DIY Matchbooks

[f77g4]

FH & I are trying to incorporate his love of golf into our wedding where and when we can so I can still get my elegant,classy, romantic wedding and one of the areas that we are thinking about incorporating it is with our favors.

One of our favors is going to be a personalized golf ball.

Another favor that FH really likes is doing a matchbook but with golf tees in them instead. I have found them online but most places are close to $2 each and we need about 200 of them.

So I was kind of wondering if anyone has made them themselves - maybe not with the golf tees but with mints or matches?

You could just do a golf ball and golf tea wrapped in a bag of tulle :)
They are really cheap on oriental trading. but here is another site

I am in the process of making my own matchbooks with matches in them. It's rather time consuming and I only have to make about 80. So far I have only made 10. I just took apart a matchbook to make my own template and ripped out the matches to staple into the one I made. I'm really finding it a pain in the butt and am looking into buying either plain matchbooks to decorate or just buying personalized matchbooks.

Ok - glad to hear someone else has done their own...maybe I will just buy them then...lol...I don't know if I want to go through what you are.

Good luck in getting yours finished.

I dont really know where you can find them...but I thought of a super cute saying to put on them if you get the mint ones and put a golf tee on it:

Down to a tee; we're mint to be!

Cute.

We are actually planning on getting ones that have actual golf tees in them as we thought our guests might enjoy those more. But that saying is cute.

ebay has TONS of personalized ones. i think we will get 50 of them. not alot of the people at our wedding smoke but i like to have some out at the cocktail hour as we have an outside patio smoking area. I wont keep them out othr then at the cocktail hour. i think 50 of them were around 11.00

I found a company online tonight where I can get 250 for $0.82 each - its 50 more then I was planning on getting but it's actually cheaper for me to do this then order 200 elsewhere.
