Questions about stencils for weddings.
I know this is a long shot, but I could really use some advice, at the very least. I am a VERY ambitious DIY bride planning a wedding at the end of May. I REALLY wanted to do something a little different for favors for all 250 of my guests. My mom liked the idea of purchasing wine glasses and putting some chocolates in them for the guests.
I wanted to let her help plan, so I told her we could do that, but I’ve seen it done before and wanted to make my favors a little extra special. I have an assembly line of help in place to help use etching cream to etch all 250 glasses, the problem is coming up with the stencils. Thus far, it seems my best option is to buy a Cricut and cut them all myself. Which defeats the purpose of DIY-ing to save money. We are using knots throughout our wedding as a symbol of ‘tying the knot’. I have not yet found a stencil that would lend to this idea. I would like to use a wrap around the glass stencil, but will settle for a delicate looking knot design somewhat like those on the Vera Wang Love Knots flutes.
I am not a blogger or webmaster, but I do maintain a bio on the VERY popular wedding forum “ProjectWedding.” It is the perfect place to advertise something like this because there are soooo many DIY brides and I’ve heard of some others wanting to etch glass. I would be happy to sing your praises on my bio, in the vendor reviews, and in the boards if you could help me at all. I’d be willing to pay – I just cannot afford the prices on the other etching sites for custom stencils, especially for as many as I’d need (since most seem to be for one time use).I know I’m crazy.
This would be an enormous project. Everyone keeps telling me that. But my fiance and I are living apart until the wedding and he lives over an hour away – so I have a lot of time on my hands and could use this project to keep me busy. Plus I am a very stubborn and determined girl – when I want something, I will get it done. At the very least, please tell me if you think this is impossible. Sorry so long, thank you for your time.
My reply:
Hi, I have been finding out lately that alot of people are very similar to your requests. It seems to be those looking to etch glasses for weddings but unfortunately 250 is way to much for me to handle. One thing I could try to do is make one reusable stencil. I will see if I can start making reusable stencils and will let everyone know if it was a success or not.
