| I personally love any kind of candy but there are tons of other things you can do within your budget. You can get personalized shot glasses for pretty good prices at www.discountmugs.com . We just attended a wedding where the favour was a bamboo plant. It had a label attached with care instructions and a blurb about the strength of the bamboo and the strength of the couple's love. It was very nice!

| If you have time you should check out E-Bay, they have so much stuff and for great prices. We just bought our guest favors on the weekend from EBay...120 Sandalwood Fans for $120 with no shipping or handling. 
There are tons of other ideas as well on there and usually if you took to the vendor they will give you a great price. Good luck!

I think if we do any favours we'll go with the mini-photo frames - and use them for table cards "Find your name, take your frame!"
These look like a good deal -

but I'd really like to find something with Mackintosh detailing to fit our theme like these, only a lot cheaper : )

There's tons of other ideas, especially if you're willing to put some work into it (DIY).
Do you have a theme or feel for your wedding? What time of day is it taking place? What time of year? What are your colours?
I am getting married in the fall. My colors are dark purple, dark red, and rustic orange. I am thinking something to do with candles...those could be inexpensive.
I am not sure what your culture is, as that can play an element as well, but I went to a Pilipina/Italian fusion wedding (bride was pilipina and groom, italian) where they gave out cheese plate/knife sets (maybe out of your price range though they didn't look high end just cute) with a wine/cheese theme on them in the receiving line, and then with your escort cards, each couple got a straw coloured mesh see thru bag tied with raffia and inside there were 2 maple sugar candies in the shape of maple leaves. The escort cards were made to look like fall maple leaves in rust/mustard colours - it was very cute and very fall like (the wedding was in fall so it fit the theme - the cheese plates, not so much).
2 B Wed July 10, 2009!
Me (29) + FH (32) + his son (12) = 9.5 years together
Done so far:
Asked wedding party, decided on venue (Miller Lash), got catering quotes, decided theme, brainstorming details, started dress search, hired kicka$$ planner, made vendor lists, fought with FMIL, made up with FMIL, lost e-ring, found e-ring... only 10 mos to go!

I ended up doing Truffles, it was cheapest. But another idea is KeyChains. You can get them for about $2.00 ingraved.
Was married on August 22nd 2008

Bought them from our favourite vendor at our local farmer's market and wrapped them in cellophane with a cranberry ribbon and card ourselves two days before the wedding. We chose flavours that are our faves - espresso for DH and Grand Marnier for me.
