Sweet and Sassy Notepad Favours

These crafty and sassy mini-notebooks are all the rage; the matchbook style presenation is a nod to the days when smoking was not included on the list of Seven Deadly Sins and couples actually had match books custom printed for their big day as favours because absolutely everybody on the planet smoked.

Ahh, those were the days.

Anyway, Eva and Alice at Piping Hot Papers make these adorable matchbook notebooks in a range of sizes, running from $5 to $8.40 US for every pack of 10. They come in fantastic mixed but coordinated, double-sided papers so you can match them to your colours, theme or venue. Gorgeous!

You could of course DIY these, but shipping from the US is a very reasonable $4.25 for the first batch plus $1.25 for each additional set – meaning you can get 200, delivered, for under €150! Piping Hot Papers even takes custom orders.
