What’s not to love about an elegant Fall wedding? Beautifully changing leaves and pleasantly cool temperatures bring an earthy element to the celebration that can’t be replicated at any other time of the year.
It’s no surprise that August, September, and October are the most popular months to plan a wedding in the United States. Exploring fall-themed wedding favors may be one of the most fun activities a bride and groom do during their planning phase. So if you’re planning a Fall wedding and have yet to select your favors, consider these classic seasonal options.
1. Fragrant Soaps
While it’s common for party favors to go unused, fresh soaps are a practical and useful gift that any kind of guest can appreciate. Choose fragrances, colors, and packaging that accompany the season to fully deliver on this wedding favor.
2. Wood Carvings
These leafy favors are simplistic, elegant and the perfect leafy gift for Fall. If you’re searching for personalized wedding favors, these tiny wood-carvings are etched with custom names and dates to give your guests a sense of personal appreciation. They’re also a memorable and decorative keepsake your guests can take home with them.
3. Maple Syrup
While it may seem out of the ordinary to give syrup as a wedding favor, what better gift than a sweet Fall treat your guests can easily enjoy at home? This pure Vermont maple syrup comes in a cute leaf bottle with a personalized tag. They’re visually stimulating and can serve double as eye-catching table decor.
4. Mason Jars
Mason jars are a smart choice for fall-themed wedding favors because you can use them in a variety of ways. Fill them with recipe ingredients for Fall favorites like hot chocolate, or fill them with mints or other small treats. You can also paint mason jars with Fall colors and fill them with flowers for each table of guests. These are a beautiful choice for wedding and bridal shower favors alike.
5. Tree Souvenirs
These versatile little favors aren’t just trinkets, but can be used as Christmas tree ornaments, bookmarks, or simple wall hangings. Different guests can use their favors in whatever unique way they’d like. The classic silver, gold, and pearl colors can mesh well with a variety of wedding color schemes.
6. Glass Vials
The most common complaint you’ll hear about Fall is that it doesn’t last long enough before the frigid Winter temperatures set in. These adorable glass vials capture elements of Fall for your guests to enjoy year-round. Pine cones are an effective choice if you’re going for a more natural vibe.
7. Kindling Candles
Here’s yet another favor that takes an earthy and simplistic approach. Perfect for the fireplace, these little kindling bundles will give your guests a sense of warmth to last throughout the cold seasons. They also serve to jazz up a boring candle display, and if you’re feeling crafty, you can even make these yourself for a minimal cost.
8. Caramel Apples
Depending on the date of your wedding, caramel apples can be a timely and delicious surprise for your guests. At first thought, they may seem too Halloween-ish to be suitable, but the right design changes everything. They can be decorated with Fall colors or even bride-and-groom-themed. It’s doubtful your guests have ever had such fancy and indulgent caramel apples in their lifetime.
9. Smores Kits
Fall is never complete without a bonfire outing. Even if your wedding won’t feature this, a wedding smores kit is the ideal gift to ensure your guests have everything they need to create their own. You can make this favor yourself or purchase premade sets including gram crackers, marshmallows, chocolate, and matches.
Hopefully, these will spark your imagination as to what kind of creative Fall favors exist. But don’t be afraid to make your own – there are a variety of how-tos to help you save money and customize your Fall-themed wedding favors.
