Editorial Guidelines Updated on February 17, 2023 Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos Photo: Lauren Jonas While wedding thank-you gifts don't need to reference the season, the temptation to do just that is near-irresistible when you're tying the knot in the fall. The transitional months offer an endless array of bounty, put a spotlight on nature, and favor savory smells and flavors. With so many seasonal options, fall-inspired wedding favors are appealing—especially if your wedding theme already nods to the time of year. For cool-weather ceremonies with gorgeous foliage backdrops, consider using the changing leaves as inspiration for the color of your favors. If your wedding is being held at a particularly autumnal venue, try gifting trinkets from the setting, like hotel or destination souvenirs. Similarly, we're always a fan of locally bought favors that embrace your location's seasonal crops. Farms, farm stands, and farmers' markets are great places to shop for organic, delicious gifts. Fall is also a time of changing weather, so you can choose to help guests brace for the chill with scarves, mittens, hats, or other outerwear. If fall reminds you most of sports or school, memorabilia from your favorite team or college might work. As you can see, the options are plentiful, and each embraces the season in a different way. Ahead are some creative ideas for giving guests fall-inspired keepsakes. Whether you'd like to gift your loved ones with edible goodies, decorative trinkets, or tools to face the incoming cold, these autumnal ideas are sure to help everyone remember your beautiful fall wedding. Browse through and see what sparks your interest, keeping in mind your wedding's theme and location. What you've already planned may help you pick the right present! 01 of 33 Mini Favors Rodeo & Co.
