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!

    It is not possible to do shots responsibly. The whole point of doing a shot is to get drunk faster.

    Not only would I not partake I would be offended. And I'm only 28 and a fairly big drinker lol.

    No Jessica- that's not how it works. If a customer leaves a bar wicked intoxicated and gets into a crash, the bartender and owner of bar are liable.

    ETA: and from what Celia says both the OP and the venue would be liable in this case.

    I want to know what adult would really take shots and multiple points during toasts as OP has said the shot glasses were for. I don't care who you are, more than 1 shot during roughly 20 minutes of speeches is reckless af.

    Jessica, thats all well and good - but when you're going to be telling guests to take a shot at not one, but multiple points during speeches and other events in the evening, it is no longer about people simply 'knowing when to stop' and rather, venturing into the realm of actively encouraging and pressuring people to drink more than they may be able to handle.

    This whole idea, misguided as I think it is... would be much less of a shitshow waiting to happen (though still a shitshow, imo) if not for the whole 'we're going to tell guests to take shots at coordinated points during the speeches!' idea. I can down wine like nobody's business, but 2 shots and I'm done for and I'm sure I'm not alone.

    No I just think people are fucking rude. This girl had an idea she wanted to do because it seemed like a fun idea for her and her fiancé and all you people are being rude to her. She asked a question. Not for people.to be rude. You don't want to do shots then don't do them! If this is something she is going to do I'm sure she knows the ins and outs of it cause the venue would have to tell her.

    And I can do shots responsibly. You take one to celebrate. Then you stop. There you go.

    She asked for advice, Jessica. We're giving it to her. Its not rude to deter someone from a plan that is likely to end VERY badly for all involved. Don't like it, dont ask for advice.

    I'm getting so tired of explaining this..

    So if your friend wanted to something that could leave her legally liable for someone's life, and they thought it was fun, you would humor that and let it happen?

    The venue doesn't have to tell her dick, are all you people now lawyers??? My goodness.

    So lets say at least 3 shots. @Jessica.

    "Regarding the comment about mini shot bottles - actually we are probably going to have those as well!!"

    "have some toasts where shots will certainly be encouraged"

    One more comment then I'm done ........ I hope that those who have a problem with letting adults moderate themselves with hard liquor voice their concerns to all the other Brides who post on here about having bottles of wine/champagne at each table. Let's not forget those venues that have servers walking around with trays of wine/champagne all night. I do believe that if the Bride wanted opinions as to how to personalize wine glasses or bottles of wine for each guest, some of these comments would not have been made. The stereotyping of behavior because of the type of glass involved is ridiculous.

    masmer, cheers Smiley smile

    Guys, it's ok, this person would actually let her friends do whatever they wanted to do if they thought it was cute even if it means that someone could die, they could be breaking the law, or if their friend could end up being int he hole literally tens of thousands of dollars.

    She doesn't care, so is obviously not a good person, so just let her go off and "do her."

    Everyone drinks at a wedding. Everyone is going to be leaving the wedding. What's the fucking difference yoy idiots? People can drink and get drunk just as much as someone doing shots and then leave.

    This is going to turn into a frat party not a wedding. I'm sorry, I like my alcohol as much as the next person, you don't have a $7K wedding bar tab by being anti-party, trust me. But, mini bottles, shot glasses, whiskey & vodka on tables and multiple shots being encouraged during toasts is simply reckless, careless and honestly just tacky.

    According to Kathleen's logic why stop at vodka? Why not Everclear or Bacardi151? hey if you can't drink responsibly that's on you.

    On the legal liability issue, if something happens and someone sues, if their lawyer knows what they are doing, they will sue the venue, the owners, and the hosts. The more people you sue, the better the chance you can actually recover $.
