I know there are people who collect their family and friends' wedding keepsakes. I say if it makes you happy do what makes the day extra special for you.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/is-this-super-tacky#post-453736 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:24:09 +0000 Marinara 453736@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Aw, thanks you guys!! Totally makes sense that items meant for home display can be tacky with someone else's name and wedding date on them...&nbsp; glad to hear that most people won't think I'm some kind of bridezilla egomaniac for putting the names on the matches hahah -- just thought they were cute!</p> <p>It's funny though -- we did personalized cocktail napkins too.&nbsp; We thought putting names on those would be a little boring, so we put quotes from Midsummer Night's Dream, which was sort of a subtle inspiration for the evening-in-the-garden wedding.</p> <p>I get how personalization can be annoying... thank you all!&nbsp; :)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/is-this-super-tacky#post-453372 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:27:16 +0000 rosepinkslipper 453372@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Meh, why spend the money? Plain matchbooks would work just as well.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/is-this-super-tacky#post-453362 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:24:22 +0000 KMSull 453362@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Goodness, that's ALOT of stuff! I think the matchbooks are cute, especially since you're giving out sparklers. Plus it's a little thing that people will think of you when they see it. Everyone always needs matches!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/is-this-super-tacky#post-453297 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:06:46 +0000 MissHelen 453297@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Go for it!&nbsp;Matches are practical and can be carried anywhere. And they'll fit in with your bags perfectly. Definitely, definitely go for it!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/is-this-super-tacky#post-453275 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:01:38 +0000 2010bride2bee 453275@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I love matchbooks for some reason. If we go to a restaurant or someplace that has them I always pick one up as a momento and then use them to light candles, etc. I think it's a cute idea. I was thinking about doing them as well and just sticking them in an oversized cocktail glass by the bar. Take 'em if you want 'em....type of thing.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/is-this-super-tacky#post-452305 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:31:52 +0000 msmonicka 452305@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I love, love, love personalization. Its your day so of course there's gonna be stuff with your names on it. I think its a fab idea!! Go with it!!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/is-this-super-tacky#post-452294 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:26:50 +0000 honeybun 452294@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>@future wolf: It took me a minute to figure out that by huggie, you did not mean a diaper. I was like "what the??????"</p> <p>HAHAHAHA Wow. TGIF!!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/is-this-super-tacky#post-452293 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:26:34 +0000 Tulip61110 452293@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I think the matchbook idea is an exception to the rule of having names on favors because it is something they can actually use, rather than just some item that sits&nbsp;there and does nothing.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/is-this-super-tacky#post-452286 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:23:42 +0000 Future Mrs. Martin 452286@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I think it is nice because they are going to USE it that night!</p> <p>I hate taking things home with the couples names on it and really when would I use a matchbook at home - but seen as they will use it that night - i like the idea!</p>
