Build a Gingerbread House!
If you are having a Christmas or winter themed wedding, keep the children entertained by purchasing a Gingerbread house kit. These kits are fairly inexpensive and come with all the supplies necessary. Sit one at each child’s spot or just one a group can work on at the kiddie table. It is sure to be a hit and plus it will be extra yummy to eat afterwards!
Message Bean
This “bean” is definitely beyond anything that “Jack and his bag of beans” could have ever conceived. Believe it or not, each bean has a word lasered onto one side, and a complementary image on the other. All one has to do to see the “message” is grow the bean. The recipient simply pulls off the foil top and bottom piece (to let the water drain), and adds about ½ cup of water to the soil. In about a week or so, the bean will poke thru the soil revealing the special message. In today’s crazy world of “real-time”, this is something that is well worth waiting for. Available in Thank You (with Thanks in Japanese), Love (with a heart), and Happy Birthday (with a musical note). Brand new styles: Happy Holiday (with two stars on the other side), Peace (with Peace written in Japanese on other side), Dream (with Dream written in Japanese on other side), Best Wishes (with Best Wishes written in Japanese on other side) and Get Well (with Get Well written in Japanese on other side). I believe this would be a unique and memorable idea as part of a wedding gift or as a favor option. Plus this gift will symbolize the growth of your love with your spouse. Did I take it a bit too far on the symbolism? I have a tendency to do that but you know what I mean. Check it out!

Halloween Wedding Favors
Fall Favor Option~Mini Pies
Scrumptious tartlets from a bakery in custom-stamped bags make for tasty treats that are easy as pie to assemble in advance. Miniature pecan pies, which will stay fresh longer than most desserts, can be picked up at the store or delivered to you a day before the wedding. When you receive the pies, bridesmaids or moms can add extra pecans, tuck them into wax-lined bags (ours are decorated with a custom-made rubber stamp), and seal them with double-sided tape. A tray set by the coat check is sure to be emptied as guests take their leave.Source
Caramel Apples
If you are looking for a fun unique wedding favor, why not give them caramel apples. Caramel Apples are fun and festive for a fall themed wedding. You can dip them in peanuts or just leave them plain. Serve these apples as part of a desert buffet or candy ball and place them on top of silk leaves as pictured above. Another option is to place the apples on a sheet of wax paper, gather at the top and tie with ribbon and a few leaves. Easy, simple, fun, and oh so cute!
