I thought I wasn't superstitious, but I guess I must believe in bad karma... b/c even I wouldn't use items from my SO's last wedding!
Especially since someone else might be able to see the original engraving if they looked hard enough...
I say donate them to charity and let someone who needs them have reuse them...I'm with Mr. Bee, I think reusing items from your SO's previous wedding is bad juju. They're $14.00 for a dozen on sites like yarmulke.com, just google "wedding yarmulke"
I wouldn't use them either. I know I would not want anything that would remind the other one of the previous marraige. I guess I am superstitious as well.
I agree as well. Get all new stuff. You just don't want to have any memories from his previous failed marriage on your day.
If they weren't printed with the previous information, I'd actually say you could reuse them. But I wouldn't use them since they are printed with the information. How funny would it be if you put a patch with your info over it, and it fell out during the wedding - and revealed the old info!!
... I'm going to say that I personally would be more comfortable with getting new ones. I'm not superstitious, but there's something about using something from his previous wedding- it just eaks me out a little bit. You are amazingly rational about it!
I don't know what a kippah is, but I don't think the words "re-use" "wedding" and "previous marriage" should EVER be used together. Bad karma. I'm actually kind of surprised you would even be okay with using something from his former wedding.
I agree with louboutin! I think the suggestions to donate them and get your own is the way to go.
I'm jumping on the bandwagon here. They're not that expensive, and especially since the old information is inside, I would definitely not be comfortable reusing them.
i'm with the others. even if you put a sticker or something over it, curious people would probably pull it off and you just wouldn't want that. plus, yarmulkes just aren't that expensive. and if you buy your own you can get some to match your wedding colors and personalize them.
I'm not superstitious, but I'd be worried about logistical snafus, like your replacement tag falling off and exposing the info below. That said, if the personalization is simply on a tag sewn into the kippot, you could easily remove the tag and replace it with a new one. That said, new satin kippot are around $15 a dozen (customized with your own wedding info), so it might not be worth the effort. We used Mazeltops.com and really liked working with them, so if you need a source for new kippot, you should definitely consider them. Here's my post on our kippot:
Well with this many posts I think I agree with everyone and will find a place to donate them. Any one need 150 black kippah with someone elses name and wedding date on it? haha, jk. Thanks for the help ladies!
i agree with everyone else. I wouldn't want to use anything that had to do with his ex..
Hell No!
Every so often my family go through the kippah drawer (all collected from various weddings and bar mitzvahs) and have a good old divorce clear out! We do it in good humour, but we don't wear the ones from couples who have split up.
I'm with the hive on this one. I wouldn't want a memento from the failed marriage to co-exist with the new, real one. I was married before and in my search for a sweater/shawl I momentarily thought about my Mom's old knitted sweater that would be perfect except for the fact that I wore it in my first ceremony. The reception site is yet another thing I reconsidered, my best-friend is the coordinator of a beautiful place I love back home, and although my first wedding didn't make it there, we made deposits for it. It was borderline, I thought, since it never even happened ... but the fact that it still has those ties is enough.
Something just you and him to start your new life together ... it's good.
Since everyone seems to agree (including the original poster!)... we'll go ahead and close this thread.

My fiance and I just recently moved houses and I came across the nice, black kippah he had from his previous marriage a few years ago. Unfortunately they are engraved on the inside with his & his exes names and wedding date, but they are black so could possibly have something made to cover that and have ours put in? How much are about 60 kippah for a wedding otherwise? His parents offered to buy them for part of their stuff to help us, but I'd hate to throw away perfectly good ones if I can find a way for no one but us to know... thoughts?
