Fall wedding favors and autumn wedding favors if picked correctly can really make you rise in love among your guests and would be partner! Fall being the season of absolutely vivid colors highlighting passion and all that is deep and rich, you must match it with an equally intense choice in your wedding favors.
The maple leaf is the most common design for fall wedding favors. You may feel you will have to spend a lot for specific designs but for less than $2.50 each, you can pick up scented leaf soap boxes, maple leaf coaster sets and leaf bookmarks. Copper-colored bottle stoppers are a simple choice too. If too tired with the maple theme, try the pine cones for your fall wedding favors.
Often, couples like to set up placecard holders and if you can come up with favors that can also help guide the guests to their chairs, you save the hassle of giving out favors individually. That leaves you with more time for other stuff. And, placecard holders can be bought from less than a dollar upwards. You can further embellish placecard holders with, for example, rhinestones. Placecard holders can also be used by guests later, as photo frames.
An interesting way to decide upon a fall wedding favor is to think about whether you want your guests to use it later as a showpiece or utility item. Guests will love a ‘green’ gift of seed boxes or any kind of showpieces that they can proudly display in their homes. Imagine the conversations that the showpieces will spark when you visit your guests later.
Items that can be used like lip balms, key rings, notepads and pens are other thoughtful fall wedding favors. If you feel they are too common, possibly you can come up with some unique way to personalize them whether by inscribing or special packaging.
No relationship is complete without chocolates and mints. Fetch special mint tins and chocolate boxes, wrapped creatively, and designed to suit your style, for your guests. Express your love by choosing different flavors too. As a tip, we would suggest order extra boxes because you are most likely to keep some favors for yourself too. Such is the attraction of chocolates and mints.
Then, there are the candles. Scented one, painted ones, styled ones and the gel ones. Fairy tale characters or leaf motifs, you can have candles moulded in virtually any shape you want. Candles as fall wedding favors are sure to impress guests. Never mind that these candles (and soaps) hardly get used as guests like to keep them for remembrances.
The modern school of marriage planners says, the ideal fall wedding favors are small honey jars. They say, according to tradition, you must replicate in an indirect way what Cupid used to do. In Greek mythology, Cupid was supposed to bring lovers together by shooting arrows at them. But those were arrows dipped in honey. Honey jars personalized to suit the occasion make for such romantic Fall wedding favors. You needn’t just stick to honey though. There are flavored tea and coffee assortments to choose too. In the end what matters is that you express your gratitude to your guests.
