Gather the ingredients for your autumn wedding favors. You'll need a party favor bag in one of the colors of your wedding - one for each recipient, ribbon to tie the bags shut in another color of your wedding, about 12 inches for each bag, leaf-shaped cookie cutters - these often come in shapes of oak leaves or maple leaves (make sure they're small enough to get at least three inside each bag), and sugar cookie mix - the kind especially made for using cookie cutters. Once you know how many bags and the size of the cookies, you can look on the back of the cookie mix to see how many it will make, then purchase the amount you'll need. But plan for a little extra. Shaped cookies can sometimes break when you're trying to lift them off the pan.

Bake your autumn wedding favors. Most sugar cookies call for making the dough ahead of time and refrigerating before shaping. Then you'll roll it out, cut the shapes, and bake them. So plan for this timing to make sure your edible autumn wedding favors are fresh but completed on time.

Fill the bags and tie shut. Put three to six "leaves" into each bag, filling them about half way which allows room to tie them with ribbon. Then tie shut with ribbon to complete your homemade autumn wedding favors.
