Custom Photo Coasters for Weddings: Cost per Guest, Honestly
September 22, 2026·4 min read

Quick answer
Coaster favors are priced per project rather than per guest, because quantity and design drive the cost. The practical way to budget is to set a per-guest number you're comfortable with, multiply by your household count rather than your headcount, then ask us to quote that quantity. Coasters usually suit one per place setting or one per couple.

Favors are the line item couples cut first and regret last. Photo coasters sit in a useful middle ground: they get used at home instead of thrown away in the parking lot, and they carry a photograph rather than a monogram nobody remembers.
Here's how to think about the cost without guessing.
Budget by Household, Not Headcount
Coasters live on a coffee table. That means one per couple or one per place setting is normal, and it cuts your quantity nearly in half compared to per-person favors.
For 100 guests, most couples land somewhere around 55–70 coasters.
What Moves the Price
Coaster pricing is quoted per project. The factors are simple:
- Quantity — the biggest lever, and it drops the per-piece cost.
- One design for everyone versus several designs across tables.
- How much work your photo needs before it's print-ready.
- Your date, since production and shipping have to fit it.
Coasters or Magnets?
If you want the favor to be handled and used, coasters win. If you want it seen daily, a 3.5-inch magnet on the refrigerator wins, and per-guest it's usually the lighter cost. Plenty of couples do magnets for guests and a small set of coasters for the parents' tables.

What a personalized photo coaster says without speaking
A custom photo coaster lives where you take your morning coffee, where the family gathers around the table, where guests stop and look. Unlike a frame on a shelf, it stays close to the rhythm of the day.
We work from your photograph — a wedding, a baby reveal, a celebration of life, a baptism, a Sunday after church. We help you choose the layout, the cropping, and the finish so the image reads beautifully under a mug or a glass for years to come.
Across the Yakima Valley
Families across the Yakima Valley have a way of holding tight to the photographs that matter. We hear it from grandparents in Tieton, from young couples in Granger, and from churches and ministries gathering in Ellensburg. Wherever you live in the valley — from the orchard roads of Tieton to the riverfront in Prosser — a keepsake photo coaster can quietly carry your story from one chapter to the next.
