Creating etched wine glasses for guests gifts

Wine Glass

Could you put the last name on the side vertically? Or could you print out and transfer it to the glass? Or do this with the EST?

Save the space entirely. No one other than your closest family, or maybe some college kids, wants any wedding favor etched or engraved with someone else's wedding information.

I'd recommend not engraving or customizing them at all. Leave them plain with hershey kisses inside. Most people don't want anything with other people's names/dates/etc. on them. Many would likely get left behind if customized.

I work as a bridal attendant at a banquet hall near me and I've watched more than a few brides look at the stacks of leftover personalized favors and ask what they should do with them? Well, for us, we tell them to take them home - they all try to leave them because what are they going to do with 100+ personalized wine glasses?

If you're insistent on giving wine glasses with Hershey kisses, I agree with @Rachel Langerhans, leave it blank - maybe personalize the paper bag or box you wrap them in, so the guest can throw it out/recycle when the evening is over.

Favors, especially like this, will not get taken. If you do this for you and FH’s toasting glasses it would be beautiful. Otherwise you will be left with tons of glasses that you now can’t use.

Yeah I wouldn't waste your time on this. I wouldn't take something customized with someone else's wedding date, especially a wine glass.

Our guests are taking their mason jars home after the reception as one favor, but we aren't etching them. It seemed a little weird to me to have our names on the glass. I got ours on an insane Black Friday deal, so if people don't take them it's not a big loss. They were about the same price as any other cups.

Personally, unless I’m really close family, I’m not that likely to want a personalized wine glass with your info on it. I think this is great for you and FH to have as keepsakes but it won’t be that meaningful to most of your guests.

Unless personalized with each guest names I would leave it blank. I agree that after all your hard work of etching your wedding information they would be left behind. But, if personalized per guest or left blank they would be taken and cherished more.

I don't see the point in putting YOUR name on a wine glass I am going to take home. It's not my name/date/happy time in my life.

This sounds like a lot of work that, frankly, most people won't want to keep.

Same as other posters.. though it sounds like a nice idea, no one will care as much about having a keepsake from your wedding as you will.. especially something etched with your information. I kind of chalk it up to being in the same category as giving bridesmaid gifts that have “bridesmaid” plastered all over them. All of this looks great for pictures, but make better props than actual gifts that people will want to use later on after your special day.

I didn't do wine glasses but I did shoot glasses. I also only did one per family/couple. There were none left behind. So if you do something that might be a good idea. I only spent about $100 on it. Everyone even said that they were glad I did it that way. I used party city. Also do something simple.

I would leave those behind or toss them in the trash. I don't need glasses with someone else's initials, wedding date, poem, etc.

I'm with the others who are advising to either keep it simple or blank. Between weddings and wine tastings I have a cabinet full of mismatched wine glasses I don't need (and this is after I got rid of 1-2 boxes last year).

We did "LOVE" wine stoppers, the only thing personalized was a label my mother wanted to stick on the front of the box. I think about half the people took them. I personally thought it was a waste of money, but my mother went rogue and got them. Side note: anyone have any ideas on where we can unload the extras? My mother insisted on getting them as favors (because apparently big boxes of candy from the candy bar she also wanted don't qualify as "favors"), but went a little overboard and wildly overbought. She got worried that every single of the 175 invited guests would come to the wedding and want one -- even the young children -- so she has at least 100 left over. Mothers + Oriental Trading Company = T. R. O. U. B. L. E.

Send me one!

But really, facebook swap shop.

Glad I came here first! I had a similar idea, but, I'm now rethinking the whole wedding favor idea. Are they necessary? I may consider replicating the attached. I don't think I'd use mason jars, but, I like the idea of using the glasses as favors and seating assignments so guests aren't crowding around a chart.

These are great. How did you get the names customized?
