Koozies...TACKY???

justlove630

We're having our wedding on the beach and it's going to be more casual than formal...a laid back island feel.  I'm a big fan of koozies, but is it an appropriate favor?  Guests would be able to use them right away since the reception will be outside.

I've received MANY koozies as favors.  I think they are great and something that everyone (almost everyone) will use.

Love having a Koozie on hand for an ice cold beer. Great idea!

I would hate it, especially if it had your names and wedding date on it.

I wouldn't like it, but my parents would love it. I think it comes down to personal preference and the crowd you are inviting. If it fits with their style and the style of your wedding, go for it.

I think the opinions of koozies vary greatly depending on where you live. Here in the southeast, koozies are everywhere. I keep mine in my purse and most people use them at bars. I think because tailgating/college football is such a big deal around this area people have grown accustomed to using koozies. My grandparents still tailgate lol.

However, I wouldn't puts your names on them and I would only give them as favors if you are serving bottled beer.

This. I received one as a favor one time and they went straight into the garbage - we don't use them.

I think koozies are fine.  We've gotten some at weddings, and I could really care less that the names/date/monogram of the B&G are on there.  Koozies aren't something I'm worried about having a matching set.  In fact, we've never bought a koozie.  The ones we have are ones people have left at our house or ones we've gotten at weddings. 

I usually have one in my purse too.  I use it for soda a lot.  If I don't have a place to put my soda down, and I'll have to hold it, I like having a koozie so my hand doesn't get cold.  Same thing with if the sodas were in a cooler full of ice.  I don't want to hold a freezing, wet can.

I work in a bar in Texas, and *lots* of ppl here carry them around with them.  I thought about using koozies as our favors too, but thought it was too cliche since I'm a bartender!

It really must depend on your area. I don't have a single koozie and I wouldn't be at all excited about getting one, especially if it had, well, anything on it. I would never even think of putting one in my purse or taking it to a bar. But if people in your area are really into them, then I guess they'd like it.

would love it! feel free to send one my way when u order them lol

I just had to laugh out loud when ya'll said you carry them in your purse! I grew up with Koozies. But now I live in California and they are non existent here. I'm going to start carrying one in my purse too! What a great idea! I'm sure ppl will give me a funny look at the bar while I am rocking my koozie.
