A Keepsake Guests Will Actually Treasure
Finding the right wedding favor is often harder than it seems. Couples want something personal and meaningful, but they also want to give guests a gift that won’t get tossed aside after the reception. That’s why more and more couples are turning to custom wedding coins. These small, durable keepsakes carry the weight of tradition while also giving you the freedom to design something unique to your story.
What Are Wedding Coins?
Wedding coins are custom-made tokens designed specifically to mark your big day. Each coin can include your names, wedding date, and designs that reflect your personality as a couple. Some couples create elegant monograms or family crests, while others choose playful artwork or symbols that tie into their theme. Crafted from high-quality metal and often accented with enamel, wedding coins are made to last, ensuring your guests always have a piece of your wedding to hold onto.

Why Couples Love Wedding Coins
Unlike disposable or consumable favors, coins are meant to be kept. They’re small enough to carry in a pocket, display on a shelf, or tuck into a keepsake box. They can also be customized to match your wedding theme, making them feel personal rather than generic. Many couples appreciate how affordable they are when ordered in bulk, while guests love receiving something that feels intentional and memorable.

Wedding Coin Bottle Openers
One of the most popular variations of wedding coins is the bottle opener coin. These custom pieces look like a traditional coin but include a cutout that functions as a bottle opener. Couples choose this option because it blends style with practicality. Guests not only receive a beautiful keepsake, but they also get a tool they can actually use. Every time someone opens a bottle, they’re reminded of your wedding day.
Bottle opener coins are especially popular for groomsmen gifts, welcome bags, or as a playful favor during the reception. They add a layer of fun to your celebration while still keeping the sentimental value of a traditional wedding coin.

Creative Ways to Use Wedding Coins
Coins can be integrated into your wedding in many different ways. Some couples hand them out as favors at the reception, while others tuck them into welcome bags for out-of-town guests. Coins can be placed at each table setting, attached to escort cards, or even exchanged during the ceremony as a symbolic gesture of unity. Couples who design both regular coins and bottle opener versions sometimes give one to the bridal party and the other to the guests, creating a coordinated set of keepsakes.

Budget and Timeline Considerations
Wedding coins are a flexible favor option that works for both intimate gatherings and large celebrations. Pricing depends on the size, finish, and quantity you order, but bulk production makes them an affordable choice compared to many traditional favors. If you want to add bottle opener functionality, it’s still a budget-friendly upgrade.
For timing, we recommend starting the design process six to eight weeks before your wedding. That allows enough room for design revisions, production, and shipping. If you’re working with a shorter timeline, rush service can help ensure your coins arrive on time.
