Why Use Custom Pins in a Wedding
Custom lapel pins are no longer just for companies or collectors. At weddings, they work beautifully as:
- Unique wedding favors
- Groomsmen or bridesmaid gifts
- Bridal party accessories
- Save the date keepsakes
- Seating place markers or table décor
- Memorial pins for loved ones
- Guest thank you gifts they will actually keep
They are small enough to carry, beautiful enough to display, and personal enough to carry meaning long after the wedding is over.
7 Ways to Use Custom Pins at Your Wedding
1. Groomsmen and Bridesmaid Gifts
Create a pin with your initials, wedding date, or even a shared inside joke. Give one to each member of your wedding party. It is a small token that feels thoughtful and personal.
2. Guest Favors They Will Actually Keep
Instead of something that ends up in a drawer, give your guests a high quality enamel pin. It could match your wedding theme, your favorite animal, your hometown, or anything that tells your story.
3. Pins for the Ceremony
Pins can create a uniform look for your wedding party. They can be worn on lapels, dresses, or bouquets. They are perfect for parents, officiants, ushers, and anyone you want to recognize.
4. In Memory Of
Honoring someone special who cannot be there is simple with a memorial pin. It is a subtle and meaningful way to include them in your day.
5. Save the Date Pins
Turn your save the date into a keepsake. Send a custom pin with your date and names that guests can place on a corkboard or fridge.
6. Table Markers or Escort Cards
Use custom pins in place of traditional table cards. Attach a pin to a mini card with each guest name. They will know where to sit and also have a keepsake.
7. Themed Wedding Add Ons
Having a vintage, beach, mountain, or pop culture wedding? Custom pins let you add fun touches to your theme without going overboard.
What Kind of Pins Work Best for Weddings
- Hard enamel: Smooth and formal look
- Soft enamel: Colorful and fun, great for casual themes
- UV printed: Perfect for full color or photo designs
- Die struck: Classic all metal finish
Pins can be made in any shape, match your colors, and include effects such as glitter or gold. Share your vision and we will help bring it to life.
When Should You Order
Order at least four to six weeks before your wedding date, especially if you want to see proofs or samples first.
- Design and proofing: two to five business days
- Production: ten to fifteen business days
- Shipping: two to five business days
Rush options may be available, but planning early gives you more choices and less stress.
