Re: how far in advance

you can do it whenever you want as long as your colors and theme are picked.

thats something small you can get done early so you don't have to worry about it when the wedding stress overtakes your entire life/body/soul a few months/weeks out.

can you tell i'm stressed??

yup, i had that feeling around the same time as you, and matches are a perfect thing to make you feel productive! it's never too early for that stuff as long as you have storage space.

how about napkins? we do letters? cardbox? guestbook? just some DIY to keep you productive?! are you doing STDs?

Where did you guys get your matchbooks? I was thinking of getting them because we are giving out sparklers before the ceremony so that when we walk down as man and wife, our guests can light the sparklers for us ... the ceremony is outside.
