Philadelphia is full of food wedding favor ideas; cheesesteaks, tastykakes, peanut chews, Herr's chips, and many others, but the one I love the most is the soft pretzel.

Maryland is well known for their crabs, when I took a trip there everyone told me that a soft shell crab sandwich was a must! But these wedding favor ideas are not for soft shell crabs, they are tools to crack open your hard shelled crabs! I love the idea of personalizing the crab mallet with your names and wedding date; now every time your guests hammer down on their crab legs, they will think of you!

I bet you are probably thinking that every hometown wedding favor idea was going to be food, huh! Food is a great representation of where you come from, but there are plenty of other things as well. In the states that represent New England, sailors make up many of the locals who live there, and if you're not a sailor you probably know someone who is. If one of these states is your hometown a sailor knot bracelet like this one would be a wonderful wedding favor for your guests or even just for your bridesmaids. This one is made in Rhode Island from their very own nautical cords.
