Consider the wedding as one of the most collective gathering points of family, friends and distant relatives that will occur in a life time. It is a time of enjoyment, celebration and festivities in honor of the loving couple who have chose to enter marriage vows in a lifelong commitment.

Like with most celebrations, the eating and drinking is a central part of the activity. Anyone who has been to, plotted for or directly participated in a wedding will now what plotting goes into the wedding reception dinner, the plate and silver-ware, the food and of course, the cake.

Trends come and go and new generations bring new traditions to ancient ceremonies and celebrations. For instance, champagne has passed wine as the favorite wedding reception drink (NAM Wedding Trends May 2008), white cake has made way for chocolate cake, and sushi and sashimi are becoming staple starters for the dinner reception. 20 years ago, that would have been unheard of.

You will also find that an increasing number of people are bringing on board European dining traditions which centers around the shot glass: During the dinner it is common for family and friends to make a speech to the blissed couple, celebrating them, telling a amusing tale from their childhood or similar. Often a speech ends with a toast and a round of applause.

European traditions around the speech are much more elaborate. At a traditional Scandinavian wedding, it is common to hear speeches from all of the immediate family including mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and of course best friends. A common dinner reception will go through 20 or 30 speeches and each speech does not end with a Champagne toast, but with a shot.

Regardless of how the wedding is being plotted, shot glasses are indeed brilliant party favors that will become handy and convenient before, during and after the reception.

A branded or personalized shot glass is an item that is often saved or collected over years. That’s why the shot glasses used at weddings are ideal for promotional placements or a memorable tagline.

If you’re having a farewell party and want to give souvenir items or if you have a new product or service that you want certain networks and affiliates to know about, then you may want to consider promotional shot glasses as a give-away. Why are these glasses a fantastic item for promotional, marketing and advertising purposes? Well, for starters, these glasses are practical and usable. And, it also serves as a reminder every time the person picks up the glass for a drink- this is advertising at its least expensive but the most effective. There are varieties of items that you can use as your souvenir item but these glasses serve a two-pronged purpose for you. A marketing event can even be more special with these glasses.   When getting these glasses, keep the design eye-catching but straight to the point. You do not have an elaborate canvas to work different designs because shot glasses give you enough space to include your logo and company name, a tagline as well as contact details. Remember, this is a promotional tool so the first content that goes into the design if your company and its contact information. Designs for shot glasses should be kept simple but aesthetically pleasing as you need it to compliment the content. Nobody is going to pick up a shot glass with dull print on it. The thing that catches their attention and entices them to pick up a glass is the design. So keep the design eye-catching but not over-powering the content. It should blend in seamlessly all the while promoting your company and brand of services. Another reason why you should give promotional shot glasses to your guest is due to the fact that shot glasses can be a collectible item. Many individuals collect different kinds and shapes and sizes of shot glasses and by giving them one, you are helping them expand their collection. Adding logo and taglines to the promotional glasses makes a sense of recognition that enables your guest to mentally connect the glass with the event or occasion and your company even in years to come. These glasses are such an incredible advertising and marketing tool and sometimes you just wonder if you should be spending more on advertising budget on print ads. But no matter what the fuss, promotional shot glasses help your business in many ways and reach a larger crowd rather unintentionally. Just imagine if one of your clients uses your shot glasses while entertaining their own clients. Questions will arise on the contents engraved unto the glass such as what company is this, what do they do, where they are located and so on. Amin is the author of Discountmugs. com.
