The shop owner was able to customize this listing and change the font to match our invitations and other printed items. With the time-consuming caveat, here is the tutorial!

It seemed psuedo-trendy (matchbooks seems to be cool again), simple, and something everyone can use at home!Īfter doing some research, I found that you can buy personalized matchbooks for around $1.00 or slightly less a piece, but I knew we could make them for less! Admittedly, it did turn into a more time consuming project than I thought it would be and without the help of my wonderful mother, I don't think I could have gotten this done with everything I had on my plate. And, although I knew I wanted to do some kind of favor, I knew it wasn't something I wanted to allocate a huge portion of our budget to it.Īs I searched for ideas for a favor, I really liked the idea of doing matchbooks/match boxes. I've been to weddings with favors ranging from a make-and-take candy bar to local honey. While having a favor certainly is not necessary, it can be a nice personal touch and a "thank you" for everyone who came to make your day special. As you plan your wedding, you might wonder, are wedding favors even worth it? Favors have certainly gained popularity over the past several years and everyone has their own opinion.

I also used it on the double-sided patterned paper matchbook notebook. I used Washi tape across the flap on my purple glittery matchbook notebook. Add any embellishments that you would like to use. Staple the matchbook together on the short flap using two staples, one on each end.Ħ.
