Is this a cheap or cost-saving idea for wedding favours?

We are trying to have an economic wedding and kind of splurged on the photographer so we want to save money in other areas. Even though my parents are paying the majority of it and his are contributing as well, I want to keep the costs down. I love baking. What about this for favours: each guest would get two sugar-cookies I make (home made, I LOVE BAKING!!) in the shape of fall leaves (we're having an autumn wedding) with fall-coloured icing on them. Kind of like the ones at Starbucks. I would just put these in inexpensive little bags or even get a sort of crinkly paper and wrap them in them and tie with a ribbon (you know, the plastic stuff they usually wrap gift baskets with). Is this cheap or a good idea?

If you have the time and the motivation, that would be very nice. Most people love cookies, and would appreciate your effort. A suggestion that if blocks of time are hard to find, bake the cookies in batches, wrap them up well and freeze them and unthaw just before decorating time later. This way you don't tire yourself out, and you are not dealing with a hot kitchen when you are trying to decorate. I don't think your idea is cheap, I think it is a good idea that matches your theme, and it will please you since you love to bake. And you are giving your guests something of yourself, one that they will like, too. If you are short on time, do the time honored and cheap thing, which is to buy pre-cut tulle, or cut it yourself, use the colors of the wedding for this, and fill it with mints, the meltaway kind that come in boxes at the grocery. Pastel mints or buttermints[that last one are pale yellow]. This would be easy to do the day before, and people appreciate the mints after a meal. Here, it is a custom to put a bowl of them and a bowl of mixed nuts on the cake table, Would'nt be a proper wedding without them, LOL. Comgrats.
