Fall Wedding Ideas and Creative Ways to Include Gratitude in Your Wedding
Fall is the season of thankfulness, and there is a lot to be thankful for at a wedding. From finding that perfect venue to saying “yes” to forever with your partner, fall-inspired weddings have thankfulness woven into every element. And since being thankful is a huge theme of the fall season, many couples getting married in autumn want to showcase that beyond sending thank-you cards after the wedding. Here are some creative ways to include gratitude in your
fall wedding:
Thankful bOARD
Simple yet powerful, a thankful board is a unique way to add a touch of gratitude to your big day. Set up a display where guests can write down what they’re grateful for and watch as the writing grows throughout the night. Adding fall-themed touches, such as wooden signage, small clothespins to hang notes on twine, or fall florals, will create a beautiful setting for a lovely feature at your wedding. After your wedding, we suggest framing these notes or storing them in a memory box so you can cherish them for years to come.
Handwritten guest notes
Providing your guests with handwritten notes is another thoughtful way to express your gratitude for their presence at your wedding and in your lives. More personal than generic thank-you cards, these notes showcase just how much each of your guests means to you. This is also a lovely addition to your wedding favors that your guests will enjoy long after the wedding is over. If you have a large guest list, consider writing personalized notes to smaller groups, such as family, the bridal party, or longtime friends. To stay in line with the fall theme, we suggest using stationery in autumnal shades such as burnt orange, cream, or deep plum.
Charitable wedding favors
Do you want to go above and beyond typical wedding favors? Consider donating to a local charity or cause that holds special meaning for you and your guests. You can announce the donation before your reception or place a small tag on each place setting that explains the donation and why it matters to you. For something more tangible, consider giving favors that make a difference, such as handmade candles from local businesses, treats from a small bakery, seed packets that can be used to create a garden, and more.
