Back in my day wedding favors were never more than a book of matches that said the B&G's names and the date.

We came from the same "day." I had never been to a wedding with favors until the last year or two (except for, as you note, the old matchbooks or napkins.) They seem completely pointless to me . . . I associate favors with a kid's birthday party.
I really don't want to take anything home from a wedding. Even the very nice chocolates we brought home from a wedding last summer went to waste -- we ate one each (of the 4 or 5 we each had in a box) and the rest went into the refigerator, where they remained until we found them 6 months later and threw them away. Of course, they were pretty much lost on me -- I'm not a big chocolate fan at all -- but even my wife and kids forgot about them.
My advice as a frequent wedding guest: Forget about favors.
