Plan a golf themed wedding with these fun ideas! But first, subscribe to the blog. It’s par for the course, ya know!
When you’re planning your wedding, and as you’ve probably noticed from our blog by now, there is no wedding theme that is out of bounds. :) And since you only get one shot, you may as well ace it!
If you or your soon-to-be spouse spend the weekend golfing, practicing the swing, watching the Golf Channel, or perfecting your par, then you’ll love this post! Today we’re showing you how to plan a golf themed wedding with one-of-a-kind golf wedding invitations, golfing gifts for groomsmen and bridesmaids, fun golf wedding decorations, and so much more.
First things first: for a golf themed wedding, you need to figure out when and where it will be held.
A country club with a golf course is an obvious idea! Ride around on golf carts and have your photos taken on the green. A golf themed wedding with an actual golf course as your photo backdrop is a great idea too. Of course, you can plan a golf-inspired wedding anywhere, any time of the year, but a country club in the summer? Perfection.
Next up, you’ll need to set the date and then tell guests to save it! Let’s talk about golf save the date ideas to inspire you.

Planning a golf themed wedding may feel like a lot of work, but it is so worth it. Golf weddings are unique, fun, and a reflection of your personalities. Whether it’s your decor, favors, or stationery, sprinkle in golf elements that make your guests smile.
Pro Tip: Don’t overdo it: golf weddings work best when you subtly include the theme in decor, attire, and favors, without turning the day into a golf tournament. A little goes a long way.
