Case study
One wedding, nine custom grinders: from the groomsmen to the Father of the Bride
A bride and groom ordered a custom grinder for each of the nine people in their wedding party and family. Five groomsmen, two bridesmaids, the Father of the Bride, and a Doctor of Divinity who means something only to them, each got their own engraving.

The brief: one wedding, nine grinders
The bride and groom wanted wedding favours that wouldn't end up in a drawer. Instead of one identical gift for everyone, they ordered a custom grinder for each of the nine people closest to them. That meant nine separate artwork files, a proof for every design, and nine grinders machined from the same aircraft-grade aluminium with nine different engraved lids.
Groomsmen: the inside jokes
Each groomsman got a grinder with personal meaning: a dragon for Tater, a glasses-and-moustache portrait for Cake, a cartoon leaf for Splatm, a Deadpool engraving for Pac and a cannabis leaf for Gayrod. The engravings are laser-engraved into the anodized metal, so they read as part of the product rather than a sticker on top of it.
Bridesmaids
The bridesmaids' grinders suited the wedding: winged hearts for Princess, a cannabis leaf for Friends Forever. Same metal, same process, entirely different feel. The engraving is what carries the meaning.
Father of the Bride
The Father of the Bride got his role engraved in type with a cannabis leaf. This wasn't a mass-produced product: it was a keepsake made for one person.
Doctor of Divinity
The ninth grinder was the couple's own inside joke, engraved with a four-leaf clover for the Doctor of Divinity.
The full set
Nine grinders, nine engravings: from a dragon to a four-leaf clover.
Why engraving made it work
Laser engraving is machined into the metal, so it won't rub off like a decal. And because there's no minimum order, a single unique grinder per person is a legitimate order, not a special case.
- No minimum order: each person's grinder is its own 1-unit order.
- Free digital proof for every design before anything is machined.
- Laser, 3D engraving, UV or stickers, whatever carries the design best.
- 2-part and 4-part builds in eight anodized colours.
