For girls doing the traditional glass breaking as part of their ceremony, are you getting something special to hold the glass? if so - from where?

Re: Glass breaking
I got a special glass from Zion Lion. It is blue, to match my colors, and it comes with a velvet case. Basically, after FH breaks the glass, we bring it back to Zion Lion and they send it out to another co. to cut the glass into smaller pieces. Then they sell things to have the glass put in. We're going to get a glass mezuzah (sp?) and have the blue glass inside.

Re: Glass breaking
this is a great topic!!
is anyone not ordering a special glass for the breaking? what are the types of glasses that are typically used?
I heard that some people break a lightbulb wrapped in a linen napkin becuase it makes a popping sound
can anyone clarify?
thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Glass breaking
CLM used the lightbulb and he told me that most places use a lightbulb now because they're a lot easier to break than glasses and they've run into problems with glasses in the past - not breaking, people cutting themselves,e etc.
