By Andrea McClure

If you are a bride holding your nuptials this fall one of things you need to think about is your edible favors. These are gifts of thanks and gratitude you give your guests for coming to your wedding. They are some great treats that they can enjoy either at the wedding or at home. However you might be wondering what would be great items to give that will fit the fall theme for your wedding. The good news is that there are plenty of such items available this season. Here are some of the more popular ones that have come up in past seasons.

The first is popcorn. Popcorn is a common fall treat especially with the corn harvests coming in. The best thing about this treat is that it can be good plain with some salt or you can take it to the next level with caramel and cheddar flavors. An interesting variety I came across was cherry pecan popcorn. It was a healthier version of cracker jacks with dried cherries, pecans, and plain popcorn. This will definitely be a favorite with people who want more healthy snacks.

A perennial favorite is candied apples. You normally see these at fall carnivals but they also make excellent wedding favors. You can even go with different varieties a new twist on this I?ve seen is chocolate covered candy apples. You also can use other fall fruit like pears for different flavor and texture.

Another staple item would be baked goods. More than any other season you will find all kinds of baked goods being made. You can go with all kinds of different delicious pastries and pies in served in moderate sized container as wedding favors. First off you can go with traditional fall option like cookies or brownies. These are perfect for favors since they are small and easy to package. For something with a fruitier taste, you can go with small fruit pies like apple, cherry, blueberry, or even peach. They will definitely be well received.

For a more fall oriented edible guest gift, go with trail mix. This option is great because you can customize the mix to orient on seasonal nuts like almonds, pecans, walnut, and peanuts. You can also mix in dried fruit like dried cherries, apple, and pears. Use your imagination to provide your guest with something original and delicious.

Another great choice is country samplers. There are baskets or trays with samples of different cheeses, sausages, and preserves. They are not only taste great but can be enjoyed by your guests for weeks to come. This is perfect for a wedding with a rustic or harvest theme. It also is something that your guest can use again and again especially with the preserves which you can enjoy with toast or use in making pastries.

Honey is also a great item to give as an edible favor. It is a natural sweetener and can be enjoyed alone or use as a spread or cooking ingredient in most deserts. The trick with this favor is type and packaging. Purchase honey that comes in rustic containers such as mason jars. Also you can get different types of honey depending from what type of plant the nectar use to make it come from. Try to look for different varieties that might provide unique flavors. - 30544
