Michael's sometimes has their baskets 50 percent off. Check them out. Good luck!

We skipped baskets (they're too cumbersome for most guests to take with them) and we opted for paper bags with handles (2 / $1 at Micheals)

Re: Have question for those doing hotel baskets..

Since your wedding is in October, why not incorporate that fall theme into your wedding.

How about those really cute pumpkin heads they sell for about .69, or a nice halloween tin, a cornacopea. Utilize what they have on sale and put it with the all the gatherings to make it unique.
