Weddingbee boards

I have gone back and forth about a MILLION times about wedding favours... and would love to hear your ideas, or see your pics of favours you have come up with!

I know I want it to be edible, so some kind of candy or treat, and relatively inexpensive. Candy in a bag type of thing, but maybe more creative than that?

My wedding will have a fall (autumn) vibe to it, with some Halloween elements possibly thrown in too (small pumpkins)... trying to think if there's a way to incorporate that into the favours. The favours don't necessarily have to follow a theme at all though, just trying to start a brainstorming session!

Anyway, would LOVE to see or hear your idea for edible wedding favours. What did you do for your favours? Did you make yours yourself?

THANKS!

@hotchocolate: First thought was Candy corn put into leaf shaped container or brown satchels? Or chocolates inside an orange satchel? Or orange and brown M&Ms in tins/containers?

And off topic but I think it would be really cute for centerpieces for you to fill hollowed out pumpkins with flowers! that image popped in my head and just sounded so cute!

@Aug2011Bride: I actually was considering the pumpkin centerpiece idea! But I got a good deal from my florist for submerged orange orchids with floating candles, and I loved that look so am probably going with that. I figured digging out all the crap from the pumpkin might be a bit too much labor, too!

I have thought of candy corn and might incorporate it somehow... I find a lot of people don't love it though since it's super sugary and a bit of an odd taste (I do like it though!). But I do love the colours, it would work really well.

Hmmm.... Any other ideas, ladies?? I know there must be someone out there who's done awesome favors!!!

awwwwwwwwwwwww fun! I always wanted to have a fall wedding and I wanted to make gingerbread cookies shaped like fall leaves......time consuming....but cheap!

These are awesome ideas, keep 'em coming!

My concern with baking something like cookies is freshness... I feel like it would have to be done very close to the wedding date so they're fresh, but I don't know if I could handle doing that with so much else going on! Something I could do ahead of time might be lower stress...

@ItsPronounced_ABear: I looove the idea of caramel apples, I did think about that. But I think they are pretty expensive, at least the ones I've had. If it's one per person (since it's a hard treat to share!), then I think that could get costly.

But I do still like the idea of just favor bags with candy.. I think people never get sick of that.

@Pilotsgirl09: YUM! I DO love candy apples... but I am having 150-170 people and just don't know if I can handle the labor! That's a lotta apples...

@Atalanta: Saw these just a couple days ago! They're adorable... I'm not nearly that talented though, and they're a bit too pricey unfortunately to order.

@FutureMrsBPB: Did look at maple syrup... Canadians love their syrup, haha. But like what you found, it's pretty expensive even for small bottles, so I dropped that idea!

@Unicorn: I do always like that idea. We're having an ice cream bar, and the dessert that's served with the meal, so I thought a full candy bar would be overkill and put everyone into a sugar coma. But I do want some kind of tiny treat, because I am sweets/chocolate-obsessed!

I'm doing chocolate truffles. 2 per box or even just 1 per box depending on the quote the vendor gives me :)

@Gerbera: LOVE those, so adorable - but not sure if they really fit with our general vibe, and it looks like a lot of work/supplies... I think I'm leaning toward something SUPER low maintenance.
