You went to a wedding or two last summer where the bride and groom gave away a wedding koozie to each guest. It was nice at the time since you could use it to keep your beverage cool while walking around to mingle but you haven’t used it since. You feel uncomfortable throwing it out since they obviously went to some trouble to get it personalized. But you’re not sure what to do with it.

Here are some things that you can do with wedding koozies once the wedding is over:

• Use it. Sounds obvious but many people feel odd actually using the coozie to keep drinks cool after the wedding is over. No one is going to pay attention to what’s written on the outside so don’t feel shy about using it again out in the real world. This is especially great for collapsible koozies and it’s much better than getting stadium cups at every event you go to!
• Scrapbook it. You probably have a bunch of pictures from the wedding and maybe a few other souvenirs. Cut the koozie up and add it to the scrapbook so you’ll always remember what the day was like.
• Make a memory box for the wedding couple. Scrapbooks aren’t just for you; they’re great for gifts. Use the koozie as a the centerpiece of a memory box to give the couple on their first anniversary.
• Make it part of an unrelated art project. All items can be re-used in art if you get creative enough.

You might as well do something with that wedding koozie since you’ve still got it. Get creative!
