is it really necessary to buy toasting flutes??

I'm curious? Did anyone just use what their hall provided? If not, I guessd I better register for them.
Wheich ones did you get?

we were given ours as a gift -- but it's something nice to have and keep after the wedding. it's sentimental. we have the Waterford Celebrations flutes with the double heart -- I think they are called Romance

That's what we used too! DH's parents gave them to us at our engagement party...

We didn't have them. We just used the ones they gave us at the hall.

We had from Tiffany, but Watermill advised us that we should use theirs, so we used theirs...we will use ours for our 1st anniversary

We used toasting flutes because we got them as an engagement gift.
Ours were from Waterford. We used them on our first anniversary, but other than special occasions they stay in our china cabinet.

We used the ones provided by the hall. Same for the cake server.

We had some, but forgot them in the hotel room. They were nice for the hm, but not required.

Same here. If you think you'll value them as keepsakes, consider them. For us, it was just going to be another expenditure and they'd end up gathering dust at home.

Ditto. I didn't even DIY them. We didn't even get pics of us toasting except one whoel table pic and I didnt even drink the champagne.

I didn't buy them. In fact, the limo driver pooped open a bottle of champagne and DH and had to drink out of plastic cups. It's a fun pic, one of our favorites. We made it into a 8X10n enlargement and it is the cover pic on our album.

my mom gave us flutes with our monograms engraved i dont think they're COMPLETELY necessary, we actually probably wouldn't have bought them had they not been a gift...but now i personally like the sentimental value of them(i'm a sap with everything though ) ...we just used them on for our anniversary they're special to me

we didnt have them. i dont know if it was something i may have over looked with everything going on or not but the rh gave us different glasses for the toast than everyone else had....so they may even have them at the hall for you.

We used two of the champagne glasses we had registered for, fidelity by Vera Wang.

Re: is it really necessary to buy toasting flutes??

We didn't see the need to spend the extra money. We just used the ones that were provided by the RH.

I agree!!!

I was given an engraved cake server that I used. If it wasn't engraved, I wouldn't have used it. It looked great in pics.

It is too much to worry about before and after the wedding.

We were just going to use the ones at the hall, but then someone got us a set as a gift, so we wound up using those instead. I don't think they are necessary.
