Favors and Escort Card Ideas from The Knot

I'm debating whether or not I want to have favors at my wedding...while I think they are a great idea, very often are cute and fun...how many wedding favors do you still have from weddings that you've been to? Let me count mine....oh wait! I can't! I don't have them anymore!

I've seen a lot of stuff lately that is actually useful and unique lately. I've spent a lot of time searching on The Knot for ideas. I think my biggest question is....should I just use my escort cards as my favors?? I'm doing candy at my cake reception, and thinking of just using something cool for my escort cards at the family/wedding party dinner that will go along with my theme and be the favor at the same time!

Here's a few things I've seen lately! I may add more later!
