Not everyone elects to have a traditional wedding. Some love
the fun and excitement of Halloween and want to share their
favorite holiday with others with a marriage ceremony. Just
like those “trick or treaters” that arrive at your door,
your wedding guests also deserve a special treat. Here are 9
ideas for wedding favors that you can present to your guests
when celebrating your Halloween themed wedding.

Trick or Treat Bags

Since it’s Halloween, fill small paper trick or treat bags
with the orange foil covered chocolate pumpkins and other
candies.

Halloween Candles

You can purchase some very interesting molded Halloween
candles in a variety of shapes and sizes (like pumpkins,
ghosts, haunted houses, etc.). Wrap up in orange tulle and
tie with black curly ribbon.

Cauldron of Pumpkins

Fill small, black plastic cauldrons with orange foil-wrapped
chocolate pumpkins.

Pumpkin Jars

If you’re on the crafty side, make candy filled pumpkin
jars. First, you’ll need to collect some baby food jars.
Paint pumpkins around the glass with craft paint. Cover the
top with orange felt and glue two felt leaves to the top.
Add a small piece of dowel, painted light brown, for a stem.
Fill the jar with candies.

Orange Net Favors

Cut 6″ circles of tulle in orange and black colors. Place
either candies or a small votive candle in each circle.
Gather and tie off with the opposite color of ribbon.
(Orange ribbon, black tulle and black ribbon, orange tulle.)

Wizard’s Wand

Buy 1″ diameter dowels and cut into 12″ lengths. Paint
dowels a deep purple. Apply gold stickers in shapes of
stars, moon and sun. Seal with acrylic sealer. Add gold and
purple streamers tied to one end. Attach a favor tag with
your names and wedding date that says: “The power of our
love creates a magical world. Thank you for joining us in
this mystical night.”

Witches Broom

Buy small straw brooms (available in craft stores). Wrap
black and orange ribbon down the handle and tie a black bow
just above the broom. Add some autumn colored silk leaves
and dried flowers tucked in and glued around the bow.

Pumpkin Butter

Purchases small jars of pumpkin butter. It’s like pumpkin
pie in a jar and it’s great on biscuits and crackers.

Miniature Pumpkin Pies

Check with a local baker to see if you could have miniature
pumpkin pies made. Wrap in cellophane and tie with
orange/black ribbons. Simple, unique and delicious!
