Toasting flutes

Are a lot of you doing the toasting flutes for the reception. I'm deciding if I want to get them.

Hi Gail.

We didn't get toasting flute. I actually took 2 flutes from my good Crystal and used those. Now everytime I look at my crystal I think of the wedding day.

We got them on a whim one day. We were out at Pugliese (where we got engaged) and noticed that they had hand-painted champagne flutes with pink roses on them. They were really pretty so we decided to get them. We might actually get a wine glass from them for our wine ceremony too (not the one where you mix white and red wine -- that sounds gross to me ).

We are using them. I got Tiffany's flutes as an engagement gift from my aunt. They are engraved with our names and wedding date. I love them!

Re: Toasting flutes

I wasn't going to bother with the extra expense, but FSIL bought us the Vera Wang Love Knots and I was more than pleased!!!

My sister and BIL bought us the Swarovski Crystal ones too, so we will be using them at the wedding.

Re: Toasting flutes

I wasn't going to but bought a pair of Waterford toasting flutes. I justified the purchase with a couple of silly reasons:

1. I registered for the Marquis by Waterford line. I figured I'd get two higher end Waterford glasses.

2. I'm 100% Irish so it covers an ethnic tradition

3. We are getting married on the 4th of July and figure that every 4th FH and I will be off from work and can celebrate by drinking our beverage of choice out of the toasting flutes... therefore getting a lot more than one day's use out of them

4. They kinda have a fireworks look to them so it goes with the day.

5. I found a website that sold them for over $20 below retail price and they were even cheaper on there than some of the e-bay sellers.

I can come up for a reason for anything

Re: Toasting flutes

Yes b/c we got them for my bridal shower.

Not sure if I would have spend the $$ if not for that. We actually didnt get any good pictures of them!! I forgot to ask them to take a pic of just the glasses( and for $150 a glass I want pictures of 'em!)

Re: Toasting flutes

I didn't want to spend a lot of money on toasting flutes. And I didn't want to panic if something had happened to them. So, I bought inexpensive ones, so if something happens (i.e., they break, get lost after the reception) it won't be a big deal.

Re: Toasting flutes

On our one year anniversary of dating my fh and i went to a bed and breakfast. I wanted it to be special so I bought two crystal flutes at tj maxx for sooo cheap and champagne. We will use those as our toasting flutes.

Re: Toasting flutes

Id like to save them forever and have our anniversary toast in them every year.
