Re: Fall brides...what are you doing for favors?
We are giving out fall leaf cookie cutters with a card that says 'we've fallen for each other' and our names and dates. I am going to hang them all from a faux fall tree at the reception. They are costing me around .65 cents each.

i was a fall bride, but we didnt do anything 'fall themed' we did mini stainless steel cocktail shakers (everyone really liked them) with martini flavored jelly beans inside.. BUT that being said, i kinda wished i woulda done something alil more seasonal..i REALLY love the maple leaf containers with the syrup in them!!

Re: Fall brides...what are you doing for favors?
hey - i am doing a donation too and my dad said teh same thing - we are doing a donation to teh heart association in memory of my grandpa and sean's cousin i made up a lil poem and we are attaching it to heart-shaped ornaments
do you know where you are making the donation to yet? maybe you can incorporate it some way into a small favor?
you could give a small box of chocolates, or m&m/hershey kisses wrapped in fall colors to match your theme
sorry i ended up making this a long post

Re: Fall brides...what are you doing for favors?
I actually wanted to do a donation too (his mother passed away from cancer), but my FH felt that we should donate separately & give a tangible favor to our guests instead. So, that being said, we're giving them 'Fall in Love' glass coasters instead
We were debating between the syrup and what we got now...wind chimes!

We haven't decided yet, but my mom says they don't give favors at Jewish weddings!

Most likely caramel and candy apples. I'm searching for the best price now...but wow, they're pricey since we're giving one to every guest.

After much searching for fall themed favors that I actually liked, I found these candle holders. I love them!!!

Re: Fall brides...what are you doing for favors?
I haven't decided yet, but it does not have to be a fall themed item. I am trying to find a nice desk clock, something that hasn't really been done yet.
FH and I will make a donation separately from our wedding, in memory of my mom and in honor of his mom, both of whom suffered from cancer. I'd like to donate to Hospice care because they helped me so much at the end. I would also like to donate to NSH/LIJ's cancer centers for them to use the funds for patient care and comfort.

We are also giving out fall leaf cookie cutters that has a card 'cut out of each other' with our names and wedding date. The card also has a sugar cookie recipe included on it. We are also giving a little box with our names and wedding date with leaf design with lindt chocolate truffles in it.
Go to Jean M web site. They have many autumn favor ideas. We hop that we helped you out.

my daughter is having a fall themed wedding. She's giving Petite Merlot Gel Candles. It looks like a little glass of merlot. They come in a nice box, clear front, so they don't even have to get wrapped. We're going to put ribbon around it and attach a book of matches with their names & wedding date. It's really cute.
