An order recently came in for a really thoughtful way to honor all of the men involved in a particular wedding.  There were 20 of them in all!  Needless to say, the gifts could not be terribly expensive, but at the same time, the groom wanted them to be of high quality and something that these gentlemen would be able to use and value forever.

The couple choose our pewter Coin Jigger, which is an attractive accessory for any bar, however the groom intended for it to be used as a shot glass.  The Jigger is made of polished pewter and has a Kennedy fifty cent piece embedded in the bottom, which can be seen from both inside or outside the cup.

The custom part of this order included a special engraving chosen by the client.  On one side of the jigger was the wedding date.  On the opposite side, they provided us with a drawing done by the bride saved in a digital format (jpg).  This drawing was their wedding motif and had been used on the Save-the-Date notices, the wedding invitations, and the wedding programs. It was a beautiful image of a blooming laurel branch joining with a cotton plant, meaningful flora to both the bride and groom.

After we did a bit of clean-up on the image, it was engraved on all 20 jiggers.  The custom engraved motif worked beautifully on this piece,  giving it a a jewel-like heirloom quality look. Everyone who came into our engraving workroom was ohing and ahing over the results.  And after our initial set up fee for the motif, the cost of this great groomsmen gift was very reasonable.
