Why are there wedding favors? The bride and groom are considered to be lucky, as is anything they touch. Wedding favors are a way for the bride and groom to thank their guests for sharing in their happiness and to symbolically pass on their "good luck".
Today its really to thank them for coming.
Re: why do we give favors according to wedding etiquette books?
However, we already have favor bags and small ocean-themed candles. They take up about 1/3 of the bags, and I was thinking of including custom matches that reference our sparkler send-off (and for folks to use for the sparklers.)
I sort of feel like maybe we should add a small candy or a second small candle. The bags are rather large and would seem sort of half full otherwise.
What do you think?

Don't stress about it. To repeat, favors are NOT required. It's nice that you're doing something, but you certainly don't need MORE.
TBH, I wouldn't take this favor anyways as I don't use candles in my home. If I did take it home, unfortunately I would just toss it or donate it.
