Thank your guests with regionally-inspired wedding favors

wedding favorMy niece was married last December. The wedding was stunningly beautiful (as was my niece). The timing of her wedding lent itself to a Christmas theme. For favors, we packed Christmas ornaments in cream boxes and decorated them with ribbon, a bell, and evergreens.

But even if your wedding isn't as theme-based as my niece's was, you can come up with any number of original do-it-yourself wedding favors. If you're in need of inspiration... think regionally. From the maple candy in Vermont to a mini bottle of wine in California, every location has something to inspire a wedding favor.

The Martha Stewart Weddings site has an extensive list of ideas for regional wedding favors. These local treats are sure to be appreciated by all: they serve as an introduction to your area for out-of-town guests, and are a familiar favorite for locals.

For more wedding favor ideas, see Jessi's post on keeping wedding favors personal.
