Details: A lucky sixpence for the bride — one of the most beloved and enduring wedding traditions in British history. Dating back over 500 years, the custom of placing a silver sixpence in the bride's left shoe is said to bring health, wealth, and lifelong happiness to the newlywed couple. Our genuine hand-polished British sixpences are dated between 1940 and 1967, making each coin a unique piece of history — over 50 years old and full of character. The coin is presented on a beautifully designed 10.4 x 14.7 cm ivory card, which tells the story of the tradition and the famous rhyme: "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, and a Sixpence in Her Shoe." A matching envelope is included, and the card features space inside for a handwritten note to the bride. Whether you are looking for a bridal shower gift, a hen night surprise, or a sentimental keepsake from a parent, grandparent, or best friend, this is a gift that the bride will treasure long after the wedding day. Each coin is carefully selected and polished by hand in England. Handle with care to preserve the natural patina of these vintage coins. Looking for the perfect card for a bride to be? Our lucky sixpence wedding card is a timeless gift that combines a genuine piece of British coinage with a beautifully printed presentation card. Unlike a standard greeting card, this is a gift the bride will keep and cherish — not just read and recycle. Popular occasions for gifting: wedding day morning surprise, bridal shower, hen do, engagement party, rehearsal dinner, or simply as a heartfelt good luck from someone who loves her. Available in three styles: Ivory, Kraft, and Silver — each with its own matching envelope. All coins are sourced and hand polished in England. Every sixpence is unique, carrying its own story from decades past.
