Okay, here’s a blog post about making shot glass wedding favors, written in a personal and informal style like the example:
Alright, so my best friend Sarah is getting hitched, and guess who got roped into helping with the wedding favors? Yours truly. Now, Sarah wanted something cute and personalized, but not super expensive. After going back and forth with a bunch of ideas, we landed on these little shot glasses.
First things first, we had to actually get the shot glasses. We went to a big online retailer that sold everything under the sun. It only took us a little bit of time to find a big pack of plain shot glasses for a good price. Boom, first step done.
Next, we needed to figure out what to put on them. Sarah and her fiancé, Tom, decided they wanted their names and the wedding date on the glasses. We thought about hand-painting them, but let’s be real, neither of us has the artistic skills for that. So, we decided to go with customized stickers. We found this website where you could design your own stickers, and it was surprisingly easy. We picked a simple design with their names and the date, and ordered a bunch.
Getting the stuff together
- Shot glasses (duh!)
- Custom stickers with the names and date
- Rubbing alcohol and cotton balls (to clean the glasses)
- Some cute ribbons (optional, but it makes them look fancier)
Once the shot glasses and stickers arrived, it was assembly time. I roped in another friend, and we made a whole assembly line out of it. First, we cleaned each shot glass with rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball to make sure the stickers would stick well. Then, we carefully applied the stickers to each glass. This part was a little tricky, you gotta make sure there are no bubbles and the sticker is straight.
Putting it all together
After the stickers were on, we decided to add a little extra flair. We tied a cute ribbon around the top of each shot glass. Sarah picked a ribbon in her wedding colors, which was a nice touch. It really elevated the look of the favors, making them seem a lot fancier than just plain shot glasses.
Finally, we packed them up in some cute little boxes we found online. We added some tissue paper in matching colors, and voila! The wedding favors were ready to go. Sarah loved them, and I have to say, they turned out pretty darn good for a DIY project. All in all, it was a fun little project, and we saved a ton of money by doing it ourselves. Plus, it’s always nice to add that personal touch to a wedding. I even kept a few extra shot glasses for myself, gotta test out the product, right? Cheers to Sarah and Tom!
