Engraved metal (hip flask, tankard, pen): a simple drawing to help you picture short or long wording — not a seller’s product, font or layout. Real items vary, so always check the seller’s own preview or proof. What you type isn’t stored.

About this idea

Hip flasks are a long-standing wedding-party gift, and they suit walkers, fishermen and racegoers too. Most are stainless steel; some are pewter or leather-wrapped. Engraving is usually on the front panel, with room for initials and a short line.

For a group, sellers can often engrave each flask with a different name and the same date.

Who it suits

Best men, ushers and fathers of the couple; walkers, shooters and racegoers.

Ordering in time

Most flasks are engraved to order. For wedding parties, order early enough to check every name before the day.

Before you order

  • Give the seller one clear list of names for a group order.
  • Check the capacity and size — some are very small.
  • Flasks are for spirits; the seller’s care notes will say how to clean them.
