It is thought that a form of this tradition first began in Egyptian times as a way of protecting the marriage by warding off any evil spirits, as the couple started their journey together. These days, tying tin cans to the back of the married couple’s car is simply intended to bestow good luck.

We thought it might be a nice idea for a wedding invitation. So, we printed all the wedding details on to a bespoke label wrapped that around a tin can, then tied the can to the bumper of a Beetle.
