i was going to do the same - it's a nice touch....

i'd say it's up to your budget. Leave it as one of the last things & if you have the room - do it.

Most people won't remember the napkins...but if you have your heart set on it - enough will notice :)

Totally a budget cut for us...but i would've liked to have done it!

I'm doing napkins and maybe coasters as favors but not for the bar... I dont think people are going to notice.. maybe put them on the table?

Re: to do or not to do

That's a tough one..... I keep going back and forth with this all the time... I think it's a nice touch but then when you think about it, are people actually going to use your matches ever again. IDK??? I think that my FH and I are going to get the personalized napkins for the bar......As far as it being pointless, I think that's just a personal choice... some girls will say absolutely get them done and some will say it's a waist of money but I guess you could say that about cry packs, chair covers, aisle runners, monogram cake toppers, ect...none of it is a necessity but most brides want it, LOL!!!! Damn if you do, Dawn if you don't.

if you want them, i say why not - as long as they fit in the budget.

i have always wanted to do matches for some reason.... so i will.... not as favors, but put them at the bar too... i will stash some beforehand for myself as keepsakes

I am going to do it. I won't go overboard or spend a ton, but I think most people will notice. I wouldn't do it if it was expensive, but they really aren't.

Here's what my Mom tells me (although I'm the one paying) - If it makes you happy, it's your Day, do it!

I would be getting disposable ones...I know no one would keep them

If you can have it in your budget, then go for it.

If it'll only cost you about $100, and it will make you happy.. then go for it!

I think that I'll just get napkins for the bar, and maybe some matches - but I'm not going to go crazy. Just enough to add a little touch.

If you can get it all for $100 and it'll make you happy - then by all means - go for it! But again though - I would leave it as my last thing to buy...you never know when something may pop up and you're kicking yourself for spending that 100 on that....

Re: to do or not to do

i agree with the others and see if it fits your budget and if you really want it then why not...though i've never seen coasters - that could be cool; i always like matches because people use them. napkins are pointless IMO

do it if the people in charge remembers to put them out. i read somewhere that someone had it done and they forgot to put them out ....
