Wedding favors are a bride and groom's way to say "thank you" to their guests for coming and celebrating with them.
Your favors are not only a way to say thank you, but they are also a way for to showcase your wedding theme.
Though these little gifts for guests can be costly, especially when you have a large guest list, there are ways to create fall wedding favors that will not break the bank.
Soaps and Candles Soaps and candles are something your guests can use when they get home and are less likely to collect dust.
Give away fall scented candles such as warm pear, apple, pumpkin or vanilla.
Purchase candle favors that are shaped like fall objects such as fall leaf candles.
You can also give away votive candle holders with one or two votives in a favor box to keep the costs down.
Soaps can also be purchased in custom shapes that look like fall objects such as leaves, acorns or pumpkins.
Find soaps that have a fall scent such as vibrant herbs, pumpkin or cream flavors.
Pair soaps in autumn color favor bags with bubble baths, bath salts or you can even pair soaps and candles together for a mini spa treatment box.
Food and Candy Food and candy are one of the best fall favors because your guests will most likely eat them on their way home.
Give away autumn treats such as toasted pumpkin seeds, candied almonds or even an assortment of truffles.
If you are on a tight budget, present your guests with fall inspired teas or flavored coffees in small individual packets.
Wedding cookies are always a good gift as well because they are edible, creative and often inexpensive.
You can buy or make wedding cookies in shapes like maple leaves and acorns, place one in a bag for each guest, and fill the rest of the bag with Jordan almonds or inexpensive filler candies.
Favors They Will Use Often when guests leave a wedding they will toss the favor in the back of the car and forget about it.
This not only costs the couple money, but is a complete waste.
Rather than give away favors your guests will not use, try practical favors that they will enjoy.
Bookmarks are a great wedding favor that can be used every day.
Purchase leaf or tree bookmarks as gifts for each guest and pair them with a $5 gift card to a local book store.
Key chains are also an item that can be used by your guests or given to someone else in the family who will use it.
Purchase leaf, acorn or other fall inspired key chains to place in trinket boxes for your guests.
If you have a little extra money in the wedding budget for favors, give guests small plants and potted herbs that they can take home and grow.
Try giving away autumn flower seeds such as sunflowers or daisies.
If you are going to give away herbs and vegetables, try giving away spices such as cinnamon, cardamom or pumpkin seeds.
All of these eco friendly fall wedding favor ideas are ones that your guests can appreciate for days and years to come as they remember your wedding day with love.
