It’s that time of year again – wedding season! If you are considering ordering personalized glassware for your wedding but are unsure of how you would present them to your guests, you’re in luck! Personalized glassware is very diverse in both size and shape allowing for the possibilities to be truly endless. Here, I will show you five ways to present personalized glassware at your wedding.
Candy
Just about everyone loves candy! Filling your glassware with a candy is a quick, inexpensive way to put out your favors. This idea is great for guests of any age. There are also many ways to take it a step further for a little extra dazzle. For example, using tulle is an easy way to add more color to your tables. To do this, begin by cutting a square of colored tulle large enough to place inside the shot glass and have the edges of the tulle spilling out of the top. Add candy to the center of the tulle and you’re done. Remember to get candy that isn’t going to melt so no one gets a messy shot glass at the end of the night or gooey fingers.
Desserts
Using a larger personalized shot glass to serve a sweet treat is a fun method for presentation. Simple layered desserts are very eye-catching in these larger shot glasses. No bake cheesecake, JELL-O or a fruit parfait are just some of the layered desserts that can be made in a larger shot glasses. We recommend a shot glass between 2.5-3.5 ounces.
Lucky Bamboo
Using a larger shot glass or a small glass (around 8 ounces) to give your guests a miniature bamboo garden is a very unique gift for your wedding. Tiny pebbles can be bought from home improvement stores or glass pebbles can be purchased from craft stores. For a splash of color, use fish tank pebbles from a pet store. Bamboo stalks can be purchased in bulk from many online retailers.
Candles
Many personalized shot glasses can be used as a votive candle holder. These are great for non-drinking guests as well. Scented candles add an extra touch. When your guests smell the candle they will be reminded of the great time they had at your wedding.
Another way to use a shot glass as a candle holder is to use a larger shot glass with flared sides with water and floating candles. A 3.5 ounce shot glass is enough space for one floating candle. To tie in the colors from your wedding, try adding food coloring to the water.
Toasting and Drinking
This is the most obvious choice for the use of a shot glass. From shooters to JELL-O shots, any drink can be served in a shot glass. Adding a witty phrase such as “take a shot at love” will add a bit of humor to the presentation.
