Fall Wedding Favors

Fall is a wonderful time for a wedding and gives plenty of inspiration when it comes to the various decorative elements of your wedding. Fall wedding favors provide you with the opportunity to give your guests nice simple gifts with a homely touch.

Here are a few ideas to consider when choosing your favors for your wedding:

  • Scented candles with decorative holders make lovely gifts at any time of year, but your guests are perhaps more likely to use them in the fall when the evenings draw in earlier and choosing a scent that corresponds with the season such as bayberry, cedar or cinnamon apples. Instead of choosing the normal glass or silver metal colored holders, choose ones in copper or bronze colors or wooden holders.
  • Bottles of cider punch or elderberry wine have flavors which are evocative of the season. Favor stores stock bottles which come with the option of personalized labels, which is a nice touch for your wedding.
  • Give a goody bag of cookies as favors with flavors such as cinnamon, honey, chocolate and raisin. You can bake these cookies yourself at home much cheaper than you can buy them and they add that unique touch that is so important for weddings.
  • Corn dollies date back centuries and are an ancient craft, but they can make lovely wedding favors. You may need a good deal of practice if you want to make them yourself although the effort will be worth it!
  • Give your guests seedlings of seasonal plants such as pansies or violas which they can bring on themselves at home and plant out in their gardens.
  • Recipes are nice favors and are very inexpensive too! Try recipes for dishes such as pumpkin soups, pies or breads, stews, casseroles and cakes. You can print them out on your home computer and present them rolled up like scrolls.
