In fact, there are so many different cartoon styles out there that it can be hard trying to choose from the sheer number of designs out there, so just to help, we’ve rounded up some of the best concepts to inspire you.
Simple Cartoon Wedding Koozies
Very simple drawings or sketches work brilliantly, but with subtle hints from a talented designer, even a stick figure to represent the bride and groom can be made with ease! Subtle changes in height or respective hairstyle are common requests and accessories are another quick way to make a cartoon figure more like you too. Cowboy hats and boots, fishing rods or surfboards are popular choices, and ones that will make your guests laugh! Other ideas you can consider with stick figures is to put them on cars or other vehicles to change things up a bit, or add a wedding cake to the mix.
Of course, a simple sketch doesn’t have to be of the bride and groom; If you think that wouldn’t work for you, why not look at some other ideas, like a line drawing of a wedding car with ‘just married’ on the back, or maybe some silhouettes of other icons that represent you, like two birds of the sky? love in a tree
Filled or ‘Cell Shaded’ Wedding Koozies
A step up from the line drawn cartoon wedding koozies are the filled or colored type. With these you can start choosing hair, eye and clothing colors from your digital (and later printed) representations. Good designers will also be able to adjust hair styles and color, making the length and cut match that of a photo that can be emailed. Adding a bit of color to your cartoon opens up a lot more options for styles that can work, from the really simple types to the more elegant and stylized. Each one you can edit to match your look of course! It’s just a matter of preference.
Some of the best designs can simply be a black and white drawing or even a silhouette. Try and ask your koozie designers if they can outline you and your partner from a great posed photo and just add accents to suit.
Anime (Manga) Style Wedding Koozies
Have you ever imagined being an anime character? Then these designs are just for you: characterized by beautiful shading and big eyes, these illustrations look great on anything, let alone your wedding Koozies! Again, vendors with strong in-house design teams will be able to tailor template designs to more closely match you and your partner. Quick and easy is simply changing the color of the hair and eyes, and also the color of the groom’s suit and tie set. Taking a little more time will change the styles and length of the hair; Due to the complexity of this type of illustration, some vendors may charge a small fee for this service, but they are great options for those who don’t want a full caricature.
Wedding koozies to draw it yourself
A current popular trend is for couples thinking of getting married to draw themselves or a friend in a simple, casual style. The drawing can be realistic (but not a high-quality caricature, try tracing a scanned photo onto an art pack carefully) or very simple – the key, of course, is to make sure whichever you choose is easily recognizable. The easy way to do this is to accentuate the things about yourself that people associate with you. Have a sharp nose, let your imagination be with you! It will look great, and things that are fine on paper will look even better once they are scanned and printed on the real thing. Remember that you can do a lot of things to get things right, and if you hit one person on one drawing and the other person on another drawing, most designers will be able to put the two good drawings together in one koozie.
When drawing your characters, use white paper and dark ink, black is best. That way it will be easier to ‘isolate’ your drawing and manipulate it later on a computer. If you complete your drawing this way, the black pencil can easily be changed to a white pencil if you prefer a dark colored background for your Koozie.
Cartoon Wedding Koozies

Many cartoonists go for the exaggerated heads style you’re sure to be familiar with, but many will take things a bit backwards and produce something less amplified if desired.
Most cartoons start with a short summary of what you would like and a couple of photos. Some brides like to attach a photo of the wedding dress they are going to wear so they can incorporate it, as well as photos of the hairstyles they intend to have that day. Done right, these cartoons can really bring a smile, and many Koozie vendors will let you own the original artwork as well. Printed, it’s a great addition to the wedding album!
