My baby shower venue did not offer champagne flutes just wine glasses and since I was planning on having champagne and a mimosa bar I felt the need to get champagne flutes. I ordered enough flutes for each guest but was not planning on doing anything with them afterwards. Would it be strange to give these flutes as a favor if I put a charm on it or a favor tag? I was going to get favors anyway just thought this might be a good idea?
Re: Champagne flutes as favors?
IMO, edible favors are best.
$100/person????
Is steak and lobster involved?? Edible gold flakes on the cake?
A shower is a gift to you. Throwing a gift giving event in your own honor is tacky, regardless of whether it costs $5 or $100 a person.
Gag.
lol. I can't even.
Wow.
Have fun. I hope that 100 dollars a plate is worth it.
Money can't buy class.
As for the champagne flutes, I see nothing wrong with them being a baby shower favor. If possible, maybe tie in the mimosa bar theme a little more so it makes more sense. Or you can get them printed with the date and event. As for sending guests home with dirty glasses, you could probably work something out with the venue to maybe collect them as people finish, do a quick rinse and set them out on a separate table with a sign or something cute saying, continue to celebrate at home when baby arrives.
Champagne glasses with a charm are cute, but they're going to end up hidden in the back of a cupboard, gathering dust. Especially if they're personalized and not plain. If you're set on doing a non-food favor, a non-personalized (non-baby themed) candle, set of coasters, etc is nice. At my sister's shower, they got a bunch of pretty mirror compacts for everyone to take home, which I thought was nice.

The thing about etiquette in the states is that it doesn't matter where you live or how much money you make, there isn't really an excuse for not sticking to etiquette.
Nobody is above the rules, or below them.

I've noticed it's the same few posters as well. They wait for the baby shower post to come up. It's almost like it's their way to let off some steam. Enjoy your baby & your shower!
ETA (I realized you didnt really read and then comment): Also, had you read what I said... I didn't say it was rude to tell the OP that.. I was referring to the way other posters chose to inform her. Having respect and common courtesy when you speak to others, even on the Internet is something I would think people who love to critique etiquette and social standards would basically do. But clearly I was wrong. It is also hypocritical to call me a Wk when you came to the rescue of someone being unnecessarily rude.
