From Funny to Fabulous: 10 Can Cooler Ideas That’ll Wow Your Guests

Shop Custom Can Coolers at Rubi and Lib

Can coolers—aka drink sleeves—are more than a way to keep drinks cold. They’re a wedding favor guests actually take home and use. From personalized puns to custom pet portraits, here are 10 ideas to make your can coolers unforgettable.

1. Classic Names and Wedding Date

Simple. Elegant. Timeless. Include your first names or new last name along with the date of your wedding. Choose script or serif fonts depending on your style. This works beautifully in both foam and neoprene materials.

2. Monogram and Initials

Perfect for classic or formal weddings. Combine your initials into a crest or use your new shared monogram. Pair it with soft neutrals or metallic foil prints to elevate the look.

3. Funny Sayings and Puns

  • “Sip happens.”
  • “To have and to hold... and to keep your drink cold.”
  • “Drunk in love.”
  • “Pop. Fizz. Clink.”
  • “Cheers witches!” (perfect for fall weddings)

Add a playful tone that reflects your personality as a couple.

4. Custom Pet Illustrations

Your dog, cat, or even horse deserves a spot in your celebration. A custom line drawing or watercolor of your furry family member adds a fun and heartfelt detail. Match your koozies to our custom pet napkins for a cohesive look.

5. Venue or State Outline

Destination wedding? Hometown ceremony? Showcase a simple outline of your state, the skyline of your city, or your exact venue shape for a geographic twist that guests will appreciate.

6. Custom Fonts and Color Schemes

Use fonts and colors that match your invitation suite or signage. Consistent design language makes your entire wedding feel polished. Think warm taupes and terra cotta for boho, navy and gold for formal, or lavender and mint for spring themes.

7. Seasonal Themes

  • Spring: Floral outlines, pastel palettes
  • Summer: Brights, beach graphics, watermelon slice motifs
  • Fall: Rustic fonts, pumpkin accents, jewel tones
  • Winter: Snowflakes, evergreen sprigs, navy and silver tones

8. Retro and Groovy Vibes

Throw it back with disco fonts, checkerboard prints, or 70s-inspired swirls. Perfect for pool parties, backyard weddings, or couples who love funky flair. Pair them with our Retro Wedding Barware & Party Decor for a cohesive vibe.

9. Match to Your Bar Menu

Customize your can cooler with your signature drink or the type of drinks being served—think “His: Old Fashioned / Hers: Spicy Margarita.” Add a fun illustration for bonus points.

10. Custom Photo or Caricature Designs

Feeling extra creative? Upload a fun engagement photo or commission a caricature-style portrait to be printed on each sleeve. This works best with neoprene and digital printing styles.

FAQ: Can I design different versions for guests?

Yes! Many couples create a few designs to represent each partner's personality, or have one for bridesmaids/groomsmen and another for general guests.

FAQ: How many should I order?

Always order about 10–15% more than your final guest count to allow for vendors, keepsakes, and last-minute additions.

FAQ: Should I choose foam or neoprene?

Foam is more budget-friendly and colorful; neoprene is more durable and premium. Choose based on your vibe and guest list size.
