Caramel apples bring out the kid in everyone and make the perfect souvenir for an informal afternoon wedding. Each piece of candy-coated fruit is wrapped in a sheet of cellophane and tied with waxed cord; bright paper scrolls are hole-punched three times and speared by bamboo skewers.

Vermont
Maple sugar candies are a melt-in-your-mouth local specialty sure to be gone before the last dance. Transform a store-bought box of candy (this one is from Maple Grove Farms of Vermont) by re-placing the lid with a paper band printed with a personal message (leave the shrink wrap intact). Finish with a yarn bow.

Maine
Guests are sure to grin when they receive a pair of bright red lobster lollipops, playful versions of a Maine icon, from Ju-C Suckers. We tied them together with a blue gingham ribbon and attached a custom-stamped hang tag. The good news: no plastic bibs or drawn butter required.

New Jersey
Saltwater taffy, a popular souvenir of Atlantic City, is shore to be a crowd pleaser, even if you are nowhere near the boardwalk. Deposit the candies (these are from The Original Fudge Kitchen) into a cellophane bag and secure with a satin ribbon, looping it through an oval-punched label stamped with a greeting.
