Decorate around the hole in an anyway you like. Maybe with a paint pen or metallic pen. But, don't use anything that would be a fie hazard.

• Small terracotta pots filled with candy corn. Paint the pot any color you'd like and decorate in anyway you want. Put a plastic liner inside. Use plastic wrap you get at the supermarket. The pot can also double as a place card. Just write the name of the guest on each one. Use a metallic pen or paint pen.

• Use a small terracotta pot for a pretty leaf arrangement. Use floral foam or Styrofoam cut to fit the pot. Put in beautiful colored leaves and you could incorporate some acorns sprayed painted gold. Acorns or dried beans could cover the Styrofoam to keep it from showing through.

• Use tulle in pretty fall colors is a wonderful holder for candy or nuts. Make an 8 in. circle and place the candy or nuts in the middle. Gather up the tulle and tie with a pretty ribbon.

• Pots decorated with leaf stamps can be a holder for seed packets.

This should give you lots of ideas for some great fall wedding favors.
