My mom and my fiance's mom both were full of ideas for favor, but I personally think they are sort of a waste. Who wants some little trinket with someone else's name and wedding date on it? Seriously, if someone even keeps it it just sits around collecting dust.
So my condition for favors was that it must be edible/useable. We're going to be doing something involving chocolate golf balls. Both of us golf and we're having the reception at a golf club. We will also incorporate golf tees personalized with our name and wedding date. Relatively cheap, and a lot of our friends are golfers so they will get used. And if someone throws theirs out, not a big waste.
And there are to be no bells of any kind at my wedding, lol. I have been to several where they were favors and the constant ringing drove everyone crazy, including the bride and groom, who couldn't even get down a bite of food. IMO, the bells just encourage people to ring them. People forget to clink on the class, but if the bell is sitting right there...
