I have two sets of toasting flutes, what do I do....

This one was a shower gift from my mom's best friend. She bought them over a year ago, before i was engaged, when she saw my mom admiring them at a store in Florida and held them ever since.

This one is the Waterford Toasting Flutes that I got at my e-party? The romance line.

How do I have two pairs of toasting flutes? Which do I use or can I incorporate both? HOW??

I have no idea either. I have two also but I am going to use the ones I registered for at the wedding.

I have the same problem. Our fine china is Waterford and we we received Waterford toasting flutes for our Engagement - which I love! We were give a Lenox set that are very nice for Christmas that I don't know if I'll use. But since they were given to us so long ago I feel bad now asking where they were bought to return them..

Maybe use one pair for the water that you'll have at your table and the other for the good stuff

Maybe you can use one pair in the limo and for the CH and the other pair you can have at your table and use during the reception.

Why don't you use one set at your RD and the others at your reception?

The first set is gorgeous! I wish I had something like that!

They both are beautiful but I LOVE the first set.

maybe you can use one to toast at your RD and one at the reception ......

OR 1 @ the reception and save the other to toast your 1 year anniversary!

Re: I have two sets of toasting flutes, what do I do....

Is your mom's friend going to be at the wedding? If so, I would use hers because she got them way before your eparty ever happend and she probably will notice if you arent using them ... can you return the waterford one? Maybe you can get something else on your registry with that money?

See that is the problem, both came from friends of my mom and both will be at the wedding, I love the Waterford ones and was so excited about them, then at my shower I got these and they are so cute.

Re: I have two sets of toasting flutes, what do I do....

oh boy ... are either one of them going to the RD? maybe you can use one pair there and another at the wedding? Unless you use on for your dias table and put another set on the table with the wedding cake? although you probably wont use them, they will be for show

Re: I have two sets of toasting flutes, what do I do....

I would use on set at the church and one set at the RH.

No neither will be at the RD. Thats a good idea actually, having one for show. That is one way to handle it.

Any other ideas?

Re: I have two sets of toasting flutes, what do I do....

maybe you can use one pair for pictures in the limo's or something? i know a lot of people do a toast after the wedding.

and the other pair you can use at the reception.

Thanks, I may incorporate both ideas. Use the pretty bride and groom ones in between the church and the reception (and get pictures of us doing that) and then have the RH wash them out and put them on display by the cake. Thanks for the good ideas.

Re: I have two sets of toasting flutes, what do I do....

I say, put both on the table! who cares if you have 2 sets.

Re: I have two sets of toasting flutes, what do I do....

We have two set and I just choose one. I actually decided to use the less expensive one's at the reception in case they get broken!

Re: I have two sets of toasting flutes, what do I do....

You know what I would do?

I would drink from the 1st pic flutes all night. Like just drink your drinks from those glasses so you get your use out of it. They look like they can even pass for wine glasses.

Then I would do the toast from the waterford ones. I have different waterford ones... and they are sooo heavy so I am assuming yours are as well. so just do the toast from them.

This way you have incorporated both sets into the evening!
