Are personalized matches a thing of the past?My FI thinks we shouldn't get them since people aren't aloud to smoke indoors anymore. I always thought it was a great idea. I've taken matches from every wedding I go to as a momentum and I don't even smoke. I do use the matches to light all my candles at home. I also think my FI is trying to cut down on the small stuff b/c we're spending so much on this wedding.

We got them. Our favors are candles so we figured they could go along with them.

We did it because we had votives on the tables and thought it would be handy to have hem around if any went out.

Re: Anyone else buying personalized matchbooks?
A little morning humor - I swore I was going to get these even though everyone has told me it's a total waste of money. Why, because my parents quit smoking years ago & when we had the blackout last August I was all alone & matches from 2 couple's weddings were all I could find! If it hadn't been for the free wedding matches, I wouldn't have been able to light any candles or the stove (for warmth & survival in Aug! )
I'm totaly over dramatic & tell everyone those matches are how I survived the traumatic blackout. I think if it's in your budget great & if not they won't be missed. Maybe you can just get 1 order of 50 and put them by the bar or 2 on a table..that's like $15 and not a fortune!

I ordered what looked like matchbooks but were actually little boxes filled with candy hearts. Like the wooden matches in a box.

We got them too- I love them because it seemed like such a traditional thing to do- I almost got the bride & groom swizzle sticks too. I take matches from everywhere I go and I don't smoke- I use them for candles or whatever. And actually, matches are one of the few wedding favors I have kept as a memento and not thrown out or given away after a while.
You can also order little matchbook notebooks- they look like matches, but have paper inside that you can use as a small notepad.

I actually won 100 free matchbooks at a LIW GTG from from Follow Your Heart. So I got them done and they came out beautiful.

We are getting them with either our initials on them or 'the perfect match' written on them.

Re: Anyone else buying personalized matchbooks?
From a catalog- it was either Invitaitons by Dawn, or Rexcraft- I ordered from both and don't remember which one I got what from. I think they both have them, but there was a particular design I liked in one, that the other didn't have. They both have websites, if you search for them, I am sure you can find them.
BTW: I think they were $15 for 50 books.

We got them too - and our favors are part candles. I wanted them bc I love getting them from other weddings plus we put the claddagh symbol on them to incorporate a little Itish in to the wedding (I'm mostly Irish). Every wedding I have been to has them and in the grand sceme of things, they are so cheap! lol PS - We bought ours online from Rexcraft, the same place we bought our invites.
