I am definitely open to DIY as long as it doesn't require lots of work that must be done close to the wedding date (ex. baking cookies, making caramel apples, etc.)
Here are some ideas I had: little bags of chocolates from a hometown factory or pretzels from a local place (or making my own chocolate-dipped pretzels using them); making peach jam or something along those lines (although by the time I buy enough fruit and jars, it may not be so inexpensive), ordering treats from a local bakery like mini pies or apple tarts, etc.
Any recommendations? (and when I say inexpensive, I'd like to keep it under $2 pp) Thanks!
Re: Inexpensive edible fall favor ideas
What about popcorn balls or caramel appels? Very fall-sy.
Jam would be really nice but I could foresee that being a big pain in the butt and wallet!
Even without a groupon, their fortune cookies are 70 cents.
