Shot Glasses with name tags

Hi everyone, we're looking for some help and advice. We are planning to have custom shot glasses for our wedding and intend for them to be used during the wedding as well as taken after as presents.

First question is therefore, if anyone has suggestions as to where to produce these?

Once produced, we would like to attach some sort of ribbon/tag to the glass to identify the recipient, but not too big so that they can keep it on during the wedding (and so drink from them).

Second questions is then, how would you recommend we do this? Any tips/advice?

Thanks very much in advance for your help!

    Personal opinion here! I think shots at a wedding are extremely tacky and classless. It's a wedding, not 1am on a Saturday at a bar.

    My venue no longer allows hard alcohol because at one wedding people people were pouring their own drinks and got out of control. The venue didn't want to deal with liability.

    Oh god Crystal, give it a rest. You literally never post ANYTHING in this forum but whining and complaining over how vendors were 'mean' to you once because you were called out for posting a honeyfund, cash bar, friendor-fueled explosion of bad advice. If its truly so awful here, then leave.

    @sugarunicorn I'm trying to figure out if you got the Crystal's mixed up! I hope to God you did! I'm having a small DW in the Bahamas. (No outside vendors are allowed). "Honeyfund", and "Friendor"? How I get that charge with only 25 guests. I'm just going to need all the other Crystal's to change their names. There can only be 1 Queen B. Lol

    Nooo Crystal not you! The "flower vendor" crystal (who has since hid her comments) who has been whining for a good week now after Celia and Centerpiece called her out when she suggested "as a vendor" that a bride have a cash bar and hire her friends to do her makeup and hair, dj, officiate the ceremony and god knows what else, and use a honeyfund to pay for the whole shebang.

    She came trudging into this thread to bring the whole incident up again, complete with screenshots and her usual MO of whining about how the vendors on this site are oh so unprofessional and mean.

    I read all your posts, Kathleen, and Celia and Centerpiece are right (and - sorry Celia - I'm not one that always agrees with Celia like many people here do). Your "advice" is bad and dangerous.

    "The life experiences I have had both personally and as a professional photographer have never entailed tables of grown up doing shots at their tables to the point of what some posters are expecting to have happen."

    Then I recommend the life experience of going to a bar. Where you can see this happen.

    @Marie good luck with that chalkboard paint. I attempted it for a friend's shower and it looked like crap and we scrapped the whole idea. Pinterest Fail!

    It is beyond me how someone can't distinguish the difference between a bottle of wine on the table and a bottle of liquor but everyone else had handled that one.

    On to the important part - did I really miss someone trying to cater 450 people for 350.00? Damn it! It's gone?

    Yes, Jeleebeez. OP never came back to explain how she was catering for her guests for 77cents per person.

    This thread really does have it all - bad grammar, name-calling, alcohol, vendor tussle, double rings, and more! It's like WW shitshow bingo up in here.

    @Stephanie, no apologies necessary. I don't feel that everyone needs to agree with me all the time; if everyone does, it probably means I'm speaking Vanilla again, lol... I do believe to be really useful though, you DO have to be a bit controversial..... (I usually do agree with you however, lol!)

    @PC; this is the ideal thread; it's got everything including a disappearing OP! It's like the template for shitstorms.

    Alcohol discussions, in any form, usually turn ugly. There is a good reason for that; abstinence has its fervent supporters, just as indulgence does (#givememorewine). But there were some real issues brought up that the OP should at least consider, beyond who wants to carry a sticky shot glass home with them and where do i get them imprinted, even though K-thleen likes to ignore those things.

    Putting bottles of liquor unattended is, for most groups, a dangerous idea. (I say most because as I wrote before, I've seen this happen at certain ethnic weddings, but those are weddings where this is expected, planned for and transportation supplied). It's a dangerous idea just as (or potentially more so) than having your family cook and serve 150 people on a summer day, without proper instruction or refrigeration. Every person is liable, or potentially liable. I'm not a lawyer, but maybe someone who is can weigh in on that.

    I notice the OP hasn't been back. I hope that's because she gave up part of this idea; the "lets let everyone pour their own shots" idea. Shot glasses as favors isn't the worst idea on the planet, but shot glasses and free flowing liquor is.

    OP is "max" now, so we're probably in for more fun.
