good luck.
Re: beach themed wedding favor
Anything that is not edible gets tossed out. Although you could also design a mix cd of beachy songs if you wanted in addition to the chocolates.
TIA!
