If you’re having a wedding this Fall, it’s time to be thinking about favors! There are always tons of options for wedding favors; it can be overwhelming to decide what to give your guests. Thank yous are important, and you want your loved ones to remember your wedding day for a long time, so what can you give them to make sure that happens?
Food
Maybe one of the best things about Fall is the food. Pumpkin pie or bread, candy corn, s'mores, squash, pecan brittle, and everything apples – raw, roasted, pie, candied, caramel, cider – this list could go on forever. There are so many rich, savory foods this time of year, and many people will want to incorporate them into their wedding somehow. Fortunately, food favors are usually a big hit, especially if they're homemade!
The food itself might not last very long as a favor, but the personalized container you give it in could! Check out these awesome gift boxes.
Drinks
Because the temperatures are dropping, it's probably a good idea to provide something warm for your guests to drink. Apple cider is a must for fall weddings, along with hot chocolate and maybe even a pumpkin beer. If you home-brew, this is an excellent time to show off your homemade cider! But what good is a drink without a cup or a beer without a bottle opener?
And don't forget the bottle stoppers!

Candles
Speaking of keeping warm – most of us enjoy a good bonfire on a fall evening, or a cozy fire in a fireplace indoors in the winter. Not everyone can have a fire, though, so they rely on candles for that warm glow. These candle tins can be personalized with your names, wedding date, colors, and more. Don't forget to include a box of matches, too!
Placecard Holders
One way to stick to your budget is to use things that have a dual purpose -- but they don't have to look like they're budget friendly! These picture frames, bells, and pumpkins are super cute ways to help guests find their seats and serve as a useful favor.
Gift Bags
You can’t forget something for your guests to carry their favors in! If you need ideas for how to personalize your favor bags or boxes, look here.
