You can do whatever you want - thats the best part of it being YOUR wedding! Maybe you could just put a bowls on the table and fill one with matches and one with kisses and whoever wants whatever could take one.

You can do what you choose but usually a gift is for a couple each. Dont worry it will all work out:)

First of all… this is YOUR wedding. No one can say "you can’t do that." You can do whatever you want. Just because it’s not traditional doesn’t mean it’s wrong. I think it’s a great idea! I’ve been to several weddings where they did non-traditional things and it all turned out great! No one cared.

You can have individual favors or couples favors. I see nothing wrong with giving matches to men and kisses to ladies. I would rather have some kisses than matches and I’m sure my fiance would rather play with fire! You do what your budget allows and what your thoughts provoke and don’t listen to your friend on this one!

Completely up to you- there are no "rules". She sounds like she’s jealous.

what i did was i had a cheap favor for everyone and then a handpainted tealight candle holder w/ candle (only had 50 and like 65 guests) so my reception coordinator placed 5 at each table of 8 and they could take them if they wanted, and it worked out fine, i actually had some left over! so you can place one kisses and then at the next place sitting set a book of matches, and they can pick wich one they want! very good idea by the way, that way they have a choice!!

It’s your wedding, do whatever you want and your budget allows.

Hi i think your idea of kisses for the lady and matches for the men is perfect. If you give the guys kisses, they won’t think much of them and the same if you give the girls matches. Fir my wedding i am giving tea light candles for all the guests. 1 per person. I think it depends on how expensive the gift is to weather you give 1 per couple or 1 each. Go with you gut feeling, after all it is your wedding. Congrats is think the present idea you have is excellent,

It depends on the favor. Edible favors are one per person. Non-edibles are one per couple.
Most men will only take the edibles.

You don’t have to do favors at all. The Wedding Industry may tell you that they are necessary, but The Wedding Industry’s purpose it to get you to buy things, not to tell what is truly correct. If TWI told you favors were optional, you might not buy any! Horrors!
It’s true that many of "The Beautiful People" like Jeff Gordon or Tom Cruise give each party guest a favor — you know, a little trinket like a diamond and titanium key ring from Catier. But when we mere mortals try to imitate this with silly little plastic geegaws, we make fools of ourselves. You just can’t do Rolls Royce style on a Ford Focus budget. Anyone who tells you it will be "weird" or "seem like something’s missing" with out favors is either a minion of or totally brainwashed by The Wedding Industry. Save your money for something that will REALLY add to your guests’ pleasure, like a more convenient location or a better band.

If a guy doesn’t smoke, why would he want matches? Some guys might find it sexist, especially if they like chocolates (or girls if they don’t - can’t imagine that though). I like the idea suggested by someone of putting a bowl of each at the table, but you would need to put a little card asking them to choose one (or mention it in the programs if you have them). Otherwise, just give everyone the kisses. We did chocolates at our wedding and they were very popular. At tables where someone didn’t want them, someone else easily gobbled it up for them. Call me silly, but matches also make me nervous around kids (or drunk adults).

Hi. I would do the Hershey Kisses in a little mesh bag or tulle circle tied with a silk ribbon FOR EVERYONE! Set them out at everyone’s spot.
Have you ordered the personalized matches with your names and wedding date on them? If so, you don’ want to waste them. Maybe put them out on the table too! If you have not ordered them already, simply do the Hershey Kisses.
I think it’s best to NOT promote smoking, although I do realize that you use matches for candles, etc. (as I do!)
Good luck!
