How Many Kippahs to Order for a Wedding
Matching kippahs at the chuppah are one of the most photographed details of a Jewish wedding — and one of the easiest to under-order. Here’s a simple way to land on the right number and the right imprint.
The formula
Start with your guest count, estimate the share who’ll wear a kippah, and add spares. A safe rule is to order for your full guest count: extras fill the kippah basket at the ceremony and become keepsakes guests take home.
| Guests | Suggested order | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 50–100 | 100 | Round up; the basket empties fast |
| 100–200 | 200 | Covers ceremony and reception |
| 200+ | Guest count + 20–25% | Spares for walk-ins and keepsakes |
What to imprint
The standard is both first names and the wedding date in gold or silver foil, often with a small motif or monogram. Pick a satin or suede color that matches your palette and a contrasting foil so the imprint stands out in photos.
Don’t forget the wedding party
Some couples order a small set of suede kippahs for the immediate family and wedding party in a different color, with satin for guests. It’s a subtle touch that reads beautifully in the chuppah photos.
Choosing for your order
Lock your names, date, and colors with a free mockup, then confirm quantity. Standard production is about three weeks, so order at least a month before the wedding — and tell us if your date is sooner so we can rush it.
