I LOVED making this EasyPress Mini Wedding Koozie Idea. It’s so simple, but it turned out so amazing, I just can’t get over it.
Custom Wedding koozies are a popular wedding gift idea for the bride and groom to give as wedding favors for summer weddings. And the EasyPress Mini makes it a breeze.
The choice of gold foil on black and then the swirly rose design–it’s just so cool. And so professional looking. And I made it. Now isn’t that awesome?!
Plus, it’s a straight-up fun gift to hand out at a joint bachelor/bachelorette party, with a cold drink. Always with a cold drink.
EasyPress Mini Wedding Koozie Ideas
Not that I hit a ton of engagement parties or bachelorette parties or anything, which is kind of the point. Like if I had a ton of these parties to go to, there’d be no reason to make my own gifts, because I’d have to buy something in bulk. But, for the once or twice a year that friends get married, this is perfect.
I could even personalize these to be in the colors of the wedding. But, now that’s going too far for me because I’m not always 100% certain what the colors are. Don’t judge me. It’s not like it’s my wedding.
But, if it was, I would be passing these cute EasyPress Mini Wedding Koozies out at the door. HA!

- EasyPress Mat
- Standard Grip Cricut Mat
And you’re done. It’s that simple. And the results are STUNNING!
Can You Wash these Wedding Koozies in the Washing Machine?
Yeah, absolutely. I have washed these koozies before and had no problems. After about a million years, the foil might crinkle and crack, but it’s going to take a lot of washes, particularly with this type of material that doesn’t get crumpled up in the wash but stays pretty flat.
So, if you decide they need to be washed, go for it, just do like colors in warm water and hang to dry instead of putting them in the dryer–just to be safe.
What Materials Can You Use to Make EasyPress Mini Koozies?
You’re really only going to find koozies in this foamy material–and you wouldn’t really want any other material anyway unless you can find that rubbery foam stuff from the ’90s but I don’t think that’s a very environmentally conscious choice. HA!
In all seriousness, though, you can use a lot more materials than the foil for these koozie groomsman gifts. Here are a few choices I really love:
- Heat Transfer Vinyl
- Infusible Inks
- Foil Iron On
