Any ideas on an Autumn themed favor?

Hello ladies. I'm trying to get an idea of what to do for favors for my October wedding. I have plenty of time, but I'd like to get the bulk of my wedding planning done, so I am not trying to get things done all in one shot. I am looking for something cute, yet formal for my favors. I am getting married next October so kinda want to see what I can come up with with an Autumn feel? Also, any ideas of how I can set up my place cards?? I'm lost in this department Thank you for your help!

Lauren

Go check out Jo-Anns, they have all their fall stuff out on display now. I think I saw some really nice lanterns.

Re: Any ideas on an Autumn themed favor?

I am using those baby pumkins as my placecards holders. Actually my friend is mocking up a sample and is suppose to bring it tonight to happy hour. So maybe I can get a picture and post it over the weekend. I have seen pears and apples also done (not in person only online...Martha Stewart had them too).

I am going to scatter fall colored leaves on the place cards table and maybe even on the dinner tables (gonna talk to my florist about that next weekend). I bought the leaves cheaply at Genovesse in August some time.

For my favors, I am doing wine. Just because I like edible/drinkable favors. I have seen some nice maple syrup bottles, leave shaped cookies and chocolates all online.

Re: Any ideas on an Autumn themed favor?

Check out those craft stores and places like Genovesse. They tend to inspire some inspiration.

Also, awhile ago a few of the 2002 fall brides were sharing great websites. I have some bookmarked at home.

I also recall a posting a little while back about fall placecards. I know pics were posted w/ a leaf attached to the placecards. Check into that too.

Re: Any ideas on an Autumn themed favor?

Attaching a pic my favors to give you a feel of my fall themed wedding as well...I also named my tables different leaf names and had a pic of the leaf on there and used that same leaf for place cards, I will scan in that pic and post for you as well. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Good Luck!

Maple Syrup in little glass leaf jars are perfect autumn favors.
