Need opinions... am I going too crazy with the personlized items?
We are making our favors and they are going to have a label on them with our monogram, I am also making candles with the same monogram to go on the tables with the cp's...
and now I want to order personalized match books to give out with our cigar roller.. I was going to get our names with the date and two hearts on it..
Do you think its too much with the personlized cr*p?

I think it maybe a little overkill. I caught myself doing this as well . It is so hard not too.

Re: Am i doing too much?
I think it's up to you. The matches seem great. What are the favors? It seems natural that you would have something on those. If you wanted to omit something, I would say candles but I think it's really up to you. It's not like they are all on the table or something which would be overkill.. they are all spread out in different places.
Post pics if you can!!

I dont have pictures.. just ideas in the back of my head that I wish I could make go away sometimes!! lol its seriously wedding 24/7 inside my head.
I think If anything I will leave the candles plain.. they are just small votive candles to add a little something to the cp's and also to put on the CH tables.
Our favors are personlized bottle openers and beer.. (YES BEER) My FH makes his own beer so he is going to make one for everyone and then we are going to put them together with the bottle openers.

You might already know this but If you do decide to get the matches, they are 50% off on the knot right now! You can get 100 for $17.99. I am thinking about getting them myself...

Yeah I just ordered from there... got 200 for $50 (that includes shipping and tax) so excited.. I think it will be ok if anything I will exclude the candles.

Re: Am i doing too much?
I think it may be a bit too much for the CPs and the favors... along with everything else. I mean, don't get me wrong, I have my monogram on everything it seems... This is my list that includes the monogram or our date and names and all that: Match boxes Napkins Voltive Candle Holders Cake Topper Ailse Runner with will turn into a banner My card box I had to limit myself at that point....b/c then FH even said, woah, are you trying to tell the people who we are in case they forget?!?! LOL. So, That's all I'm sticking to. How are you working the CP to have it? Any pics???

The CP's dont have our monogram... the candles that I am putting around it might.. they are plain votive candles that I might add clear labels to but am not sure yet.
So far my personlized list is Matchbooks, Favors and maybe the candles

And, if you want to add something to the candles, you don't necessarly have to use your names or monograms... you can even do something that is your theme. Like, if you are doing a butterfly theme, add a butterfly or two on each. Or a rose that you like.... ya know? That can work too if you feel it's too much. Then again, it IS YOUR wedding LOL

how about only 1/2 the candles with monograms say you do 10 per table 5 with and 5 without and alternate them.... so you still have your monogramed candles but nott too much

That is a great idea too! I was thinking maybe just using the ones with the monogram for CH tables.. and then use the plain ones on the table with the cp's .. I dunno.. either way I just want to make sure its not monogram or 'Jen & John' overload

Re: Am i doing too much?
That would be a great idea... yes, I would do half and half. There won't be any overload that way...
