Why Custom Matches Are the Perfect Wedding Favor
When I married my beautiful wife five years ago, I put my print expertise to good use by creating a variety of custom merch, including matchboxes. Back then, the minimum order was 2,500 matchboxes! Even today, I'm still handing out matches to friends and family who attended our wedding, and they absolutely love it every time. It's the gift that keeps on giving, which is why custom wedding matchbooks are truly the best!
Matchboxes with a Sticker
One of the most budget-friendly options is using matchboxes with a custom sticker. While it’s the most economical choice, it’s also simpler in design. Your design will typically be limited to one side, or two if you opt for different stickers on each side. The stickers are available with either a white or clear background. I recommend choosing a gloss-coated matchbox to match the finish of the sticker. Using a glossy sticker on an uncoated box can make the label stand out in a less appealing way.
Foil Stamped Matchboxes
If you’re aiming for a more luxurious feel and are ok with containing your design to just one side, foil-stamped matchboxes are an excellent choice. These matchboxes can be customized with elegant foil details, such as your names or a unique design, giving them a sophisticated, polished look. They’re ideal for upscale weddings or couples who want their wedding favors to make a statement.

TOP PICK: Matchbooks or Matchboxes with Full Coverage Printing
This is the custom wedding matches I would highly recommend going with. Especially if you want them to have the same professional look as you would find at your favorite restaurant or hotel bar. This option allows for complete customization of the entire surface area. For matchbooks, you can design both the inside and outside. Full coverage printing ensures your wedding favors are one-of-a-kind and perfectly aligned with your wedding theme.
Conclusion: The Perfect Finishing Touch for Your Wedding
Custom matches are more than just a functional item; they’re a stylish, memorable way to thank your guests for sharing in your special day. Whether you opt for simple stickers, elegant foil-stamped boxes, or fully customized matchbooks, these favors are sure to leave a lasting impression. With their blend of practicality and personalization, custom matches are the perfect finishing touch for any wedding celebration.
