How to Choose Fall Wedding Favors

Having a fall wedding is a great time of year that allows you to get creative with your theme, including your wedding favors.

Wedding favors are a great parting gift for your guests and are a great way to say "Thank You" for coming to your special day.

Some wedding favors are perishable, such as cookies, candies, chocolates, while other become more like keepsakes.

Choose a fall wedding favor that reflects the personality of you and your partner.

Also, knowing your fall wedding theme is another way to brainstorm for wedding favors that fit in with your overall wedding atmosphere.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. If you are looking for perishable wedding favors that guests can enjoy on the way back home or even as a little snack after dinner and cake, then consider what type of menu you are having for your wedding.
   
   If you have an ethnic dinner menu, then are there little candies or specialty desserts that you can include as your wedding favors?
   
   Or are you having a BBQ for your wedding dinner? What about having little bottles of personalized BBQ sauces that people can use while they eat and take them home as well?
   
   People love food and everything that goes with food, so if you are looking for something savory then look at your dinner menu to see if you can spin off ideas from there.

2. Do you and your partner feel that a special fall wedding keepsake would be best for your guests?
   
   Then look for items that match your fall wedding theme. If you are having a small and intimate wedding, then perhaps engraved wine glasses would be a fine parting gift to your guests. They can use it and remember the special day that they shared with you.
   
   Or perhaps a customized bookmark that showcases your wedding date, everyone could always use an extra bookmark.

3. If you aren't finding wedding favor ideas that jive with your dinner menu or your fall wedding theme, then consider location.
   
   If you are having a wedding at a winery, then a beautiful engraved wine opener may be fitting and useful for your guests.
   
   If you are having a beach wedding, then how about personalized bottles of suntan lotion or blow up beach balls?
   
   If you are having your wedding on a farm, then how about a packet of seeds or a little plant for your guests?
