Your best bet is something edible, if you do candles, make sure they aren't personalized. I'm adding personalized matchbooks to mine for the personalized touch
At the last wedding I went to, the favor was a votive candle and I was thrilled--but it happened to be my favorite candle brand.
Candy bars/edible favors and photo booths are really popular and generally please everyone. Wine and champagne (which is what I did) are usually popular also. Stay away from anything personalized. You can also skip them entirely.
Do something that represents you and FI; candles are used A LOT! Do you guys have a hobby that you could incorproate into your favors? I am doig playing cards in the colors of my wedding, because FI and I play cards with our families all of the time! And they are a favor that can be used over and over again. We also thought about having a golf ball and tee for favors, because we both really like to golf, and are having our ceremony and reception at a golf course! Think of personal things that you would like to give your guests, that they would like to receive!
I agree with FutureMrsSheeler (above) that you should do something that represents you! I have catered for wedding for the past 5 years now and actually have not seen too many candles done. I will be doing little heart shaped candles that have our names on the outside of the tin because I LOVE candles. Not only do I think that they represent us, they are pretty cheap to do.
Its all really up to you though, and what you like
