Wedding favors

Hey brides!
My wedding has been postponed from this August (2020) to June 2021 and with the extra time I’ve been changing some of what I had originally planned, but a little stuck on the favors. Our wedding is overseas where I was born/raised so we are limited on what we can travel with and sending things ahead would cost a fortune so regarding favors we are picking up locally made soap/candles and bringing some sweet treats to throw into gift bags, however I’m unsure if preparing a gift bag is the way to go now. Should we A) have things out on a table with a sign saying please take one of each, and having the gift bags available for them to put them in themselves or B) preparing the bags and putting things in them ahead of time with the bags out to grab after the reception? I’m trying to find affordable bags that don’t look like dollar store bags, but am finding nice ones to be rather pricey. The soaps and candles are wrapped in local handmade paper which is gorgeous so won’t look bad left out on a table. Would consider “welcome” bags instead but everyone is staying at different hotels/arriving at different times and I fear people may miss out since I won’t be available on the day to make sure things run smoothly since I’ll be getting ready. Any advice is welcome!
