Our favorite fall wedding favors for expressing love and gratitude:

 

Personalized maple syrup and cider bottles 

Fall wedding favor ideas DIY and personalized go a long way, and what can be better than season-inspired favors to give your guests a sweet and authentic taste of the season? Buy mini bottles of maple syrup or bottles of sparkling cider in bulk from wedding favor wholesale sections, or let your non-alcoholic guests choose between hard cider and peach-flavored beer. Homebrewed cider and maple syrup jars are sure to be a hit at your wedding. Tap into a harvest theme with mini maple syrup favors and wrap them up in small Negronis bottles, along with calligraphed leather seating tags and bundles of fresh fall-colored wedding flowers.

 

Pumpkin wedding favors 

Fun wedding favors which can also sit nicely with your Halloween-themed wedding details in the fall months featuring a slightly spooky Jack-o'-lantern style, pumpkin wedding favors are loved for being picture-worthy and effortlessly autumnal. Mini pumpkin candle favors can also double as your centerpiece ideas for reception tablescapes, and they'll steal your guests' hearts just like they stole yours. You can also give away pumpkin spice-scented handmade soap bars as autumn wedding favor ideas with customized labels or pumpkin-shaped cork or even coasters with animated pumpkins for a frame-worthy fall soirée. If you don’t want to overload pumpkin spice as your primary fragrance or flavor, then opt for other fall-themed scents like Farmhouse Cider, Orange Clove, and Pumpkin Souffle.

 

Candle wedding favors

You can never go wrong with candle wedding favors as they are fragrant, beautiful, and practical. Moreover, candles and fall weddings go hand in hand. For all the lovers of cozy and warm wedding details, hand out DIY candle wedding favors as a modern twist for your fall celebrations. Adorn pine cone scented soy candles with beautifully crafted holiday tags and personalized messages, or pair spicy and warm scented candles with personalized matchbooks for a little extra flair so that your guests go home feeling cozy and loved. You can also paint the candles and celebrate your choice of fall-inspired vibrant wedding color palette, or “scentscape” your wedding with your favorite autumn fragrance.

 

Bottle opener wedding favors

One of the most incorporated unique fall wedding favors- gifting season-themed bottle openers are a chic way to make your wedding day an unforgettable affair. You can’t go wrong with rustic fall wedding favors and details that feature motifs like an antler-shaped bottle opener or a super-chic maple leaf design. They can work as great thank-you gifts for your bridesmaids. You can add woodsy accents and motifs to make them extra appropriate for the season. If you are looking for a more chic and sophisticated way of giving bottle openers, then slip a rustic key bottle opener onto a mini bottle of your favorite liquor- whether it’s whiskey or merlot for an exclusive rustic, vintage, and seasonal flair.

 

Mason jar wedding favors 

Farm-inspired goodies are amazing options for inexpensive fall wedding favors. Whether it's all about sipping a cup of coffee to start the morning or winding down the evening with a mug of hot apple cider, mason jar mug wedding favors can truly be a chic way to remind everyone about the sumptuous fall season drinks. You can even serve signature cocktail drinks in these mason jars on your fall wedding and double them up as wedding favors so that the guests can take the glassware home with them at the end of the evening and continue refilling them in memory of your wedding. You can also have other jar wedding favors, like mini jars filled with flavorful pickles bundled with fresh fall-colored flowers. Wooden baskets filled with blood-orange-and-rosemary marmalades and blackberry jams can celebrate the flavors of the fall season. Homemade wedding favors like apple jam, local cider caramels, and spiced hot cocoa mix packed in mini jar bottles can be a sweet fall favor to DIY at home.

 

Caramel apple favors

One of the most decadent fall food wedding favors- caramel apples, is love! Keeping you in sync with the autumnal-themed wedding details, caramel, and chocolate-dipped apples can be set out in large copper kettles or as an alternative to traditional wedding desserts for your departing guests. If you are on a serious budget and want fall-inspired wedding favors for guests, opt for caramel apple favor tags and loop them into candy apples or source fresh apples from the nearby farmers’ market or local orchard for a festive cheer. 

 

Fall themed flower seeds

Probably one of our most favorite wedding flowers for fall brides - sunflowers and pine trees are striking reminders of this season. The harvest season can be celebrated by giving away beautiful packets containing seasonal sunflower or wildflower seeds, to bring cheer to your guests’ yards. However, this works only for countryside residents where people have actual yards, and for all the city dwellers, opting for roasted edible pumpkin and sunflower seeds can be great. We love the idea of giving away candy wedding favors - delicious chocolate-covered Oreos in the shape of a sunflower, or mints in sunflower-shaped bottles. If you are fond of practical fall wedding favors DIY, pack bundles of fresh fall-colored flowers or pine cone soaps as favors for a look that's traditional and quirky all at once. 

 

Throws and blankets

Gorgeously handwoven welcome scarves and blankets will make any outdoor wedding warmer and cozier! As the temperature starts to drop during the fall season your guests might start looking for ways to stay warm. Handing them bundles of plaid blankets and hand-woven throws can enable them to brave the cold and enjoy the celebration. Since autumn is the cuddling season, help your wedding attendees to cozy up by giving them soft throw blankets and go the extra mile to see them warm and happy. Soft and gorgeous blankets not only make gorgeous wedding giveaways but are the kind of favors that your guests will make the most use of for years to come.

 

Pinecone favors

Apart from being elegant wedding favors, candles shaped like pinecones and adorable pinecone firestarter wedding favors can feel as if you are giving your guests a cozy night by the roaring fireplace. You can wrap up the ornaments with chevron paper, twine, and a piece of pine for this wedding. Gather some pine cones and wax, and create your own DIY wedding favor by packing these ensembles with personalized tags and satin ribbons. Your guests can light the wicks and relax by the warm and cozy fire on a chilly night of fall and remember your wedding day fondly days or even years later. 

 

Mulling spices

If you are looking for a wedding giveaway for your fall wedding that is appropriate for all ages, then look no further than the option of giving away sachets of mulling spices. Giving mulling spices like cinnamon, allspice, orange, and cloves will enable the young wedding guests to make apple cider and the adult wedding guests can whip up a cup of mulled wine. Give away these mulled spices in cute and tiny bags with personalized details and straightforward instructions that anyone can follow, and tie them up with aromatic cinnamon sticks for a flavorsome fall spin.

 

Hot chocolate favors

One of the most timeless fall-themed wedding favors, hot chocolate wedding favors add to the cozy and warm elegance of a wedding in the crisp season. From hot cocoa favors spruced up with light sprinkles of cinnamon and spices and tied with handwritten thank-you notes to giving away hot chocolate spoons featuring chocolate-coated layers with autumn floral sprinkles so that your guests can relish a hot mug of cocoa in their blankies after going home, the sky’s limit when it comes to the best and useful wedding favors for fall weddings. Hot chocolate-on-sticks are super cute and unique DIY fall wedding favors, which can keep your guests’ fingers nice and cozy cupped around a warm mug of delicious chocolate.

 

Mini lanterns 

Miniature lanterns can give all the fuzzy and warm feelings of a cozy fall wedding evening around the campfire. The perfect wedding favor option for small weddings in the fall season, the chic mini lanterns will also look stunning at your wedding reception décor and in your guests’ homes. You can customize and match these mini lanterns according to your wedding theme colors and give them away with other adorable goodies like tea light candles, flowers, and personalized gift boxes.

 

Knitted woolen favors

To give away a dash of warmth and snuggly vibes on your fall wedding (especially in the colder regions), opt for knitted wedding favors like hand and leg warmers, scarves, or even shawls. One of the best wedding favors that are crafty and unique for fall weddings will set the right tone for your celebration. You can also ask one of your crafty and artistic family members or friends to create hand-knit or crocheted coasters and cushion covers to add to the aesthetic of your guests’ houses. Simple and wintry knitted hand warmers made out of flannel and cotton are easy picks for easy homemade fall wedding favors that will add warmth to your celebration.

 

Your friends and family have traveled from all over the country to join you to celebrate one of the biggest days of your lifetime. The overwhelming feelings of appreciation and love that you have for them might be impossible for you to put into mere words. Your feelings of gratitude and appreciation for your wedding guests can be channelized with creative wedding favor ideas. However, there are certain factors to consider while selecting unique wedding favor ideas for your big day celebration. Firstly, you should always keep in mind the kind of wedding venue you have chosen for yourself. For instance, you wouldn't want candies for an outdoor summer wedding venue, as they will melt due to the direct heat. Secondly, you would want to keep in mind the location of the wedding, especially in the case of destination weddings. Edible wedding favors with limited shelf lives or wedding thank you gifts made out of glass might not sit well with guests who are traveling from all the corners of the country to attend the wedding.

Hence, the above-mentioned list of creative fall wedding favors can be a great fit for weddings in the autumn season, irrespective of your wedding style, theme, and location. After all, it's all about getting creative with your DIY skills or knowing what to pick from a sea of wedding favor ideas. These autumn wedding favors will remind your guests of the comforting sensation of crackling bonfires, colorful leaves, and warm cider and help them to recall the fun memories made at your wedding.
