Colorado
A novel favor in a Rocky Mountain state is a bag of little "rocks": actually nuts, dark chocolates, and dried apricots coated with a sugar shell, from MarieBelle. To echo the rustic motif, we used muslin pouches. Each sack was labeled using a custom rubber stamp.

California
Here's a fun twist on a cocktail-hour classic: These favors look like jars of pimento-stuffed olives, but they're actually sweet glazed almonds in disguise. Buy them in bulk from Gil's Gourmet Gallery and transfer them into glass jars. Seal with labels (print them from a computer and run them through a sticker machine). Tie with a jaunty striped grosgrain ribbon.

Oregon
A half-bottle of pinot noir, the red wine whose grape thrives in Oregon's cool climate, allows guests to toast your union long after the ceremony. Each bottle is wrapped in parchment paper. The labels, with calligraphy by Nancy Howell, were photocopied on heavy paper and tied on.

Wine Bottle Label How-To
Cut a square piece of paper with sides twice as long as the bottle's height, plus a few inches. Lay the paper flat, and hold the bottle on it, upside down, in the center. Wrap the paper up around the bottle on all sides, smoothing it against the bottle. Twist excess paper at the bottom, and tuck into the dimple. Pleat and smooth paper at neck, then tie on ribbons.

Wyoming
Old-fashioned nature-themed wrappers transform trail-mix chocolate bars from Coco-Luxe Creations into unique mementos from this western state. We replaced the sleeves on the foil-wrapped bars with computer-printed ones depicting elk, trout, native plants, and evergreens (the images came from clip-art books; some have accompanying CDs of the images). We added the names of the bride and groom, the date, and the location, and printed the labels. Pile the bars in large wicker baskets or trays for guests to dig into when the party ends. Opposite: Calligraphy by Nancy Howell.

Washington
Want to give your guests a thoughtful wake-up call? Try coffee from the Pacific Northwest, where residents famously consume caffeine by the gallon. You can leave the gifts in guests' hotel rooms (or offer them at the festivities). Order beans in bulk (try a blend from Dancing Goats) and transfer them to half-pound bags. Tie each bag with a length of colorful fabric.

Wrapping How-To
For quick cutting of fabric for ties, lay it on a mat and use a rotary cutter to cut 2-inch-wide strips. Wrap around bag and tie at the top.
