Most wedding favors get used once and forgotten. Custom-branded lighters are the rare exception — if any portion of your guest list smokes, vapes, or lights candles, your favor gets pocketed and used for weeks. Here’s how to do it right.
Why Lighters Work as Favors
They’re universally useful (birthday candles count). They’re small enough to set at every place setting. They get used long after the wedding. And smokers/vapers carry them — a walking reminder of your day.
Design Ideas
- Couple’s names + wedding date
- Hashtag and venue
- Custom monogram in your wedding colors
- “Light up the night” or similar tagline
Quantity and Placement
Order 1.2x your guest count to allow extras. Place at the bar, the late-night snack station, or at each table setting if you want the design to feel intentional.
A Note on Inclusivity
Not every guest will use a lighter, but most know someone who does. Even non-smokers usually keep one in a kitchen drawer for candles. Don’t overthink the audience.
