Engraving Font Set

Is it ok to make my own invitations?

I decided to try to make my own wedding invitations because I just can't bring myself to pay hundreds of dollars for what is basically paper. I mean I figured the whole point of an invitation is just to get the word on time and stuff (and kind of set the tone). So I bought very nice quality textured paper, found a good font and the perfect color ink to match my wedding and printed them out. I think they look good. Then I started reading way too many bridal magazines and now Im worried that it's "not appropriate" to make your own invitations. Would you think an invitation that wasn't engraved or letterpress or calligraphy was cheap and stupid?

Do your own. That's great.

When I received invitations made by the family of the bride, I thought they were just great, because they were truly what the bride (and groom) wanted.

You had the right idea!

Did you like the invites before looking at bridal mags? If yes, then stick with it.

C'mon, you know that publications are all about marketing--especially bridal magazines.

You smart girl, you beat them at the game. Way to go!

Engraved Shot Glasses Memorable For Any Occasions

Engraved shot glasses are a perfect way of commemorating a trip to that destination you've always wanted to go or that wonderful birthday party or someone's bachelor or bachelorette party, weddings, anniversaries and any type of celebration.

Engraved shot glasses can also be made into that perfect wedding gift. Instead of buying the newly married couple the normal presents and gifts such as snack baskets or household items and the like, why not show how much you find their wedding memorable to you as it is to them through engraved shot glass sets. Engraved shot glasses act as practical and useable cards. So the next time you are stuck on what to get as a gift, get an engraved shot glass. It is unique, personalized and shows the person that receives it how much you care for them and how much they mean to you.

There are many designs that you can just choose from that are readily available. All you need to do is select the design of your choice and let the engraver know what contents, words, fonts as well as the type of fonts and the size that you want in. If you already have a design of your choice, then show it to them with your specific messages to be included unto the engraved shot glass. Your engraver will be able to advise you on what designs will look best. Not all designs and font types can be used to engrave. This is because the results will not look the same as they do on paper and, the materials used for the shot glasses should also withstand the engravings from simple one to intricate details.

There are only a select few font types that are normally used for engraving. Since these words will be engraved on glass, you would need to be able to read it clearly on glass and fonts clearly seen on paper would not have the same effect on glass. Shot glasses are made of thick-walled glass and unless you drop it on a very hard surface such as a tile floor, it should last a lifetime. Not only that, inks used to decorate your shot glasses is specially formulated for the use on glass surfaces so even after several washes and even in dishwashers, you will still be able to see the engraving on the shot glass.

The process of engraving starts off by making engraving plates. These plates contain the design and text that you want. After the plates are done, the special glass ink is applied to the shot glass and then it is heat treated to industry standards which will then produce a durable hard surface for the shot glass. Though engraved shot glasses are dishwasher safe, repeated cleaning of these glasses in an automatic dishwasher will eventually wear off the personalization and engraving. This is because of the use of very hot water and harsh detergents used in many automatic dishwashers. Because of the size of shot glasses, which are normally small, hand wash under cold running water is recommended. This will ensure that the decoration on your shot glasses will last for many years.
