Rental Glasses Make Wedding Toasts Possible

• Function. Glassware is not only for drinks anymore. You now can rent glasses to hold all types of food from appetizers to desserts. You also can use rental glasses as innovative dish risers and as part of floral or candle centerpieces.
• Types. The particular beverages that you plan to serve at your wedding event should determine what glassware you rent. For instance, you probably will not want to use the same type of glass for water as wine or for a shot of whiskey as a specialty drink like a cosmopolitan, martini or margarita. Rental stores offer many types of glasses. For dining and receptions, you can rent water goblets, wine glasses, sorbet cups, Irish coffee mugs, punch cups and more. Common rental glassware for bars includes martini glasses, brandy snifters, pilsners, beer mugs, double old-fashioned glasses, etc. Of course, you also can rent champagne flutes for toasting the bride and the groom.
• Design. When choosing glassware to rent, look for a style that complements your overall tabletop, including china, flatware, linens and centerpieces. For the bride and groom who want something unique, some rental stores offer colored or colored-stem glasses.
• Sizes. Certain types of glasses come in standard sizes, such as a 1-ounce shot glass or a 10-ounce double old-fashioned glass. However, oversized glasses, especially martini glasses, remain in vogue. Using glasses of different sizes on dining tables can give dimension to the tabletop.
• Quality. Most rental stores offer attractive, but durable glassware, but some rental stores also offer high-end crystal.
• Clean. Rental stores generally sanitize glassware and rent it to you in clean, ready-to-use condition. This service saves you work because it means that rental stores usually only require you to rinse the rented glassware items in hot water to remove any food before returning them. Be sure to check on your rental store’s exact policies relating to the return of items.
• Delivery. Depending on the size of your order, many rental stores deliver your rented glassware items directly to your event venue for your convenience.
