I love the idea of pint glasses! I originally wanted to use them as favors for our wedding, but we ended up nixing that idea. We collect pint glasses from different bars and such and those are the only kinds of glasses we have in our apartment, so I definitely would like to get one.
i think it's cute- but i'd want to think about how they'd be able to clean or rinse them before getting them home if they're going to use them at the wedding.
I think it is a good idea, but what about the people that don't drink beer? Will they leave theirs at the reception because they wouldn't use them at any other time?
And although, I sell the type of favor you are considering, I am not a big fan of reusable favors with the bride and groom's names and wedding date on them. Honestly, if I was a guest at your wedding, I would probably take the favor home and think it was cute, but I would probably never use it again because it would have your names on it.
I like the idea of dual purpose favors (my favors are also centerpieces that guests can take home), but I just heard a LOT of people who does NOT use the favors with the couple's name and date of marriage on it. Those get tossed away usually even if its functional. So my suggestion might be to either not personalize it with your name/date, or use a removable sticker that they can take off so the guests will still use it at home. Just a thought
@Lady, my fiance also collects them. Our reception site does have a kitchen so we can rinse them there (I had already thought of that). I don't drink beer, but we will also be having other cocktails, and you can serve almost anything in a pint glass. Hm....maybe we can place something else on them, not sure....
I am all for dual purpose favors! I am using luggage tags as place card holders with the hopes that people take them with them when they leave. I say go for it!

I like the idea of a pint glass - but wouldn't use it after the wedding if it had the couples name on it or wedding date! Sorry!
As a guest I would not be excited about a pint glass favor with the bride and groom's names on it. Perhaps if it just had a logo on it. Do you have anything on your invites/programs that you could use? I am thinking star, shell, feather, something like that.
I love the idea of the candy buffet though!
I think the pint glass is a cute idea too, but I'm in the group that can't stand stuff with the couple's name/date on it. Sorry :o(
OMG LOVE the idea! I was thinking of getting FI a groomscake shaped like a Guinness pint so that sounds awesome to me.
I'm with the others though. Could you put something else on the glass other than your name? Is there another theme to your wedding? A flower, fleur de lis, etc? I see you're getting married in Dec. how about a snowflake?
I agree with using a label if you really want to put your names and wedding date on them. I would definitely appreciate the glass, but it would annoy me to have other peoples' names permanently etched on them. The idea of a different symbol or phrase is good too. Maybe your favorite quote?
I'm doing luggage tags and we opted not to have any monogram or anything else etched on them. We will put a label on the box (with table assignment), so it'll be dual purpose AND be generic enough for people to want to use them. My dad liked them so much, he asked for extras (as did sister's FI).
I don't mind kitchy things like that with the name on it. Now, a champagne flute or wine glass wouldn't be as good in my opinion to have the name etched on b/c you usually have a set of those. But a pint glass? We have pint glasses from breweries, vacations, gifts/souvenirs, wedding dates, half marathons, etc. Those are more one by one items - I would definitely reuse a pint glass w/ your name on it. If you want, you could always just put on your logo or something that is reflected at the wedding and skip the names - it'll still look like a favor. We did custom coozies for our jamaica wedding b/c we KNEW ppls drinks would bleed in the heat and not many people would think to bring coozies. I don't care if they throw them out or not, but we keep single random coozies so i figured our guests would reuse them.
That's a cool idea! Plus people will most likely keep it and use it, not toss out like many other favors
I'm a big fan! My husband and I collect pint glasses and use them all the time. So, we would love your favor!
i love the pint glass idea! my mum and i are pains for pinching cool glasses from bars! my middle sister has been known to carry a big purse for this reason! but, erm, nevermind, my family are crazy!
i am loving the dual purpose favour idea, i saw this idea on the blog last week i think, and i am running with it!
i am looking at using 2 per person, one with our names and the wedding date on it, and the other with the guests name on it! they will double as place name cards, as i dont want my tables to be too cluttered, so using the name cards as favours is genius as far as i am concerned, and having done a bit of research on etsy, i can get 200 button badges for about $50! admittedly i will have to design them myself, but i can cope with that.
in addition to those, my FI is loving the candy buffet idea, i dont think they're big over here in the UK but we are both big sweetie people so this will work for us, am thinking of incorporating a cookie buffet too, and have guests bring a couple dozen of their favourite recipe cookies, doubles as a reception dessert bar and favours!
considering my date aint for at least 18months, i am enjoying dreaming!
@ashroehrs: i love it and i'm doing that, too
after hearing everyone else's input
i don't want our date on there, but i do want our names
we both love to draw, so maybe we'll have a logo that includes our names, but not as the central look.
i mean, people have glasses with the names of wineries printed on them and everything, so, as long as there is a design too, it should be fine
what it looks like is no matter what your favor is, someone won't like it
and some people won't like any favor
just go with whatever you like
my aunt and uncle did cute little bottle openers (2000ish)
my other aunt and uncle did matchbooks! (1980s)

We are thinking about doing pint glasses with our names, date of marriage, and some sort of pic on them. So people could use their glass to drink from for our reception and then take it home with them. Is this a good idea? Just wanting opinions. We'll also have wine glasses for wine. Another favor we are using is having a candy buffet.
