feel that I need special toasting flutes. I don't know why. I guess that I just keep getting so much wedding stuff that I feel like I need to have a boundary somewhere. I don't think that toasting flutes are very special to me ... plus we are renting our table settings with really nice glasses.
What do you think?
I cannot imagine I will think of glasses as being so special.
i'm not having them! i'm with you in that i don't think they'll really feel that special. the glasses the venue provides are perfectly fine for me!
I don't think I'm going to get them either. For us, the money is better spent somewhere else.
My friends got us Waterford Crystal toasting flutes as an engagement present! However, if we had to buy them ourselves, I don't know if I would spend that much :oP
I think it's a person by person thing, so it really just depends on how you feel- there's no right or wrong answer.
I'm definitely not having them. We are registering for some nice crystal, that will be enough for us!
Toasting flutes would be so far down my list of spending priorities. Of course, if they were a gift I'd probably use them (and then worry that the venue would lose or break them!)
We won't be purchasing any, but people may end up buying some for us... if not, we'll gladly use the ones the venue provides! :)
Mr. Mary Jane's grandmother gave us a set of toasting flutes at my bridal shower. I wasn't planning to buy any, so this was a very thoughtful gift!
Thanks for the replies! Ok, if they are a gift than that makes them special ... if I'm buying them than in my head I'm thinking "Waste of money ... I wanted this and this instead." LOL. So the flutes as a gift is so thoughtful! I never thought about that!
No, our budget is limited and this just isn't a priority. When my fiance proposed, he had some champagne glasses in the hotel room. I plan to put some ribbon on those and use that; sentimental and free!
definately if they are gifts, but the only reason I would buy them myself is if they were really really awesome...like if they matched the decor of our kitchen so perfectly that I would have bought them to display anyways.
I bought a very unique set from carlton cards and I LOVE THEM, they are something I will always display and use on anniversaries, but if it's not a priority for you than screw it, don't waste your money.
We said no to this tradition. I figured with our crew they were more likely to get lost or broken than anything... Better to do that with rentals!
We're not planning on buying any. It would have been a complete waste of money for us and I didn't think we'd really care about them afterwards. Where on earth would I even display our toasting flutes, I have no idea. Pointless for us :) If they're not special to you, then who cares?
We didn't buy any. But we didn't do any toasts either.
I agree with most of the ladies on here. I did not buy any for our wedding, and I didn't care if we had any or not. However, my In-laws gifted them to us at the rehearsal dinner, along with lovely bottle of champagne just for us, so that was sweet.
My mom was like: You have to have them ... you'll display them! I'm like, mom ... where am I going to display them? First I have to have a house and they don't really "fit" in fiances bachelor pad. =)
No toasting flutes = one less thing to worry about bringing to and picking up from the venue.
We got some as an engagement gift and I was worried they'd break or get lost or misplaced.They're pretty and were gorgeous in photos though!
How about ordering some inexpensive ones on amazon?
We didn't have toasting flutes that we bought. We just used ones like everyone else from our venue. In my opinion, it's not worth paying for glasses that you use once. I enjoy looking at pictures from the wedding much more than looking at glasses!
I don't think you have to get them!! Maybe though if you know of a couple cute ones you could spread the word and if anyone gets them for you for a shower, awesome...if not, then oh well!
Well I think the waterford crystal ones are so pretty but we can just rent them from the rental place ... I think. So far our flutes are all clear and the goblets and glasses etc. are cut crystal (for the table setttings)
We have special glasses,but not ones we bought or that we a gift to us. We are using glasses that were given as a wedding present to my grandmother and that my parents also used on their wedding day.
Hmm... I could ask my mother about this ... I don't think this idea crossed our minds yet =)
P.S. could these be my something borrowed? If my mom has them and lets me use them?
Thats definitely a good idea to use toasting flutes as your something borrowed.
We may go that route too... I don't feel like they're necessary. I don't like holding onto things that I won't use & I doubt I'd ever use our toasting glasses ever again. If I get a set given to us, I'll pass it on to my cousins when they get married :)
We only have them because FI's mom found a nice set on sale and picked them up for us. And we won't even have any real champagne at the wedding!
We are not even having a champagne toast so therefore there is no point to the toasting flutes!
We don't have them. or a special cake cutting set, or anything like that. But it was a personal decision, as I know that we wanted other things much more... and I don't think I would have ever used them and I hate having "stuff" I need to keep around, but am not using, that just takes up space. But some of my friends have and love them. It is really just a personal decision.
You know what seems really weird to me? That I would have only 2 flutes? I mean ... if I'm opening a bottle of champagne usually it's because I'm celebrating with people. I would need like lots of champagne flutes 
Than I would only have 2 sitting around. Plus ... fiance doesn't even really drink champagne ... lol
Ok. I will ask my mother. If she has some than I will use them as my something borrowed!
No, you do not need toasting flutes. We had bought our flutes and didn't even use them. Had I known this would happen, I would not have purchased them. It was one details that we could have lived without.
I say if you want them then get them. If not, don't worry about it.
We're aren't spending the money on toasting flutes. If it's not important to you, that's money that could be spent elsewhere.
I registered for some from crate and barrel and hope to get them before the wedding. If not, then I'll probably use something we already have.
I registered for a beautiful set from Macys, and an everyday set from BB&B. Honestly, if someone doesn't buy them for me, I'll just get them myself. Yeah, you probably don't need a special pair just for toasting at your wedding, but if you find something you love then the wedding is a great excuse to ask for it!
FI doesn't like champagne, so that made it an easy decision. Even if he did though, I wouldn't have felt the need to have special glasses.
I registered for a set (4) of just regular whatever champagne flutes so I don't plan on getting any special toasting flutes. Even if we get our flutes set before the wedding, we'll probably just use the rental stemware. I would just be worried the whole time about forgetting them and it's just another thing to carry. Also, if I had special toasting flutes and they had sentimental value to me, if they broke over the course of the years - knowing how I get - I would freak out and think it was some sort of omen that our marriage was doomed or something.
Yeah, I know, I'm insane. It's fine. FI loves me anyway :)
I just recieved toasting flutes so I don't have to buy them...yah but I def. would have. My parents never got toasting flutes for their wedding but then they went on a trip for their 10th anniversary and got champagne glasses... every special occasion they get them out - for our engagement my parents had their glasses and it was nice. My FI and I had gotten beutiful hand blown champagne glasses for a special weekend getaway once and we now use those for special occasions. I can't wait to have our wedding flutes.
"display them" ? Seriously? umm.... don't take this the wrong way, but is your mom from like Stepford? hehe... I don't know ANYONE who has toasting flutes on display in their home. does anyone else?
My boyfriend's ex had toasting glasses displayed in a curio cabinet, along with some other crystal, Precious Moments figurines, a headpiece, and other wedding crap she didn't want. Definitely not my style, but she had the cash and the family to buy her piles of uber expensive stuff to fill up cabinets with.
It would be great to have some nice sets of stemware, but not necessarily toasting flutes. That's the sort of thing I would put on a gift registry.
