Custom Matches as Wedding Favors: Quantity & Personalization

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.

Key takeaway

Order to guest count plus ~30% for the send-off and keepsakes — 100 boxes is our minimum. Foil on a matte box is the photo-ready favorite, and per-box names turn favors into place cards.

Send your names, date, and colors and we’ll mock up your wedding matchboxes free, usually within one business day. Comparing formats? See custom match sizes.
