AKA dustcatchers! Favors, are supposed to be a thank you gift to your guests for having attended your wedding. Are they necessary? I think not! Will you give them anyway, you bet!
That said, there is no need to break the bank getting favors, make it something useful (they're your group of friends after all, what do you all have in common? Whatever that is, find a way to tie your favors into it.)
No one, to my knowledge, likes jordan almonds. Especially not the pastel ones (which pretty much eliminates ALL of them). Lets stay away from almonds. Any other kind of candy - thumbs up. Do a candy buffet (yes, you can even do it in your wedding colors) and have little bags or chinese take out boxes for people to make their own favor bags.
People like to give CD's of their favorite music. I've always wondered how that is supposed to be of any use to me. Its your favorite music, not mine! If a majority of your guests are club/concert goers, how about a mixed CD of fave bands? Or a best of CD? Limiting your guests to your favorite music is not a brilliant idea, those CD's will see the dark recesses of a bin before you're back from your honeymoon.
Ebay is great for favors. Specifically wedding related favors. Type in wedding favors and a huge assortment of items comes up, at very very decent prices.
