Our glass markers aren’t just practical:  Helping your guests find their glasses every time, and avoid glass swapping. They’re also a great way to break the ice between your guests.

Personalisation: Each guest their name and a little sentence defining them

There’s a space on each glass marker to write your guests’ name as well as a little sentence that defines their personality.
Need some inspiration? Use our list of suggestions:

• Party animal n° 1 (for the one that never stops)
• Dancing queen (for the one who won’t leave the dancefloor)
• Canapés official tester (we all know one)
• Midnight princess or auto-proclaimed DJ…

Letting your guests decide for each other or themselves, can also be fun and part of the party.

A breath of creativity

You could get the glass markers ready before the party starts.
Or get your guests of all ages to decorate them on their arrival. They’ll love putting their own creative mark on the glass markers. Leave some colouring pens, glitter on a decoarating station so they can personalise the festive designs: stars, cotillions and party hats.
