Even though it’s still rather warm here in Texas, this Saturday marks the first day of Fall. To help you turn your thoughts toward cooler times and warmer colors, we want to share some super-fun and yes, fabulous, Fall-inspired favor ideas with you.

Fall is a wonderful time of year for several fruits. Who doesn’t love apples, especially when they are covered in caramel or chocolate or nuts or whatever else your hearts (and taste buds!) desire?! And they are so pretty, aren’t they?!

Cellophane bags make perfect packaging for these treats!

Get creative with your presentation of these sweet treats!

Another way we enjoy fruit in the fall is in delicious pies!!! Look at these darling minis, perfect for one or two people to delight in.

Enlist your baking friends to help you make these cuties during a pie party or talk with your bakery.

Another fruit perfectly in season during Autumn is the pear! Juicy and sweet, pears can be a cute option for favors.

Put several pears in a bag for a generous seasonal favor.

They are equally as impressive as singles when wrapped in customized tissue.

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, fresh and fragrant herbs make another wonderful favor inspiration.

These petite pots of various fresh herbs serve double duty as escort “cards”.

Herb-scented sea salt is an impressive DIY favor project requiring little effort! And we are always suckers for both the lovely and the practical!

Along the same line as herbs, tiny plants make great favors, as well.

Using the potted favor as an escort or place card makes these simple and elegant plants well worth the cost.

With promises that evening temps will soon be dropping low enough to consider lighting up a bonfire, we will leave you with this final sweet treat, perfect for a fall favor that will melt your guests’ hearts: s’mores kits!

Cute glassine bags filled with graham crackers, chocolate squares and marshmallows invite your guests to remember you again later as they make s’mores by a fire.

Coming up with creative seasonal ideas for your wedding favors can be fun and easy. Just brainstorm about your favorite memories of fall and you are sure to dream up all kinds of fabulous favors that will let your guests know how much you appreciate them helping you make new memories on your wedding day! Happy planning!
