the gift that leaves with your guests

A kippah is the one part of your celebration your guests take home. Long after the flowers are gone, your kippah sits in a drawer, a tallit bag, a glove compartment — and every time it’s worn, your simcha is remembered. That’s why choosing it deserves real thought: not just what matches your colors on the day, but what your guests will actually reach for afterward.

choose colors they’ll wear again

Here’s the secret most people learn too late: a kippah in your wedding’s blush pink looks beautiful on the table — and never gets worn again. The kippot that live on are the classics. Choose from these, and your guests will still be wearing your simcha years from now.

Want your accent color anyway? Put it in the personalization on the inside — your names and date can carry the celebration’s color while the kippah itself stays timeless.

the fabrics

Suede, silk, and linen are the elegant favorites — each with its own character in the hand and under the light.

a season tip

Celebrating in the colder months? Guests gravitate to velvet and burlap in winter — the warmth of the fabric matches the season. Spring and summer lean linen and silk.

why every other kippah looks the same

Here’s a trade secret: most kippah sites don’t really personalize. They stamp your text using loose metal letters clamped together — the same two or three typefaces, usually 18-point Helvetica, for every single order. That’s why so many kippot look generic — even when the names change. We do it completely differently.

we make a printing plate just for you

Every order gets its own custom plate — not letters pulled from a drawer. That means real choice: as you design your kippah on our site, you pick from a collection of special fonts and elegant scripts, in Hebrew and English — styles no set of stamping letters could ever offer. Your kippah looks like your celebration, not like everyone else’s.

and the plate is included — no plate charge, ever

Other printers who do offer plates add a “plate fee” or “setup fee” on top. With us, the plate is included in your pricing. The price you see is the price you pay.

real printing, not temporary stamping

Here’s what nobody tells you: when kippah printing isn’t done correctly, it fades within a few months — just when your guests start reaching for it again. Our personalization is printed permanently into the kippah. It will not rub off, flake, or fade after the party.

inside, outside, or both

We can print inside the kippah, outside, or both. Outside printing is striking — but choose what goes there wisely. A beautiful monogram, emblem, or logo becomes part of the design, and guests will wear it proudly. Names and the date? Those belong inside — a kippah with someone else’s name printed on the outside is one nobody wears again. If you’re unsure, we’ll help you choose what guests will actually wear again. Your pricing includes printing inside; logo and outside printing are available for an additional fee.

one more tip from thirty years of simchas

always order a few extra

Whatever isn’t used at your celebration can be donated to your synagogue — and every time a member reaches for one of your kippot, it’s a mitzvah carrying your simcha forward.
