Mint Matchbook Wedding Party Favors


Wedding favors can be something that sends your mind whipping in circles. It can be difficult to find that one something that not only thanks your guests but also celebrates your event. Our mint matchbook favors are 100% customizable and a great way to give your guests a little treat and a special memento of your big day. Have a selection of them at each table or at each place setting as an easy way to distribute your favors.


I recommend ordering at least two mintbooks per guest so everyone gets to eat one and keep one.


You can order either the bunting design in the color selection shown above or you can fully customize your favors like below.
In a hurry? Have too much to do already? Just not a crafty bride or groom? Let me do the work for you with a fully assembled order! Just open the box and start giving them away!


Have a limited budget? You're a crafty craftster? Order a DIY listing like the ones below. You get the same customizable designs but will receive a printable PDF to assemble yourself and stuff with your favorite treats.


View an array of custom designs before ordering!


Also great for business cards, like the one shown above! With full customization your choices are endless!

Wedding Decor

It's been three months since our wedding and I'm just now resurfacing enough to start posting some images of the big day! Having a backyard wedding was absolutely a dream!!!

Our wedding cake was made by our friend Terri Lynn and it was AMAZING and delicious and more than we could have ever dreamed of. It's her special Swan Island Pound Cake... ooooh!
Cake Toppers: Han Solo and Princess Leia Pez People by artist Kelly Weingart of Spindleworks Studios in Brunswick, Maine.


I had the insane idea to made pickles and wine jelly for the guests. Making 100+ cans of goods was pretty tiresome for the bride-to-be to do at the end of a long summer of wedding planning, gardening, and more... but I'm so happy with our guests' reactions to the homemade favors. Well worth it. I would highly suggest having some good buddies on hand to help!


Thank the heavens for an amazing mother-in-law-to-be and bridesmaids and friends who helped sew about 100 yards of bunting! It was exactly what I was hoping the tent to look like and we were able to lighten our load of fabrics that my sister and I were hoarding for the last 15 years or so!

I turned an old suitcase into our card collection box. This was a fun and easy way to add some fun to the decor and to tie into our registry wish for a dream honeymoon fund!

Mintbooks - Wedding favors

Oh hello there, my blog-lovin' friends! It's been a wee while since I've posted but there's very good reason... in April I got engaged and then on September 22nd we just got hitched! So I've been in wedding la-la land for ages, it seems like, but I'm back and ready to craft! And post more!

The good news is that with the wedding came a lot of new crafts... many of which I've been eager to share with you on my blog! So stay tuned for more posts!


Today's post is all about a very special project that was one of the first we created for our wedding. Mint Matchbooks or Mintbooks, as I like to call them. We made these way back in May and kept them right up until our wedding at the end of September. They were a huge hit at the reception. We also created some mini cake stands (which will be featured in another blog post coming up soon) that were part of the table decorations. We had these mintbooks on the stands at each table as an extra favor for each of our guests.


I'm now offering these mintbooks for special order in my Etsy shop! Customers can customize their mintbooks with their own names (and wedding date if they like!). Simply visit my shop listing and contact me if you'd like your own order (or leave a comment here).


Wedding crafting may have become an addiction for me...
