Fall Wedding Favors

If you are looking for fall wedding favors, you are in for a treat. Fall is a wonderful time for a wedding, with the romantic associations of "falling in love", and the changing colors and deep blue skies that you can often get in the fall. There is a huge choice of wedding favors that combine fall colors and leaf designs with the "fall in love" idea. It is easy to find fall-themed gifts and personalize them or wrap them for your wedding.

Fall gives you the opportunity to have a very colorful wedding. Instead of being limited to white and pink like many spring couples, you can go to town with bright oranges, reds, and warm greens and browns.

Here are some great ideas for favors for a fall wedding:

- maple leaf wooden place card holders

- leaf book pagemarker

- photo coasters with a leaf design, you can insert a picture of the happy couple

- small photo albums with a fall colors design, that guests can use for the wedding photos that they take

- fall leaf themed candles

- leaf shaped soaps in fall colors

- cookies, candies or chocolates in the shape of maple leaves

In fact, any kind of wedding favor that you can dream up can be dressed in fall colors to create your themed autumn wedding favors, and most of these can be personalized too.

If your wedding is any time in October, you can go for Halloween wedding favors. You can use the traditional treat bags filled with candy and personalized with a card and a ribbon ... or if you want to have a little more fun, why not mix in a few "trick" bags too, containing nothing but a few stones and dried leaves. Just be sure no little kids will get them or there will be tears!

If you want to bake your own Halloween favors, you could go for cookies in the shape of ghosts, tombstones, pumpkins, witches or gargoyles, or make all of these and mix them up.

How about using pumpkins instead of treat bags or boxes? You could put a personalized candle inside, and finish with a black ribbon and plastic spider. Or use a cauldron as the container for your favors.

The fall season offers some wonderful opportunities for making your wedding a little different and memorable. Make the most of it by offering your guests the best colorful fall wedding favors.

Golf Wedding Favors

If you or your partner is a keen golfer, then golf wedding favors can easily be brought into your wedding party. This will create something memorable for your guests in giving them the small gift that has become traditional as a way to say thank you to them for sharing your special day with you.

Sport-themed weddings are becoming more and more popular. You may be holding your wedding at your golf club or country club and then a golf theme for your wedding will be right in tune with the setting. Golf wedding favors are the finishing touch that brings your theme right onto the guests' tables - and they even get to take it home!

There is a wide range of golf favors available. Some you will find at specialized wedding favors stores, others are small gifts that you might buy anywhere. You can either order online without even leaving your home or buy small golf-related gifts at the mall or in the store at your golf course. You can also order from catalogs. Some of these items could even be made at home, either by you or by a friend who enjoys baking. Here are some ideas for you:

- bottle opener with a golf ball motif

- place card holders in the shape of golf bags

- cookies in the shape of golf bags

- candy golf balls (chocolate or white chocolate golf balls make great favors if the weather is not too hot)

- golf wine glass markers

- golf wine bottle corks

- personalized golf tees or golf balls, with your names and the date

- golf key chains

- golf-themed candles

You will also want to think about presentation. You may like to present your favors in small fold-up boxes personalized with the details of your wedding, or simply wrapped in tulle with a ribbon.

Another great idea is to give a small golf-themed book as your wedding favor. This should be something that will appeal to both your golfing and non-golfing guests. A small humorous golf book or a collection of golf-related poetry would be ideal.

You could continue the golf theme with your wedding cake. Have the top colored green with a flag in the middle and the traditional couple motif surrounded by golf balls and flowers. Golf balls being white will reflect the traditional wedding color.

Whether you choose something edible, humorous, or a permanent souvenir, golf wedding favors will score a hole in one with your guests!
 

Inexpensive Wedding Favors

Looking for inexpensive wedding favors ideas? You are not alone. A wedding can cost so much these days, and while you want everything to be nice and give your guests a small gift to say that you are glad they came, you will surely want to keep some money for the honeymoon too!

The good news is that you can save a lot on your wedding favors by returning to the traditional wedding favor idea: candy. This way you can have something delicious without having to spend a lot of money.

Of course you would not just buy a Hershey bar and leave it on people's plates! You will want to put a little time in to making unique wedding favors that are personalized, so that all of your guests will want to keep them for a souvenir after they ate the candy.

The best way to do this is by being creative with the container for your wedding favors. It is cheaper not to buy candy that comes pre-packed in little boxes for weddings, but just order some small boxes that you can find online and then put whatever kind of candy you want inside. You may want to use a cupcake liner too. A lot of people choose chocolates but this is not necessarily a good idea if the weather is hot. Sugared almonds are one traditional favorite. You can get them in several different colors. Or M&Ms, or mints. How about fudge? Or just go for your own personal favorite nuts or candies!

If you do not want to use candy, then if you are interested in plants, how about a packet of seeds? You could choose something that would grow pretty flowers in your wedding colors and remind guests of you.

You may want to have the boxes pre-printed with your names and a photo of you as a couple. Alternatively, you can create a wrapper for the box from paper or fabric that is personalized. Depending how much time you have, you could even embroider on it with your names, the date and a small design. This would be a very low cost way to create memorable favors. If you are short of time yourself perhaps you have a talented friend or family member who would love to do this for you.

Another possibility is to use glass containers for your wedding favors. You can buy regular small glasses and have them engraved. This may cost a little more for the engraving, but it would create something that the guests would certainly keep forever. You can fill with candy, popcorn or nuts and raisins, and cover in tulle tied with a ribbon.

Candles are a popular wedding favor idea and you can even make your own. Buy beeswax and wicks at a craft store, and gather some shells - you can do this on vacation, or if you live near the beach. Or of course you could buy the shells too. Get instructions from the craft store on how to melt the beeswax and add the wick. Tie a ribbon around the finished candles.

This should give you some ideas for inexpensive wedding favors that you can use or that will inspire you to come up with your own.
