Koozie Wedding Favor Ideas

Before moving south, I never used a koozie. Ever. Which is just ridiculous because they're brilliant inventions. I mean, they hug your drink and keep it cold. I spent years walking around outside with a naked water bottle as my beverage got warm.

When we got married, I wanted to give out koozies as a rehearsal dinner favor. I thought it would be such an amazing idea. It was something I picked up in North Carolina, and since our wedding was in the Tar Heel State, it was perfect. Once we started planning, though, we decided to do an open bar at the rehearsal dinner ... which meant water from a tap, beer from a keg, and wine from bottles. Everyone had cups, so no use for koozies. I loved the idea a lot, but had to scrap it.

But you don't have to. Seriously, it's such a great idea that you can make it work. We were at a wedding over the weekend and actually got koozies as wedding favors. We've both already used ours, and I even gave one to the bride when we were out two days after the wedding (because she was putting a napkin around her beer. Koozies are better).

There are cute Etsy listings for these (and Etsy is actually where our friends got them for last weekend's wedding. She got them from SipHipHooray, if you want to take a look). Etsy listings can often go out of stock quickly, so, even though I love and support small businesses, the ones below aren't from there.

I picked out my top five to get you started.

Drink Koozies Wedding Favors

1. Eat Drink And Be Married Koozies
2. Wedding-Themed Koozie Set 
3. Something Brewed Koozie
4. Personalized Wedding Can Cooler
5. Personalized Collapsible Can Coolers

Eat Drink And Be Married koozies

The Eat Drink And Be Married koozies are really cute, simple, and right to the point. Being black and white means they can match any theme, although they look best with a chalkboard theme. Personally, I love multiple fonts on the koozie. It pops that way. We were planning to go that route, had we made these.

Wedding-Themed Koozie Set

This wedding-themed koozie set is the only one on this list that isn't uniform. It comes with six different pictures: two text only and four mismatched images. Three are pink, two are blue, and one is purple. For someone like me, who had a wedding-specific need for things to be very uniform, this absolutely wouldn't work. But for someone who doesn't like matchy-matchy things, this set is perfect.

Something Brewed Wedding Koozie

Believe it or not, there's an entire site dedicated to wedding koozies. I found this Something Brewed koozie on a site called, quite simply, Totally Wedding Koozies. You can purchase can coolers and bottle sleeves in a variety of materials. The site has a ridiculous amount of designs for everything wedding (there are ones for engagements, save the dates, weddings, anniversaries, bridal parties, and more). You can choose one of their pre-made designs or upload your own. For someone who is a little more hands on, this is the way to go.

Personalized Wedding Can Cooler

All the koozies we have are thin and flexible, If you want something that is more sturdy, these personalized wedding can coolers are made of a thick foam. You can choose from a bunch of designs and layouts too, plus a ton of colors too.

Purchase here.

Personalized Collapsible Can Cooler

If you want options, these personalized collapsible can coolers are for you. You can choose the style (neoprene or sponge), koozie color, imprint color, font, and more. It's a lot of decisions, but you'll end up getting exactly what you want. And for me, that's what I need.
