Custom Matches as Wedding Favors: Quantity & Personalization

Weddings · 4 min read

Custom matches have quietly become one of the most popular wedding favors — small, useful, beautiful on a welcome table, and a perfect surface for a monogram and date. Here’s how to order them so the count and the design come out right.

How many to order

Order by guest count, not table count, and add a margin for the welcome table, the sparkler send-off, and keepsakes. A working guide:

Guests	Favor boxes	+ Send-off / spares	Suggested order
50	50	20	100 (our minimum)
100	100	40	150
150	150	50	200
250	250	75	round to 300

What to print

The classic is a monogram or first-names-and-date on the box face, with a short line on the back — “Let the adventure begin,” “A perfect match,” the venue, or a hashtag. Keep it to two type sizes and one or two colors; foil on a matte box reads expensive and photographs beautifully under string lights.

Personalizing each box

For place settings, you can take it further: send a spreadsheet of guest names or table numbers and we’ll personalize each box individually so it doubles as a place card. It’s the kind of detail guests pocket and remember.
