Whether you prefer a bottle or can, keeping your drink cold is important. There’s almost nothing better than an ice-cold drink – and almost nothing worse than one that’s room temperature, especially when you’re partying the night away.

Personalized koozies make a great wedding favor as well because they are fun and practical, cute, reusable, and affordable! If you're having an outdoor wedding and/or reception, these are a must-have for your guests.

Weddings

Why limit happy to an hour?
To have and to hold and to keep your drink cold
Eat, drink, and be married
The vows are done; let’s have some fun!
Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something brewed
Celebrate love and beer
Live well, laugh often, love always
Here’s to love, laughter, and happily ever after
I do (want another drink!)
I do BBQ
Love potion
Cheers to beers and many years
Let’s make a memory
Cheers to the new Mr. & Mrs.
Let love brew
We want to be formal, but we're here to party!

Don’t forget the classic option of just writing a name or bride, groom, bridesmaid, or groomsman on the koozie. While these may work better as gifts for your wedding party, they are a great spin off of your reception favors. And your bridal party will never lose their drink!

With all the different styles and fonts available, your koozies are sure to stand out from the crowd. You can also choose from foam, neoprene, leather or even silver-plated and can or bottle-shaped koozies to ensure your guests are getting the perfect favor.

Unique Groomsman Invitation Gift Boxes

Who says the bridesmaids are the only ones who can receive fun, gift-filled invitation boxes? The groomsmen are just as important to the groom as the bridesmaids are to the bride, and they deserve the same level of attention and just as many unique, personalized gifts.

Now, the age-old question: what do you give them? A stereotype about men is they’re hard to buy for. It seems we often come back to the traditional gifts, like tools or a tie or a flask. There’s nothing wrong with those gifts; they’re practical, and with personalization, they can be amazing and thoughtful presents.

But the way to take your gift-giving up a notch and really impress your groomsmen is to give unique, personalized accessories to go with those traditional (and perhaps stereotypical, but who cares? We all can always use another pocket knife) gifts.

Tools

If your groomsman loves to spend time working with his hands—whether it’s woodworking, gardening, or even grilling—but already has every tool he could ever want, it’s time to give him an apron that will protect his clothes and keep his frequently-used tools nearby.

Ties

Once he has enough ties, he needs a tie travel case! This case will keep his ties wrinkle-free during his trips – making it perfect for your wedding weekend and his upcoming business trip!

If he’s a more casual businessman or even a teacher, consider a desk caddie to help him stay organized; you don’t want him to lose his wedding invitation!

Or consider this docking station, which is perfect for using at the office or at home, for the groomsman who already has the watch and phone case and money clip – but seems to always forget one or the other!

Flasks

What pairs with whiskey better than cigars? Once you’ve selected the best cigars for your best men, personalize one of these stunning rosewood humidors for them too, so their cigars never go dry.

Looking for something more portable? You need this cigar flask! One side holds a cigar and one holds liquid. It’s smaller than a traditional flask, so your guys can take it anywhere.

Or, maybe your groomsmen are more into wine than liquor. If that’s the case, they need this stopper and pourer set. The two pieces fit together to re-cork the wine bottle with an easy-to-remove cap and no-spill pourer, keeping the wine fresh longer and minimizing leaks.

You've got his favorite player’s jersey, tickets to the next home game, and shot glasses with his hometown team’s logo on them – these are all great gifts for ay sports fan. They also fit really well in a gift box. Or, even better, you can tuck them into the pockets of this awesome stadium chair that easily folds up and includes an insulated pocket for a drink. Now you're the star, because thanks to you, he can use his personalized seat at that home game while supporting his favorite player.

If he prefers a backyard match or street pick-up game, check out this handy cooler that doubles as a stool. He can easily grab a drink and a break in between quarters.

Knives
We all love a good pocket knife--the more tools, the better! Some pocket knives even include a pair of pliers. But do your groomsmen have a pocket knife with a hammer with their names on them? Well, they definitely need one!

If you don't like the look of gift boxes and hate the idea of a plain old gift bag, or maybe you’re attempting to live a zero-waste life, you can easily make the container part of the gift. This messenger bag is heavy duty and waterproof while still looking reserved and classy, making it perfect for any and every type of guy. It’s big enough to hold everything he’ll need for work or school, a perfect carry-on item for a flight, and it has enough pockets for all the gifts you want to stuff in it!

Notes

For some people, writing a letter to someone they care about is the hardest thing in the world. If you're one of these people, here are some ideas for notes to include to tell your groomsmen how important they are -- sometimes, a few simple words are all you need.

Who you ask to be your groomsmen is an easy decision. You can ensure their answers will be an easy "yes!" with any of these thoughtful and unique gifts.

Waterfront Sequin and Driftwood Seattle Real Wedding

Inspired by the sea, Katie and Nate had the most magnificent wedding at Seattle's World Trade Center. Love, laughter, stunning decor, and waterfront views made it an event to remember. Sequins, air plants, and driftwood were hard for me to picture together at first, but after you see how they were tied together in this wedding, we promise you will adore the combination as much as we do.

Photographed to dreamy perfection by B. Jones Photography and coordinated flawlessly by Wishes! Wedding Coordination, this wedding embraces a nautical theme in a way we have never seen and won't soon forget.

CEREMONY

---

Katie and Nate exchanged vows in the same room where their reception would be held later that evening. The Holland America Line Room in the Seattle World Trade Center features floor-to-ceiling windows, providing a sweeping view of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains - the most perfect backdrop to this sweet couple's I Do's.

RECEPTION

---

From the navy and silver color scheme to the perfectly planned decor details, this reception was jaw-dropping. Guests were greeted by oyster shell place cards with hand-written names scrawled across the insides in navy ink. Blown-glass balls tied with weathered rope and acrylic signs paired with several different kinds of air plants and driftwood adorned the tables, coming together in simple elegance. In addition to their wedding cake, a donut wall kept guests happy all night long!
