We’re taking a shot and tying the knot!

Mr. Bloom and I discussed what we wanted to give to our wedding guests as thank you favours.  We decided on giving a CD to one half of a couple and a personalized shot glass to the other half. 

Here is the image that I tweaked using Adobe Photoshop.

I guess I could have created my own drawing but there’s only 45 days left before the wedding!  I have my hands full with DIY projects and weekends booked with other weddings, showers, and parties.  I saw this lineart and thought it truly represented Mr. Bloom and I. 

We thought the shotglasses would be perfect especially for the menfolk attending our wedding.  I priced out several manufacturers that produced in Canada or shipped to Canada.

I really liked the high quality laser etched shotglasses from Lasercraft.ca.  Their website can be found here:   http://www.shotglasses.lasercraft.ca/ .  These were the most expensive as the design and text are etched and not imprinted on the glass.

Another online website is CustomGlassware.com.  The glassware page is here: http://www.customglassware.com/imprinted_glasses_16.htm .  They can imprint on both sides of the glasses.  They also do Satin Etch look.  This imprinting process produces a frost-like effect on the glass that makes it look like it was laseretched or engraved.  This type of imprinting is much more economical than laseretched glass.

Example of regular colour imprinted shotglass:

We decided on DiscountMugs.com .  Their wedding favour page is here: http://www.discountmugs.com/usa/wedding-favors.htm .  We chose them because their shipping prices were less than the other company.  Prices for the glass, imprinting, and logo design screen setup fee were basically the same.
