I was given this key, along with an attached seating assignment, at a wedding reception. While many guests assumed it was merely a decorative key, a few clever guests quickly realized the truth. The bride and groom had ensured that guests would have a key to an important treasure, one needed for their own celebrations!

What does this key open?

Hint 1:

It's common to avoid sharing photographs of a key blade because doing so reveals a lot of information about the lock.

Hint 2:

The provided photograph does a poor job hiding the shape of the key blade.

Bottle opener! (Hence why it doesn't open a door)

The treasure here is therefore

Alcohol, which is often used to celebrate.

The key blade will look something like this:

  • $\begingroup$ @Brian my immediate thought from the celebrations clue was some sort of alcohol, so a quick search led to wedding bottle openers, so I probably wouldn't have got it without that! $\endgroup$
